He's done, the CDM version of Mata.
Nice comeback defending a player who has done nothing but cost us gamesGood for you. You’re an idiot.
If sheffield at home in a three man midfield is not the game for him what is?I dont blame him too much but that was not a game for him. When you have a player who loses the ball as much as Bruno, you need somebody much quicker and more aggressive to win it back quickly i.e Fred. Today was Matic of a couple of years ago.
I can’t be arsed debating with a person who’s first instinct is to point score after a defeat. Take your childish shite and bother somebody else with it.Nice comeback defending a player who has done nothing but cost us games
Because he rarely takes them on. Hiding in LCB or wherever he was of course he won't get skinned.Like Fred and Mctominay do? Matic rarely gets skinned, too good at reading players.
He wasn't playing and we were winning. I said that's the reason we are winning. You said it's not. Something happened that proved my point of view. That's childish now? Calling me an idiot is mature I suppose.I can’t be arsed debating with a person who’s first instinct is to point score after a defeat. Take your childish shite and bother somebody else with it.
Him and Pogba are simply not a good match, it's on Ole for selecting them both. I've no coaching experience but I'd never play them together as it's been proven so many times they don't work.I dont blame him too much but that was not a game for him.

Whilst he was shite tonight he a was actually last man 1 on 1 twice and didn’t get skinned, they were in fact his best moments of the match.Because he rarely takes them on. Hiding in LCB or wherever he was of course he won't get skinned.
Yet he played against Burnley and we won. So you were talking shite. You are an idiot and have displayed it countless times. Pointing that out isn’t childish.He wasn't playing and we were winning.

Neville called a halt after thatThat was his Gary Neville vs West Brom game. His legs are gone.
Alright. You're one of those. Defend a player before what's best for the club, so I'll leave it at that. Yes you calling me an idiot isn't childish but me pointing out Matic is and has been a liability is. Logic.Yet he played against Burnley and we won. So you were talking shite.

No, I just don’t let dislike for a player colour every opinion I have. Matic was shit tonight and crucial in a win just two weeks ago. Players have good game and bad games. No one individual is the reason we lose games. Your only posts tonight are all about Nemanja Matic, one of several shit performances on the night.Alright. You're one of those.

He simply doesn't work with Pogba as his midfield partner. He's a good back up if he's played alongside a more mobile and defensively clever partner.He was pretty poor but I feel there's massive overreaction here.
Still a good player to have in the squad.
To be fair, he was also poor on the away Sheffield United game. Can’t be called good player to have in the squad if you can’t perform against the same team of ranked 20th in two games. And also the only games he’s done well this season were RB Leipzig home, Southampton away, Everton EFL Cup and Burnley away. 4 games only in all comp is not good enough because it shows we don’t know whether he can perform or no when the manager plays him, need to be moved on and buy a new DM.He was pretty poor but I feel there's massive overreaction here.

Sitting here thinking he got another year. I had to go and look. 3 fecking years! He’ll be here until June 2023 because we won’t be able to sell him. Makes yesterday even worse. What are we doing?Renewing him instead of upgrading was one of our weirdest decisions of last summer. It was clear bar a few choice moments post lockdown that his days of dominating games at this level are over. This would have been the perfect time to get someone new in while we phase matic out but we’ve left it for another year.
when it comes to this stuff I really don’t know anymore. I hate the term protecting the asset but that’s what they say they are at. For sure we could have someone better who’s on the up for his wages but it looks like we didn’t want to stump up a fee or just let him leave on a free. We are down to one pretty ineffective player in a majorly important position in the team. Our engine room is way off when Fred doesn’t play but that’s for another thread. Rice is looking more appealing all the time. Pricey though.Sitting here thinking he got another year. I had to go and look. 3 fecking years!

Asset protection blah blah blahI agree here with what everyone is saying, he's past his prime, and is headed for the bench, so...
why on earth would Woodward sign a 32 year old Matic to three more years! It baffles the mind.
There's a move for him out there to shift his wages I think. Some team that sits deep and wants size and passing in a slower league, presumably Serie A.Neville called a halt after that
Matic has 18 months on his contract to run down
