I see Mata as one of those strikers who consistently frustrates. Misses more than he scores. And often it's a glaring bad miss.

But against the non OFC bigger teams, at least he's large presence and a bit of a menace. I'm thinking of Eire in Dublin when he came on for Wood, and Garbett scored.

Sadly at this point in his career, Waine is largely anonymous in those sort of games, and just lacks any ability for hold up play, when the AWs need an outlet forward. His face falcon against the US was in reality a lucky fluke.

A mix of the two, would be perfect. Can Mata (age 24) improve his finishing? Can Waine (23) become more a physical presence?

Who knows but yeah at the moment Max is doing better in club land, so he edges it for now I reckon.

Edit - and yeah maybe the LOI is bit better than we give it credit for. The way Pijnaker is going with AFC (who was in top form with Sligo last year there), certainly makes one think that.

Sadly at this point in his career, Waine is largely anonymous in those sort of games, and just totally lacks any ability for hold up play, when the AWs need an outlet forward. His face falcon against the US was in reality a lucky fluke.
