Nemanja Matic

[Special Juan 27,422]

I will sum up this bloke tomorrow when the booze has gone from my head.

An immense performance - what a Giant; kept Yaya in his pocket for most of the match

[The Skipper 20,593]

Where are the people who were claiming he wasn't needed and Yaya was a better defender? Bargain of the fucking century, £19m is nothing.

In terms of pure talent he's easily the best DM in the World. He can do it all.

Lol, he shouldn't have been compared to Yaya to begin with, considering Yaya isn't even really a DM now to begin with. My argument was that Yaya wasn't a poor defender, not that he was a better pure DM than Matic.

Yaya is has a lot more finesse going forward (which was my original argument) but I'll easily admit as a DM Matic is better. He was phenomenal today and we haven't even seen the best of him IMO. They're different players.

Any gif/video of his strike? It was a beauty.

Found one:

Fuckin boss. I'm glad we signed him back. What a performance spirit and energy. No more bullying from toure

Maybe for once value for money signing? Kind of ironic that one of Benfica's best player eventually comes to us for a OK fee and impresses while load of other more epensive players but don't perform as well for bigger teams.

Matic worth easily 50M€, Benfica let him go for half is a mystery, even for Benfica fans, like me, the club probably needs money. Benfica has another world class player, his name is Enzo Perez, a box-to-box, kinda like Ramires, but better.

I said before that he was a bargain and I will say it again. This guy is best CM we could possibly get. He likes Chelsea and is also top player. Cant beat that.

Great game

WHAT A PERFORMANCE....take a bow ladies and gentlemen....here is the d new boss of midfield in PL....

R.I.P Toure!!!

[nyikolajevics 2,573]

Classy performance, decent playern. Guarin is a joke

[BlueLion. 21,491]

RIP Yaya.

[ricardosr 38]

Now you know why we were so angry...only 25M€ is a joke...

We sold Di Maria for 35M€ and Coentrão for 30M€...

[didierforever 7,349]

he is exactly the player we had needed. he is goin to be massive for us!!!

[NotAPlasticClubFan 0]

What he did tonight night is nothing compared to what he can do. Your club really didn't deserve this player, but it seems that Matic doesn't have much self love. Well. Enjoy it.

19M by Matic, which is a World Class player is nothing, especially in the January market. By the way you really should get a decent striker. We can sell Lima, enjoy the discounts that the liar of our president is doing. 15 M€. it's a bargain!

[jasonlol 154]

I really hope he can reach fellani's level....

[milka 3,344]

Matic is a fantastic

[mediator 2,026]

Angry Benfica fans seem to forget they got him for free or almost, so 19M£ is a fair price no ?

[The_Flash 1,144]

I was slightly dubious of him starting this game but the lad did really well. He was not scared of City he stood strong and almost got a cracking goal
