Nemanja Matic

[zyzz 711]

The human vacuum cleaner

[DavidEU 2,023]

Passing was a bit wayward at times today, but the vast improvement is easy to see. Encouraging.

[JDY 1,290]

Pure domination. The body feint in the second half and quick pass to Oscar for Schuerrle's chance was so classy.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Top guy. Especialy for the first full game, he was surprisingly calm.

As said, this transfer was realy brilliant one.

I said it before, but he is quality. Believe me. The only question mark I have about Matic is his fitness. Whenever I see him play for Benfica, he seemed to get noticeably tired as the match progresses and against Stoke, you could tell he had tired legs.

Great game - impressed

[Special Juan 27,092]

Immense, just immense today.

He's that big the number on his back looks small

[AndersonBLUE 819]

What a figure to have. Completely bossed the game. A few heavy passes but for his first game back, he played like he's been with this team all season. So calm and confident.

Interesting D. I never thought about this , really.

Really classy performance from him. So calm on and off the ball. Often see him jogging to almost a walking pace and then he bursts with his long legs to make an interception or tackle. Great anticipation. We just needs another one of him!

[Berke 58]

Very calm, composed. Won the ball and shifted it. That little dummy in the second half and pass to Oscar for Schurlle's chance was exquisite. Welcome Matic!

[Excalibur KTBFFH 109]

Makes Mikel look mediocre.

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Get the ball and release. No nonsense for from him. A very good and assuring performance. Good times ahead.

Well, I can tell you that most portuguese pitches are utter shit, he probably wasn't used to this quality anymore lol.

Thank god, I thought I need a new pair of specs. That "21" looks tiny!

[JDY 1,290]

Mourinho has apparently likened him to 'a spider'. You can certainly see why, quick to tackle and intercept anything and even balls that seem out of reach.

[laeth 527]

Was awesome today, very impressive full debut .

Makes Mikel look mediocre.

Mikel does a good job on that by himself.

He is always looking to pass the ball forward unlike Mikel who seems to love our defenders.
