Joshybizzle 109 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Looked really solid against Stoke today, won the ball & distributed it time and time again, seems to like to switch the play too which could be interesting with who we can have bombing up either flank Based on that £21m seems a bit of steal, these are early impressions of course but against one of the more physical sides in the EPL he stood out for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Liked how quickly he moved the ball up the pitch, and was very calm with moving forward with the ball himself. And then there's his physical dominance when on the ball. Great buy. Stingray and Barbara 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidEU 2,023 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Passing was a bit wayward at times today, but the vast improvement is easy to see. Encouraging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDY 1,290 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Pure domination. The body feint in the second half and quick pass to Oscar for Schuerrle's chance was so classy. Barbara, bluesman2610 and Berke 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Top guy. Especialy for the first full game, he was surprisingly calm. As said, this transfer was realy brilliant one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee25 1,044 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I said it before, but he is quality. Believe me. The only question mark I have about Matic is his fitness. Whenever I see him play for Benfica, he seemed to get noticeably tired as the match progresses and against Stoke, you could tell he had tired legs.

AndersonBLUE 819 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 What a figure to have. Completely bossed the game. A few heavy passes but for his first game back, he played like he's been with this team all season. So calm and confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mak 4,459 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Really classy performance from him. So calm on and off the ball. Often see him jogging to almost a walking pace and then he bursts with his long legs to make an interception or tackle. Great anticipation. We just needs another one of him!

Berke 58 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Very calm, composed. Won the ball and shifted it. That little dummy in the second half and pass to Oscar for Schurlle's chance was exquisite. Welcome Matic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
