Nemanja Matic

[Waterfall 893]

Away from the field of play, Matic is gradually

finding his feet back in the capital, with one

team-mate in particular playing a pivotal role in enabling him to settle.

Oh shoot, I hope his wife doesn't go into labour on the day we lift the trophy.

Bvb is realy average this year, results wise. Such a downgrade from last year imo. I guess due to injuries and Gotze departure...

I think it is more because of injury more than Gotze, at one time they lost their whole back line, it is just crazy.

The also lost kuba and gundogan. If you have thin squad like dortmund losing that many players will weaken your team.

Imagine if we lose iva,terry,cahiil.azpi

and we have to play

Big game for him today against City. Jose HAS to start him from the beginning.

[We Hate Scouse 10,291]

What a game.

That strike left me utterly stunned. Well deserved MOTM.

For years we've measured any midfield target against King fucking Kong Toure.

Finally we've got him. Beast of a player, fantastic distribution and that shot against the post was superb. Bargain.

You fucking beast I love you!

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Where are the people who were claiming he wasn't needed and Yaya was a better defender? Bargain of the fucking century, £19m is nothing.

In terms of pure talent he's easily the best DM in the World. He can do it all.

Yeah, but I also think that had he stayed at Chelsea, he would have been lost due to all the managerial instability.

So people will say oh we bought him back, but who cares. It save his career, and now we got one hell of a player that wants to be here!

I said he was underpriced! What a buy he's been, fit faster and better than I thought. Things are slowly, but surely coming along.

He distributed Toure

BOSS!

[Clevemayer 764]

take a bow... take a bow...

finally freshining the Midfield up... temendeous from the 30th minute onwards... wonderfull...

[NishC300 1,865]

How often do midfielders have the chance to say they had Yaya Toure in the pocket? Especially on their 1st ever start in the PL?

Matic

[Weckerz 3,781]

Was so impressed with this guy, I didn't really know him at all before he came but he has totally won me over... The Spider is spot on for a nickname, those long strides but with really good control and grace, very decent distribution as well and that shot...

This might be one of the best buys in years.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

What a bargain :blue scalf: !How did Benfica let him go so cheaply that too in January

[Moustradamus 60]

Matic is a gift from heaven. He kept Yaya on his pocket the whole game. Love him already.

[Excalibur KTBFFH 109]

Like I said, no signing has excited me more than Nemanja since Hazard. Bossed the midfield and ate Yaya alive today. World Class.
