Juan Mata v Andreas Pereira
Juan Mata
Technique
9
Excellent technique, very rarely does he let the ball get away from him.
Passing
8
A very good passer of the ball with good vision to spot a throughball.
Shooting
6
Other than mobility, shooting is his weakness. While he has the ability to score regularly, he is far too keen to play the pass when the shot is there.
Movement
8
Very good movement, it is just his lack of mobility that stops him being able to get in dangerous positions more often.
Skill
8
Very good skill, though he should use it more to create space.
Juan Mata
Andreas Pereira
Technique
7
Very good technique, very reliable and unlikely to lose control. It is why his deadballs are so good usually.
Passing
7
His passing is good but his vision needs to be developed as he does not always spot the pass he should make.
Shooting
7
When played far enough forward he will add goals, but he is not a goalscoring midfielder as such.
Movement
6
His movement is that of a player still learning a position, he has not yet settled into one role and it shows. He can be unsure with his runs.
Skill
7
Very good skill, however he has to learn a role to be able to utilise it properly.
