Nemanja Matic

No comment since 14th of May for this monster of a player?

That's a product of his ever-reliability and the way he just steadily goes about his business without much fuss. Love him.

Two thing's I love about Matic.

When a pass isn't on he always dribbles forward instead of passing back to defence.

He always seems one step ahead, he seems to clock the opponent's next move and when it happens he is there to sweep up and take the ball, happens a few times in that video As well.

There was the obvious stand out contenders last season who did great but this guy didn't get the praise he deserves.

Best in the world for what he does, for me.

[Leif 6,006]

I can think of better defensive midfielders but not any better 'anchors' per se

[MihaiM24 156]

this guy is like the incarnation of Makelele

[Madmax 9,219]

Fantastic video. One thing I wish he'd work on though is his right foot. A top player like him shouldn't be this painfully one-footed.

One thing people always seem to overlook with Matic is his playmaking ability. He can actually play a bit too going forward.

Indeed, if there is one negative about Cesc arriving last summer is that we had to town down Matic's attacking game to make up for Fabs not so great defensive game.

Hopefully if we find another CM this summer and we go 4-3-3 or push Cesc up we will see a bit more of it next season.

That game where he schooled Yaya over and over again and spanked the bar from miles out.... :heart:

[RhesusReus 219]

God. Such a magnificent player. So, so lucky to have him. Well done, Jose. Well done. Definitely one of the best bit of business he's ever done, right up there with Selling Ibrahimovic for 60m and using that money to buy Snjieder, Eto'o, Milto, and Thiago Motta. Matic is as good as all those signings combined. Remember when we had a Lampard-Ramires midfield for all those years? nightmare.

Nemanja Matic gives the lowdown on his Chelsea team-mates... when I don't know what to do with the ball I pass to Eden Hazard and we ALL listen to John Terry

He's sloppy at times going forward though.

not really his job anyway

True but thats something like a yaya toure is better at.

True but thats something like a yaya toure is better at.

But then, Toure isn't a defensive midfielder these days...
