He's so slow and lacking in hunger. That effort for Gylfi's goal. Couldn't close down a VHS rental store.
Slow, Immobile DM, rinse/repeat.
Ed Woodward "So,you're saying we should offer him a new contract ?"Off the pace (again).
Coaching staff should know what they are likely to get from Matic right now. Came back from injury against Arsenal away - looked off the pace. Wolves FA Cup slow in possession. Watford home - looked off the pace.
Just look at the way Sigurdson advanced towards goal. Matic just let him wander through and basically pick his spot. I’ve watched it about five times and still cannot quite believe why he didn’t even bother making a half hearted challenge never mind a full bloodied one.

Was expecting something like that after his performance today. To say he was dire would be an understatement.
A big mistake from the club signing him in the first place. Good player on his day but not right for us and too slow.
This is why we do not sign 29 year olds.
Yes, he is indeed too fecking old cause now we gotta replace him and he's barely done anything here.
Matic was a good signing based on the role he would play in a system. He has shown under both Mou and Conte that he is a good defensive system DM. If we try to play an expansive game where Matic has to move up and down the pitch then he is completely shown up. Playing as a lone DM exposes his limitations, he's not suited for it.
His options at DM and re pretty limited to be fair.Seems most of the forum can see how bad this guy is now, the worrying thing is how Ole can't and lets him stroll back into the team.
