Nemanja Matic

Gonna check Touré's stats later, not too convinced about him not doing anything defensively.

He is a Box-To-Box Midfielder. He defends but he isn't a Defensive Midfielder like Mascherano, Javi Martinez or Lars Bender.

[ParNolio7 285]

Fine then, put him under "Terrifying Midfielder"

Okay, you're right defensive contribution well below average. Point taken

Matic> Fernandinho

No, Mascherano is a CB

[ParNolio7 285]

No, Mascherano is a CB

indeed! and who is this "arse bender" guy anyway??

[Spike 12,049]

No, Mascherano is a CB

Only at Barcelona can the best DM in the world become a sub-par CB.

The man almost single-handedly stopped Germany in midfield in the WC final.

Not that I'd want to face a Barca with proper CBs and players actually playing in their rightful positions...

Everyone says we and Real ruin players, but look at Barca. Chigrinsky, Afellay, Ibra, Sanchez, Cesc, Song, Masch, hell even Pique got ''rejected'' in recent years from that club...

Excellent performance. Bar the penalty he gave away, he was perfection. Constantly disrupted their attacks, defended effectively both high up the pitch and in deeper positions. He was very calm in possession, drove forward with the ball on more than a couple of occasions, exhibited intelligent passing.

He was just amazing. Absolutely love the guy.

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

It just wasn't fair, it honestly wasn't. Monster.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Best CDM in the world. What a game from him today.

[TheOneChan95 225]

What a monster he was today

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Just brilliant. Hands down the best DM in the world.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Thought he was our best player in field, top performance.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

"Matic, in the middle of our pitch, Matic..."

[LAB 1,030]

Another great performance yesterday. Very thankful for having him.

[DH1988 1,194]

When he out muscled Felliani I thought "Beast." then he lost it to Felliani -_-" lol

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

I want this in a blue jersey
