Jase 43,479 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Not a bad debut eh? Really like his neat and tidy-ness on the ball. Received and passed it quickly and has a good range as well. sdrcfc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! lionsden 4,689 Posted January 26, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted January 26, 2014 Makes Mikel look mediocre. It was only a matter of time before Mikel's name is mentioned. predictable.

lionsden 4,689 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 His calmness and composure on the ball is the most impressive aspect of his game for me. good all round performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton 2,120 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Great first game, really looked like he was the missing link in midfield, keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Absolutely fantastic full debut and just a massive presence. Does the simple stuff efficiently and speedily, but also isn't afraid to take the ball on himself and go at players. It was only a matter of time before Mikel's name is mentioned. predictable.Well he's the guy he's competing with/replacing in that position so comparisons are absolutely inevitable and unfortunately for John Obi Mikel, a lot of the things people don't like in his game don't seem to be issues with Matic.

blu35_army 551 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 very confident of his left foot, the pass to ramires is just insane. imagine we have Matic - Modric'esque pivot in next season. but who's young talented player close to modric skill?

Wolfe_21 21 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Enzo Perez, he is not similiar to Modric, more like Ramires, but I think even better. He's currently my favorite Benfica player, after the exit of Matic. He's superb. Him and Matic made a perfect duo. José Mateus and Sheva. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I think he had a solid game today but don't know why people are saying he was immense... That was just an average Matic game, we haven't seen him at his best yet. sdrcfc, mannyfreshh, CHOULO19 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannyfreshh 164 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Matic was good today.. Let's hope he continues to play well during league play .. Matic + Vidal next year??? sdrcfc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky 739 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I like what I saw, a big presence that can defend and distribute the ball well. Has good technique and very comfortable on the ball andl he will try take on players when necessary.We should be playing Lampard more next to Matic.. mannyfreshh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Shit, so this is what we've been missing these last few years. He was boss in midfield. So mobile, athletic and a good forward passer to top it off. Can't wait to see him get comfortable with our team. Very, very promising. mannyfreshh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 He had a good debut. Thought our midfield was a bit on the slow side though; you could see that in quick transitions, only the AMs and Eto were involved. Neither Lamps nor Matic joined them. * watched recording so could pay attention to those things. Still rely heavily on Ramires to do the B2B thingy, or perhaps MVG once he'd back. Don't think Lamps has the legs for that any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Share Posted January 27, 2014 It was only a matter of time before Mikel's name is mentioned. predictable.Maybe because he's the guy in direct competition with Matic for a place in the XI?

lionsden 4,689 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Maybe because he's the guy in direct competition with Matic for a place in the XI? We all know there's a clear agenda against Mikel and he's been the most divisive player on every Chelsea forum for years. His critics never miss the opportunity to lay into him and Excalibur KTBFFH snide comment reflected that. Mikel never stood a chance as It was never going to be a fair and objective comparison from the get go. Sir Mikel OBE and Gilvorak 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
