Substitutes . Treatment of Mata, Torres and Mourinho Azpilicueta by media is so peculiar that Portuguese coach also related to question their reasons. The Sunday Times that the players are "increasingly unhappy " and that some "observers" consider it a " punishment" for its proximity to Rafa Benitez. Ensures that Mata is close to Roman Abramovich or at least one of his "favorites" . Mourinho justified his lack of defensive work Mata and Hazard certainly got better stats last year ( more interceptions , a higher percentage of robberies, more tackles, more number of balls divided earned) . Oscar has defensive stats than most midfielders ( the third most tackles of the workforce) . But Mata scored more goals and more assists gave the two . Matter of taste , is assumed. And fears : if you try and the best of us, we almost put the batteries , think the rest of the squad . The newspaper said that if they had come exciting offers both David Luiz and Fernando Torres had been sold .

Tony Cascarino was on SSN yesterday defending Jose, his decision to drop Mata and his fallouts with the Madrid players. Was embarrassing. Basically he is doing everything for the good of the players, trying to make Mata a better player.

LOL

I remember when Rafa rotated/rested Mata once...they ****ing slaughtered him

[RedReet]

Shame for Mata though, the more Mourinho is questioned, the less chance he has of playing.

Mourinho hates Rafa so much that it affect his team selections

Fantastic

I mentioned that it would do that months ago by the way.

When Rafa Benitez went to bed on Saturday night, he had a lot on his mind. Milan might change their formation. There was a distinct possibility that they'd play with three strikers instead of two, with a playmaker in behind. "Honestly I don't know [what they'll do]," he said.

Before deciding how Napoli would set up, Benitez revealed he'd sleep on it and hablar con la almohada. "Who speaks Spanish here?" he asked at his pre-match press conference. "What's almohada in Italian?" It's cuscino - pillow.

Benitez would talk with his pillow. It's remarkable what comes to you when you're asleep. "The pillow suggested the line up to me," Benitez smiled the following day. "It's very intelligent." Giandomenico Mesto would play instead of the injury carrying Christian Maggio on the right of Napoli's back-four while Blerim Dzemaili looked fresher than Gokhan Inler so he'd partner Valon Behrami in midfield.

I still really, really love that bloke.

Rafa is still our boy. No disrespect to BR, but Rafa still has unfinished business at Anfield
