He had a good game up until that point. It's not a coincidence he started giving the ball away once Cesc went off and that lumbering donkey Matic was brought on. He was being asked to do too much because Matic was afraid of the ball and invites pressure as usual. The poor positional play and distribution is just part of a young players growing pains. It'll get better with more experience.

Get him out my club

He would've had a shot at Top 3 if he maintained his 14/15 form. The fact he finished 8th despite his disastrous 15/16 speaks volumes about just how phenomenal he was last season.

Yes.

2016 and people are still forcing Matic into the starting lineup. Both he and Ramires should be phased out. RLC needs more chances in his traditional position. He clearly isn't an AM.

Like, this shit is bordering on illegal atm. You cannot keep treating young players like this. Just let them go out on loan and stop selling fans and these players dreams. it's pathetic. There's literally no hope for these guys if they cannot play against Scunthorpe at home.

I'm close to done with this club. I'm sick and tired of this f**king s***. Mother**** Scunthorpe ffs. Unbelievable.

The greatest players elevate their player even when their teammates can't. eg. Hazard in the entire 2nd half of last season.

Just start actual footballers. Stop phasing out the donkeys Guus.

Henrique is spot on. Azpi is massively overrated on here. He should be a depth player used primarily for defensive tasks or injuries but a fullback that is clearly a liability offensively shouldn't be automatic first choice.

Bale isn't better than Hazard. His qualities probably suit the PL more though. Pace/power is king over here which Bale has in abundance. Hazard's flair, technique & imagination is tailor made for La Liga.

KDB has gone missing in almost every big or away game this season. That fraud Silva might be holding him back.

Bale is not leaving Madrid to join a club outside the CL lol. If he does leave it'll be for United.

Hazard's getting his dream move to Madrid next summer no doubt about it. Zidane will make him his #1 priority and you don't turn down Real. Hopefully we can get Isco or James in return.

What the fuck are you talking about? Muller wouldn't start for Madrid or Barca. Get over it. And yes he wouldn't start for Bayern either if Ribery wasn't a crock.

Matic is a B2B midfielder masquerading as a DM but doesn't offer anywhere enough going forward to play that role so he's pigeonholed there.

Huh? He tried to derail the thread by bringing up a player that has nothing to do with Matic.

Easily the most enjoyable part of today's game. Was great to see a player who could actually play football again.

Jokes on you, I'm done with Oscar too after his OT performance. Go after Isco who's unsettled and sell him to Juve.

I'd say we sell high and sign a Top class DM instead. This team needs a player in the mold of Busquets, Kroos, Alonso, Motta etc. Costa, Oscar, Matic can all go for me. We need to start signing footballers again that can play not just athletes.

Matic has not been "magnificent" since David Luiz left the club. He's just as inconsistent as Oscar is and is a notorious big game flop where he's routinely outclassed by his fellow peers. What Thiago Motta did to him in the CL last season should be illegal.

And Matic could never deliver the Munich performance of Mikel. JOB is far from infallible but unlike Matic he can actually pass and is one of the best in the World under pressure. He added swagger and confidence to the team today and played well alongside Chelsea's current whipping boy under awful conditions. The entire team must be delighted that they aren't playing alongisde a cancer that's constantly caught of position, simply cannot pass at the standards of the Top level DM's and doesn't constantly overdribble.

Haahahaha Running around like a headless chicken and giving the ball away for fun is not a MoTM performance.

Hopefully he's sold. He could never deliver the sort of performance Mikel did today. Doesn't have the intelligence or technique JOB has.

He was fucking shit. As bad as Oscar & Ivanovic. "Our best player". You've got to be kidding me. Caught out of position multiple times, can't pass as usual and misses the best chance of the game.
