BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Two assists from a midfield destroyer? Maybe his all-round competence is better than we (certainly I) give him credit for. He definitely plays better with Luiz next to him though. He doesn't have to be so defensively responsible, because unlike Ramires or Lampard, Luiz has the intelligence and the speed to recover from a forward run.

Joker10 946 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 The way Matic talk about his Benfica days and under Jesus i have a hard time believing he would have been anywhere near the player he is right now. He had to change position and learn a lot to be the player right now. While a player like Sturridge for example just needed the opportunity, i don't think it mattered in his case. He would probably be banging the same amount goal at Chelsea as he is at Liverpool.Seriously it must be a joy to be a midfielder and play along side Matic, we really need a find a good midfielder in the summer to play alongside him.

laeth 527 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 It's not a big statement to claim he is one of the best holding mids in Europe.Heard opposing fans say he is one of, if not the best, defensive midfielders in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Mourinho on Matic..http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/mar/23/jose-mourinho-chelsea-arsenal"He has added stability, not losing the ball but, at the same time, he is not the type of player who plays only square passes," added Mourinho. "He can see the movement forward and the space. He recovers the ball but in a very clean way, not with fouls in dangerous positions, and he is still a young guy. We'd given the club two or three options on players [in January] and the most expensive was Matic but we thought his relationship between quality and price, and his potential for the future, would be better for us." kellzfresh and didierforever 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eligius 121 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Probably his worst performance in a chelsea shirt, yes. but how is Jose to blame for this?Pairing him up with Oscar for a good duration of the match when we were getting outmatched psychically. Playing 4-3-3 in the start of the game and not playing Willian to cover for Ramires's trackback ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
