He actually regressed last year, the injury notwithstanding. This is a really, really big season for him -- especially with the World Cup visibility on the line.

Not sure how you can say someone regressed when they played maybe 4 full matches the whole season.
All I’m saying is, we are better when he is on the field. Whether that’s because of him or the style we play matches him better than Sweat, who knows, but we are a way better and more dangerous team when Mata is healthy.

I agree with that we're better with him than without him, I'm just saying even early in the season before his injury he was nowhere near as impactful last year as in 2016. Obviously once the injury happened you kind of throw everything else out because he never really got himself back to full fitness.
