No Mata, no win...Simples!

Mata would have done nothing. Oscar is irreplaceable at the moment. In place of Schurrle and we would have been down several goals by half time.

Lampard was superb, why does he always have to be the scapegoat when we lose?

Too many plums special the scouse Shiite bringing Rafa into it.
Luiz was injured so wasn't selected. Guess what the dumbasses speculated he was not in favour and leaving. We saw tonight he's the best in his position and will still be a blue.
Mata is not yet fit after a months break. So now he's said to be out of favour by the same t wats. You couldn't make it up

Mata played against Villa mate. Fit for Villa, but not weeks later for Bayern. Cmon stop making excuses for the Special One.

look , where would mata have played on that team exactly? , instead of Oscar? , Oscar was our best player and is allways great in European games , hazard? , yeah you don't drop hazard hes too good. Schurrle ? , he was creating chances and putting a shift in, we got unlucky that ramires got sent off , there was nothing wrong with anything else , if Chelsea had held on for 5 more seconds we wouldint even be talking about mata right now.

So your telling me Chelsea can now afford to drop Mata? You honestly don't deserve him, especially when your starting the likes of Torres.

Chelsea have multiple top attacking midfielders , so yes we can afford to drop mata , we can only play 11 players at a time.

Mata started against Villa. Had you watched the game you'd know he wasn't ready. It's weird you telling me what a great player Mata. Tomorrow will you tell me the sun rises in the morning.
A big majority of us love Mata which is why as fans we voted for him as player of the year 2 years running. Or was that you to Iago?

Mata is just one player. Good player in a free role, but this year he has some serious adapting to do in the league.
