Never seen a more careless DM. Gives the ball away for fun.
In my honest opinion he's more of a deep lying playmaker than a DM at this point. His contribution defensively is next to nothing, but when he plays well he gets on the ball a lot and makes lots of passes at least. He didnt do that part either today... And I'm not saying he's a good deep lying playmaker, just that he doesnt actually do a defensive midfield job. He's more about his passing at this point.
He takes too many chances to be the deep lying playmaker. The sole reason why we play laborious football is because of him.
I hope we move him on in the summer.
He has a name. That's it. Riding off a reputation. People look at his CV and see 2 PL titles. Got carried by Fabregas and Kante and a passenger here for the majority of time.Matic has made himself undroppable for 4 different teams, twice under Mourinho. All the while being poor for large spells. He must be really good at following instructions.

Matic was fantastic January to January when he came back to Chelsea. Despite him not being as effective under Conte, he still wanted him to be a starter when he was sold. I suspect Matic's attitude and intelligence gets him on the pitch so often, managers can trust him to follow orders to a good level.
Ole could have easily subbed off Matic, yet he took off Herrera. Matic is a player that almost never gets substituted. I can say with confidence that something that fans cannot see leads to Matic being selected the way he does.
It's a bit of a recurring theme with Matic . He did very well when he first came back to Chelsea, then his form dropped. He did very well when he joined us, then his form dropped. He did very well when Ole took over, and now his form appears to be dropping again.Matic was fantastic January to January when he came back to Chelsea.
It's very worrying to me. I thought we were done with this shit.It's bit worrying that Ole seems to making the same mistakes as Mourinho did with Matic. Brought him back into the team as soon as he was considered to be fit, thrown back in, didn't look ready and doesn't get taken off even if he's stinking out the place like today. I really hope Ole is planning on replacing him this summer, we won't go far with him as a DM.
Why should we hurt ourselves by playing Matic? That's 2 defeat and 1 terrible game since his return to the team. Players on form should play not on reputations. He should be far away from the team presently.Matic is being played to help him regain some form. We'll need him in the big games next month. Same with the other players who were injured recently. There isn't much time till the first leg with Barca and we'll need our best players to hit some form again.
And with all of that, it won't be a surprise if he's one of our worst players in those games.Matic is being played to help him regain some form. We'll need him in the big games next month.

Tbf we're doomed no matter who we start against BarcelonaIf he plays vs Barcelona we are doomed.

Matic is now being made the scapegoat. This whole team is not good enough.
Scape goat? Nah he alongside pogba is responsible for poor midfield play and control. We are so bad at second balls and mobility and energy with them since many games now.
The whole team is not good enough. There are major holes in this team in every department.
The midfield shambles can not be blamed on whole team though. Midfeild is the heart and engine room of a football team, other areas doesn't affect so much as much as midfield does.
He's not a scapegoat. When we play well, he has an OK game at best, when we are poor, like we were yesterday, he is horrendous. The bloke adds nothing to the team and yet some relentlessly defend him. Blaming his dire performances on past injuries or tiredness has almost become a meme now.The whole team is not good enough. There are major holes in this team in every department.
