even if it were leicester, I would still be happy they didn't seize their chance to close the gap on us.

Lol, them never pass liverpool and man city finish na we wey sitdown third with the intention of winning the league na them wan close gap on? Guy bone

Do you people hope or look for excuse to tear Rooney apart? How can you say he was shyte. Coming from chrisley who would praise RVP after scoring a goal even if he had been poor over several games, and even if he was the worst player in the game he finally scored.

I don't understand why some players attract bad comments here in the slightest opportunity. Rooney' movements have been praise worthy even when he is not on the ball. Yesterday when he was dropped into attacking midfield behind Falcao, he did not put any foot wrong.

Juan Mata:
Real Madrid B: 39 Apps, 10 Goals
Valencia: 174 Apps, 46 Goals
Chelsea: 135 Apps, 33 Goals
United: 42 Apps, 14 Goals

Spain: 34 Apps, 10 Goals






Santi Cazorla:
Villarreal: 66 Apps, 7 Goals
Recreativo: 34 Apps, 5 Goals
Villarreal: 162 Apps, 26 Goals
Málaga: 42 Apps, 9 Goals
Arsenal: 136 Apps, 27 Goals

Spain: 69 Apps, 11 Goals




The above stats dont even take into consideration Assists, Individual honours, U16, U20 etc.

Bros, forget all this sermon.. He didn't do much, he wasn't all shyte because of his goal and his contribution to the last goal, if not he was shyte

You dey mind that guy, even his own statistics didn't prove carzola is head and shoulders above mata like he'd say

dopeJemi:


I've forgotten, but I know they've won by a large margin before, twice self

E sha no reach 9. No Epl team ll stand by and watch u put 9 goals past them. United ve beaten Birmingham 7-0 and there's the famous 8-2. And Arsenal did concede 6 twice last season and 5 in another but 9 is just too much

pazienza:

Carzola is head and shoulder above Mata, age or no age. Thank you!

which cazorla? santi?
oh please - mata shytes on cazorla every day of the week. cesc or perhaps david silva are the only spanish midfielders better than mata in the premier league.

dopeJemi:


I wouldn't have brought up this statistics if I were you

Carzola, 61 appearances(last season and this season) 13goals.. I excluded his first season at arsenal cause mata has only played for 2 seasons

Mata, 41 appearances, 13goals


Carzola, 30 appearances this season, 7goals
Mata, 26 appearances this season, 7goals

Carzola has 99 appearances for arsenal alone, mata has 82 for both united and chelsea and has 18goals, while carzola has 23

According to the statistics YOU brought

So explain to us again how carzola is head and shoulders above mata? Or do you mean the head and shoulders shampoo?

Did you miss the EA overall performance index rating? Look again, and see the gap between Mata and Carzola. There is more to being a. good midfielder than just goals, if goals were all that matters, then Iniesta and Xavi wouldn't be considered as great midfielders.

Mata is a learner where Carzola is. He should be coming for some tutorials! *grins*

Which forget the sermon. Why do you guys have double standard?

Tell me when anyone has ever used the word 'shyte' when RVP has scored even if it were a penalty?

Now someone uses 'shyte' on a player who scored one and contributed massively to another. He had an effort on goal cleared off by a player, else it was in. He operated between two very tall defenders and was man marked heavily, yet he put only 4 passes wrong all afternoon.

that is because EA's player index weighs heavy on appearances. you can only use it to compare players who have had similar number of appearances. mata hasn't really played this season so it's obvious cazorla would be higher on the list.

however, if you put it down to the numbers according to the number of minutes spent by the respective players, arsënal would sack cazorla & send him to kano pillars. mata is one of the most creative players that has ever played in england. he always scores or assists.

Your statistics speak for you, not EA's overall performance index rating...

PietroRico:
they and liverpool.
Hopefully we destroy city's own next, after they fail to win tomorrow.

If we beat City, we are there.

Liverpool has an FA cup, meaning their two leaders will be back to steady them. Their remaining fixtures are very cheap.

Dude u're letting sentiments cloud ur judgement on this issue. We both know today dat goals go a long way in determining how good a player is if not Neuer might just ve won this last Ballon d'Or. Besides apart from the goals Mata's stats puts him well over Cazorla

Incase you haven't noticed, a player's consistent high performance is what earns him higher playing time than his mates, and most players that go on to be world bests often learn to play lots of matches with little or no injury.

Look at Hazard, a future Ballon D' or winner on top of that EA list and note the amount of playing time he has amassed, your excuse is simply sentimental. It's nobody's fault that Mata played lesser.

that's untrue....
hazard hasn't played better than mata this season. he has only played more games & half of his goals were awoof penalties. you have to dig deep to present statistics.....don't go over it from the surface.

hazard has played the most minutes of all european forwards. this is why he's on top of that list. before you present stats, you have to first understand how they arrived at it.

Lol! Comparing Hazard to Mata is like comparing Bendtner to Aguero, the gap in quality is just too much.*grins*

Playing more matches means that you get more chances of messing up and reducing your cumulative score. Hazard has proved that he can produce top quality performances match after match at the highest level of football, that's why he is on top of that list.

playing more matches means you can score awoof penalties like hazard did yesterday without really pulling trees. hazard has scored 3 penalties this season - he has only 9 open play goals in 2656 minutes. mata has 7 open play goals in 1756 minutes. so in 900 mins(equivalent of 10 full matches), hazard only has 2 goals to show for it.

come on, mata is more creative.
