Playing like the guy Chelsea were happy to get rid of.
He was always likely to be a stopgap.

Looks uninspired and not hungry. We need Fabinho.
Learn what? I dont Know who you're a fan of, but Matic has lacked focus and hunger for 2-3 months now. Not good enough on this level. So yes, we need someone he can compete with.
We'll buy him and he will look shit in similar games.
Sorry, but when do you lot learn?
He's not Carrick's replacement I guess. He's more identical to Fletcher than Carrick, Matic and Fletcher like to roam while Carrick preferred to stay at the back and relies on his positioning. Carrick was the dictator, he was the one who build up our play when we didn't have Scholes anymore. Matic is replacing what LVG expected from Schneiderlin, Matic is replacing what Sir Alex expected from Jones midfielder & Cleverley. And if Jose really is sticking with 4231, the summer window is so obvious that we need to sign someone like Carrick.We needed someone to control the tempo of the game at times when spares players were pressing high, but he was helping them with many wrong passes and poor positioning the entire game.
Replacing him with Carick was the right thing to do, or at least I thought so.
What's all this kneejerk for. Not only you, suddenly after one game he's crap?Playing like the guy Chelsea were happy to get rid of.

In fairness, read back pages and you will see the reviews of his performances certainly post Christmas have been fairly consistent. I thought he was poor today and generally he's been what I expected, an upgrade on what we've had in midfield for a couple of years but not exceptional.What's all this kneejerk for.

Wait. 2 posts in this page by you is a complete kneejerk.
His performances has been decent and sometimes good. Certainly not the time to write stuff - I can see why Chelsea got rid of him and son on.In fairness, read back pages and you will see the reviews of his performances certainly post Christmas have been fairly consistent.

This!Needs help. Pogba isn't disciplined enough to assist him in a two man midfield.
He looked like a better version of Carrick up until December. Harsh statement imo.He is not a patch on Carrick of even 3 years ago.
Agree. He looks totally gassed the last month or so. Seems lethargic and is not able to track his runners properly. He needs some rest and Mourinho needs to understand that else it will unravel quickly for him.Pogba is the one getting slated once again and this guy - who hasn't really impressed since early season - gets a relatively free ride. Agendas eh.
Oh great.Will need replacing next summer.
dude, as has been said.....I think he is overworked and needs a break. Besides he was good at chelsea because he had Kante as well. Here he has to do all by himself.
Played 1 game in 15 days. Caf says he needs a rest.
Been the case for weeks. When we buy our next new toy then he'll start getting it.Pogba is the one getting slated once again and this guy - who hasn't really impressed since early season - gets a relatively free ride. Agendas eh.
