kellzfresh 7,229 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 So many tackles!!This guy is a very intelligent footballer. He just knows how to cover up defensively for his teammates (especially hazard), knows when to get forward, releases the ball quickly. Reminds me so much of javi martinez its ridiculous.

Rekin 835 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 If stats are to be believed (and they are, in this case), Nemanja Matic had an even better game today than against Man City.Being a large fan of WhoScored I usually follow their numbers, and today Matic was the second best player on the pitch, securing a rating of 8,67 (Hazard had 8,9). He ended the game with 10 tackles, 2 interceptions, 5 effective clearances and winning 4 aerial duels.What you might have missed if you only checked the figures after the game is that he acquired most of those stats in the first half (8/10 tackles came there), which was the period in which we practically killed the game.It is really something when a DM gets this kind of ratings, Matic got 8,67 in this and 8,48 against City. For comparison, neither Mikel nor Lampard has gotten those numbers in any appearance during the whole season. Ramires has achieved it only once, while scoring twice against Bucarest (got 8,92 then).That in combination with the fact that he has only started twice in the premier league just makes him come off completely awesome.Oh, he also got 7,8 against Stoke.

jasonlol 154 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 just imagine next season we might go from a matic-lampard double pivot to a matic-kroos pivot; now that would be something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 He (or they) was not 100% which is why they rested Ramires. City took too much from the players, spec midfield. Ramires Matic and Willian ran more than 7 miles in the City match. Gilvorak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HD3D 1,038 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 What a scandalous player. Has just arrived and already established himself as an irreplaceable influence in our midfield. Not to mention he's only 25 years old and he hasn't even fully adapted yet.He will keep getting better and better! kellzfresh, Excalibur KTBFFH, Hamon and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I'm waiting for him to get more shooting chances, I have a feeling his shot against City wasn't a fluke. It would add so much more to us if we had a long distance threat once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Flash 1,144 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Another quoit performance. A good addition to the team, he tried really hard today and got the ball off them few times. Great to have him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
