Nemanja Matic

[zolayes 14,489]

a much better game today

Him and Dave were our best performers today

He might be prone to errors against the lesser teams, but he is a monster when it comes to big games. Another massive performance, a three man midfield of Matic, Cesc and a Vidal-esque type of player (or Pogba) would be fantastic.

Or just play like that.

Cesc-Matic

-----Mikel

That would give us more defensive stability in the midfield and because of the fact that we do not have any better box to box player,Matic has to play that role.Ramires was terrible in his defensive role.Did he make any successful tackles?^^

He's been good all season, he's just had to cover the errors of some of his teammates. He only looked better today because we refused to cross the halfway line.

[mikeholiday 209]

Think he was excellent. considering he battled against the burly yaya.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

No love for Nemanja yet, he was fantastic yet again as he always is. Bossed it. The talk about his slow start to the season was harsh and mostly due to having to adjust to the inclusion of an attack minded CM in our midfield in Fabregas.. Now that we've found some balance with Cesc, he's back to his super reliable self.

I love the way he carries the ball when a pass isn't available.

[Daniel1980 1,425]

Matic was brilliant today. Our midfield as a whole looked good and we didn't get dominated despite the pivot midfielders being constantly under pressure.

[Special Juan 27,439]

He looked a threat going forward ha ha

BEAST

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

We have three f***ing beast in our team, and two of them are Serbian. We should buy more players from Serbia

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

I love the way he carries the ball when a pass isn't available.

Agreed, Matic/Yaya/Pogba....their legs and strength are second to none. Absolute rocks, when their on the ball.

That disguised pass was insane. The fact somehow Rui Patricio read it further emphasizes just how good he was tonight.

[Myself 793]

Matic and Busquets are the best defensive mids in the world.

Matic and Busquets are the best defensive mids in the world.

Busquets's form for Barcelona has been pretty poor lately.

a few weeks ago you could have said the same thing about matic
