Stats 7,142 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I think he done well. Made some very good interceptions and you can see he is aware of getting a 10th yellow card which is affecting his game. Considering that aspect he done well. Now he does not have to worry about the suspension I think you will see him do what he does best. Bossing the game, intercepting balls. I am just happy he game away from this game without a card. Like I was saying that has an impact on what he does in the game. He does not want to go in for a challenge that he may get booked for. Still a crucial player and best DM in Europe for me.

Laugh1ngMan 393 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 That and he's probably feeling the effects of playing first season without winter break.Also, I don't want to be mean but Matic has become like Mikel of late really. Slow and ponderous on the ball. Gave the ball so many times today and there were occasions where he wasn't sure what was going on around him.I have noticed this about him as well, whenever there is an AM in a little pocket of space he just simply refuses to give the ball to them. He usually just turns around/dribbles sideways and gets the ball out wide. Starting to get frustrating especially in combination with an out of form Cesc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Not what he used to be, but can't afford to be dropped right now. Manage to beat Utd and Arsenal and there's room for flexibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Looked so Sloooooowww, poor passes throughout. Kept on waiting to be crowded and has lost his ability to dribble through in midfield Styles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,048 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Not sure what's happened to him, but he's been poor for quite a bit. I hope he picks up for our next two games. Styles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFC888 219 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 He looked to me as if he had the suspension that would have come with a yellow in today's game on his mind. A bit tentative for sure. He's been good against the big teams this season, let's hope he's at his best against Man Utd and Arsenal. Milan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Like Cesc too many touches on the ball today. 3 or 4 touches then a pass. Needs to be a bit more confident and play first time or after 1 or 2 touches. kellzfresh and Bosnian Blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I like he wants to do more with the ball because he is physicaly strong and has decent control, meaning he could have some good runs tru the middle.But for that he would need different partner than Cesc. Someone who can cover up when he runs forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom2013 446 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 It's really easy to play 25 games every season... it's more complicated to start 50 and expect a great performance every time. We need someone we can really trust to play in the place of Cesc and Matic and rotate a little.Ramires doesn't have the physical attributes or the quality in both positions. We need a better Ramires... Khedira would be ok, Pogba perfect, Kondogbia... Plyers that sometimes can play for Matic because they have that physical hability but also play in the number 8.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 The pitch probably played a part in the poor performances. Everyone seemed to take twice as long to do the simple things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who can cover up when he runs forward.Absolutely agree, I think how too bring the best out of him.Is not make him sitback, shielding and protecting the backfour almost all the time.he need someone to cover his aggresivenees movement and allow him to be more proactive. Not being the one who cover another player in midfield area stroey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
