Nemanja Matic

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Another ok/average game. In fact cannot even remember when was the last time he put in a commanding performance, must have been over 3 months ago. He, like Fabregas and almost the whole team have not been themselves for a long time now.

I think now we will win the title he can take the foot off the peddle a bit and have a rest, next season he needs to get back to his top form.

He's looking weary which is understandable. It's his first full season in England and dealing with the intensity of every match and the reality of no winter break must be difficult for him.

He was all over the place at times. His lack of stamina takes its tolls. A proper back-up to Matic is another position on the pretty long list now of necessary upgrades in the future.

The most concerning thing is, he's been getting drawn out of position too easily. Teams are just walking through our midfield and our defence has been left hopelessly exposed, even more exposed when we have the likes of Ivanovic, Cahill and even Terry in defence.

If Matic is average, the team (and most importantly the defence) becomes average. I felt so much safer when Zouma came on. The previous time we experienced it with Ramires.

We need Mikel back to give this guy some breathing space to recover.

I think our form since Mikel got injured means he will not be sold in summer

I could be wrong, but I think Matic covers the most ground in the PL. If not the most, he's definitely up there at the top of the list. It's not a stamina issue. I think he's either overplayed, or he's covering too much ground. As in doing too much. We have a saying here, it's not about moving a lot, it's about moving enough.

Either way, Matic does not look fit and sharp and that's a problem. But he's definitely not the only one.

I hope i wasn't the only cynic with their heart in mouth thinking he'd been injured after seeing his name trending on Twitter

It's also the same end he scored that goal against Porto for which he was nominated for Puskas Award
