Yeah he deserves the praise for that performanceI've been skeptical of him for getting praises in matches where he didn't perform but today he was brilliant. Long may it continue.

Hopefully, man. Although I doubt he'll come cheap, or even available/exist out there.Hopefully we are scouting a few at the moment ready to bring one in this summer
Not as far as I'm aware. I don't think he'd have played against Liverpool anyway, I think we'll go for the McTominay and Fred double pivot in that one.great performance from Matic, hopefully his injury isn’t too bad? Looked like he was holding his groin at the end, has there been any update on this?
No idea and I agree totallyWhy does Ole refuse to bring him on to see out games?
With his aging legs he's made for the role, positionally brilliant and calm on the ball.
Game was crying put for him at 70 mins. I'm baffled.
I was surprised when Rashford got it at the end and who was the nearest player...none other than Matic!Why does Ole refuse to bring him on to see out games?

Making subs is still a massive puzzle our coaching staff is unable to solve. We seem to try our best to avoid making them.Why does Ole refuse to bring him on to see out games?

He would have been skinned. Matic is a liability.Why does Ole refuse to bring him on to see out games?

Like Fred and Mctominay do? Matic rarely gets skinned, too good at reading players.He would have been skinned. Matic is a liability.
Our recent great form has a lot to do with Matic not starting.Like Fred and Mctominay do? Matic rarely gets skinned, too good at reading players.
You might want to look at our clean sheet record with and without Matic.Our recent great form has a lot to do with Matic not starting.
I was screaming for him to come on, pissed me right off that we left it so lateWhy does Ole refuse to bring him on to see out games?

He is definitely going to start against Sheff utd.I've never been a big fan but he must be due a game in midweek.
Agree. McFred gives us intensity and platform to play emphatic attacking football but they cannot control tempo as well as Matic.Would have been more ideal than McTominay and really needs to be involved when we're trying to see out games.
One thing a midfield of Fred and McTominay lacks is composure and calm, but that's what Matic brings.
His composure and reading of the game is still severely underestimated, while the influence of his pace is severely overestimated.
And two more goals conceded.Once again, no surprise him playing less has coincided with our success.
Whats that then? Two more goals conceded and no contribution in attack?And two more goals conceded.
Good for you. You’re an idiot.Whats that then? Two more goals conceded and no contribution in attack?
Been saying it but he's one of the most useless players out there. He does some tidying up or cleaning up in a three man midfield against a crap side and you lot lose your calm.
Yup, it's what happens with every one of our mediocre players. They'll have one good game in 3 and people will keep referring to that in the next two they're shit in.I think I said it before, and I'll say it again. Sometimes wildly inconsistent players are just wildly inconsistent players and no amount of time will help them become substantially better. He is what we are seeing and I really think it's not enough.
Covered the defence well at times today, not least when we were broke on and he was the last man and made the tackle. Wasnt great but in terms of playing his role he was one of our better playersWhats that then? Two more goals conceded and no contribution in attack?
