Nemanja Matic

[Ollie 4,400]

Guys ... (and girls) we finally have a proper CDM. Brilliant today in a perfect game for him to show us what he's got. So confident about the future, this is the most excited i've been about Chelsea since Roman took over. Seriously.

Fucking fantastic,Just get a distributor alongside this guy and our midfield is set for 4-5 years.

Solid performance and easy to see why he will be an important player.

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.

He was called "the Spider" by Benfica fans. I think we really should pick up on that name as it sounds so cool. Either that or auto-Matic. Haven't been this stoked about a signing since Hazard.

Matic v Yaya next week will be a great battle!

Yup. He is a monster and a very cool one!

His distribution was a thing of beauty today.

Haha brilliant!

Not a bad debut eh? Really like his neat and tidy-ness on the ball. Received and passed it quickly and has a good range as well.

Makes Mikel look mediocre.

It was only a matter of time before Mikel's name is mentioned. predictable.

[lionsden 4,689]

His calmness and composure on the ball is the most impressive aspect of his game for me. good all round performance.

[Hamilton 2,118]

Great first game, really looked like he was the missing link in midfield, keep it up!

[The only place to be 11,313]

Absolutely fantastic full debut and just a massive presence. Does the simple stuff efficiently and speedily, but also isn't afraid to take the ball on himself and go at players.

It was only a matter of time before Mikel's name is mentioned. predictable.

Well he's the guy he's competing with/replacing in that position so comparisons are absolutely inevitable and unfortunately for John Obi Mikel, a lot of the things people don't like in his game don't seem to be issues with Matic.

very confident of his left foot, the pass to ramires is just insane. imagine we have Matic - Modric'esque pivot in next season. but who's young talented player close to modric skill?

May be someone like Marco Verratti, if Josh improves, he could be suited for that role too

I still hope that MVG will play a big role for us btw

May be Thorgan could have a good shot there

Enzo Perez, he is not similiar to Modric, more like Ramires, but I think even better. He's currently my favorite Benfica player, after the exit of Matic. He's superb. Him and Matic made a perfect duo.
