Matic

I don't want this to turn into a Mikel debate because I do like Mikel, but I have to say that I think Matic might be one of the best (re)signings we have made in a while. The guy is massive and moves with some really decent pace. I can see how he can really control a game.

Impressed with how many times he broke up Stokes play and also the large area he worked. I'm sure his passing will improve more when he has had more games and gets to know the other players movements better. I would also like to see him with Ramires in the pivot.

 
Faded in the 2nd half but all round done some really good things. Could be a real good signing.

Watch. This. Space

thought his passing was great, played a couple of incisive balls, one of which resulted in schurrle hitting the post. Really promising debut, and I agree it will be awesome to see him with ramires.

 
I thought he was excellent today, even when having given the ball away near the end on the half way line he had the positional awareness to intercept the Stoke attack on the edge of the box. Looks a good acquisition in a position we have been short the last few years. A very solid debut.

 
His tackling and breaking up is good. Thought he switched off a couple of times though and didnt see people coming into him when he had the ball. Couple of poor passes....but he is still getting settled

 
superb debut. looked athletic, good on the ball... could prove to be a crucial signing for the rest of the season

 
I thought he was brilliant as well, hopefully he's the answer to our midfield troubles.  I can't wait to see him and Ramires up against City's midfield.

 
Thought he had a very good game today. Overhit a few passes early on which i put down to nerves, better to overhit than give too short hospital balls.

His breakup play and positional awareness was excellent and I dont think he give away a foul today which being his first game, keen to impress, i 

think showed good control.

 
Think I forgot to say welcome when he signed. How rude of me...

Anyway, welcome and well done, lad. A superb, steady game from you today. Hopefully the first of many.
