Excluding the obvious gulf in the class of the players' respective team mates, I think this performance proves, without a shadow of a doubt, that Mata is better than Cazorla.
Mata was absolutely superb, instrumental in Chelsea's first half and my pick for man of the match. Even over Ramires.
Oh and before I forget: Wenger out!
Mata >>> Cazorla

Mata is better than Cazorla but I think Cazorla played better today.

Hes better but Mata was awful in the second half.
Carzola, though is good, and it is his first season in EPL

You think Cazorla played better today???? Which game were you watching? The man was almost completely anonymous.

To be fair, he was pretty isolated when Chelsea started to sit back more. It's unfair on a top player like himself when all he has to pass to is Torres.

True that. We needed someone to hold up the ball in the 2nd half, and someone to slow down the pace of the game.

Caza played today as well? In the 2 Arsenal games vs Chelsea i think i saw him touch the ball half a dozen times over both the games
