Willian scored for Brazil yesterday. At least he's getting some recognition for his performances. He should be starting ahead of Hazard imo. I think he knows when to pass the ball better than Hazard does an Hazard just isn't performing well at the moment. I think he needs to play alongside Mata to get the best out of him.
I know Oscar has been playing well so far, but if Mourinho actually gave Mata the chance we all know he'd be playing as well as, if not better than Oscar through the middle. Yes we shouldn't question Mourinho, but honestly an AMF trio of Willian-Mata-Hazard would have created us more chances and possibly moer goals than Schurrle-Oscar-Hazard,
Schurrle and Oscar are hard-working players, but we have 21 points from 11 games, so it's not like our new "hard-working" style is more effective as Benitez' own way of doing things. I'm sure if Mata and Willian play more, we would definitely create more chances. It might make our defense more vulnerable but our defense has been so-so, so we may as well play more expansively from the start and take risks.
Saying that, like I said before Mourinho doesn't trust our pivot/ central midfield players so he's relying on others to do the dirty defensive work. A deep-lying playmaker plus a combative "attack destroyer" like a Makelele/Mascherano (for Liverpool) would stop us having to make our attackers tracking back
That's my two cents on the whole Mata matter
