He's done for. Awful in the second-half and kept giving the ball the away ruining any chance we had of building from the back, he's a big part of the problem. Please, please sell him.

Fabinho was literally desperate to come here, but Woodward and mourinho neglected him to get this finished fellani replacement. :lol:

I told you guys about him back in October, hes done.
Honestly think he was like this towards end of last season. We've had two good spells out of him , when he first joined and when Ole first took over

When a club wants to get rid of the player it says it all. Alex Sandro could be another Matic if some transfer rumor is to be believed.

Just sell him, has become literally useless now. We are carrying so many players that are well past their best it is ridiculous.

Would love for that to have been his last game but he’ll be a regular next season. Could copy and paste that for plenty of players.

I really like matic as a footballer. He was once a great defensive midfielder. Exactly the type of player we need now when he was in his prime. But he’s not offered much in 18 months and he just can’t cover the ground he needs to anymore, never mind the fact he forgot how to pass the ball. Why he’s starting is probably the biggest mystery at the club at the moment, he just wanders around and gives the ball away.

Not this season
Yes, this season. He actually had some really good games this season, but last 2 months he is playing terrible. A bit clueless. Under Mourinho he has some bad games, everyone did... But he never looked clueless out there, like has been past 2 months.

Manchester Utd never lose, just run out of time

He was even worse in the first few months this season under Mourinho. If it weren't for Lukaku reaching a level of shitness never seen before, Matic would have been our worst player during that period. He did come good for about a month when Ole took over, but then his form dropped away again.

I actually didn't think Matic was 'that' bad today. My big take away from it was that, even though he wasn't great, we had a better balance in midfield while he was there. Once he went off we lost any ability to spread the play with any kind of structure.

This is the work of Mourinho. 1 year quick fix and ready for the scrapheap already.

He had played lot worse than today.

I said it quite a-lot before he signed and people had the audacity to say I was the clueless one :lol:

Anyone who watched him during his final few months at Chelsea could see he was well and truly on a steep decline. I’ve never been a huge fan of his as a player, and for me, he’s never come close to being a top player. He had what, maybe 2 really top quality seasons in his career. Proper Mourinho signing, this one.

That doesn't surprise me, when I suggested a replacement was needed for him I got told I was being emotional :rolleyes:

He had a very bad season. He is slow and doesnt add much to the game. I don’t feel he should be in Ole’s plans for next year. He wouldnt fit the style of play Ole is talking about. I felt Mctominay was better when deployed in that position

Him in our XI will be disaster. Unless if we got Kante next to him to help him & Pogba becomes as good as Kante in defending may be I’m okay to see him in XI. Too slow, poor positioning & ball watching, lack of awareness when off the ball.

I would be happy to never have to watch him in the shirt again. Unfortunately, I think I am asking for too much.

Feel like with Matic everytime he picks up a bit of form he gets run into the fecking ground. Manage his game better and we'll have a useful player on our hands imo.

I agree. Matic was played way too much. When used sparingly as opposed to playing every single game, he has shown himself to be a really good player.

The perfect example of him playing too much is each time he came back from injuries, he was thrown into games to finish them for 90m, I think we either lost or drew them (the 0-3 Spurs trashing is sure in my mind but there was another example of OGS that I can't remember)

At his age, he should not be rested as a 35 years old player. Carrick was playing every game at that age. Also he played 38 games the whole season. Its not about fatigue, its about not being consitent enough to be the main midfielder at Manchester United.
