He's not going to call him shit is he? Jose could easily play Mata from the right and Schurrle from the left if he wants two playmakers and a runner. He doesn't because he doesn't rate Mata as highly as Oscar and Hazard.
Well he doesn't have to play a runner out wide, this is a guy that has played a very narrow midfield before and relied mainly on the full-backs to provide width, he can easily do the same in this case. But he wouldn't because:
"I want the other two players, on the wings, to adapt to that reality and learn how to do things they were not ready to do before.”
Do you really believe he's talking about learning how to provide width here?
