Special Juan 28,141 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Just look at the pace that he uses to get in the face of their player in the build up to Schurlle's goal.Absolute fucking class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapkun 668 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Matic was pretty bad today...However, I blame Mourinho for his form and personnel choice.Probably his worst performance in a chelsea shirt, yes. but how is Jose to blame for this?

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...
Rapkun 668 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Personally, I think we had a decent first half, in which Matic had his worst performance out of the 2. Luiz covering for him made him look less terrible.He got paired with oscar only after we conceded, thats where Mourinho decides to focus on scoring rather than stability. Probably this wouldn't have happened if Luiz didn't get injured.I completely agree about the 433 and Willian though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Matic's worst performance for the club. Horrendous passing, taking aimless pot shots and then at times just look to be labouring around the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Had a bad game - it happens.Thought he was the worst CM we had today (even lamps) was better despite the misplaced passes.It was obvious to me that psg midweek did influence team selection and subs.

Henrique 9,133 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 To be honest have not seen a mikel performance which qas this bad.Lets just hope it was a one off.Simply over run today.To other side, it was a match where we were facing a defensive side and needed to take the initiative, unlike the game against Arsenal or City, a match where we needed more than "not losing the ball" (and in fact he did many times) and more than "recovering the ball in a very clean way, with fouls in dangerous positions"...

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 To be honest have not seen a mikel performance which qas this bad.Lets just hope it was a one off.Simply over run today.Yeah...was begging for him to get subbed, after they went 1 up. He kept misplacing pass after pass...and provided more hindrances than any contribution.and yes hopefully he'll come back fresh in a week's time.

Eligius 121 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 You can say all you want about how crap he was the previous game, however, without the Matic signing, we would not be in the epl title race. Mufassir08 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted April 5, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted April 5, 2014 Another beastly game from Matic. This guy has to be the most dynamic holding midfielder in world football. The way he burst from the left on the by-line and cut it back for Salah to score was just fantastic. Ok, Stoke were rubbish and offered little to no attacking threat but Matic has been quality in almost every game this season.From his MOTM performance in his debut against City to, Newcastle, Tottenham, Everton and Arsenal. He has become my favourite player already and is arguably our most important player alongside Hazard. He reminds me a lot of Redondo. Absolutely world class.
