Nemanja Matic

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Looked so Sloooooowww, poor passes throughout. Kept on waiting to be crowded and has lost his ability to dribble through in midfield

[LAM09 6,777]

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.

[CFC888 219]

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.

[OneMoSalah 8,783]

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.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

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.

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.

The pitch probably played a part in the poor performances. Everyone seemed to take twice as long to do the simple things.

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

[DH1988 1,304]

Couldn't pass 5 yards today.

More like he has no right leg. He literally can't do anything with it

You're right, he was so fucking useless I reckon we should get Mikel to show him how it's done.

[Polo7 3,496]

I thought he was better than we have seen him in a long time.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

He was better defensively but his distribution was beyond shocking today. Not only that but he kept getting caught in possession because he was taking too much time on the ball. He's a great player but he won't ever be elite until he improves his passing.

[LAM09 6,777]

Played better than he has for several weeks. Was solid defensively.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Very good defensively, sloppy going forward though. Getting back to that level of his though.
