Matic

Think people overrate him and wanyama. Good players but when they're up against an equally determined midfield they aren't special.

Disagree. Dembele is the best midfield player in the EPL and has been for sometime. Better than Kante IMO because he gives them a lot more creatively. Rarely loses the ball and is technically excellent. Him and Alli are their two best players.

Matic scored the goal of his life yesterday and what a game to do it in. But overall he is an extremely limited footballer and hasn't got an ounce of creativity or fantasy in him. We definitely need an upgrade for next season.

 
Stunning goal, however he was terrible yesterday again. Bar that goal he offered nothing. I really hope he slips to the bench next season and we bring in a better player. 

 
Apart from the height difference Fabregas would of been alot better. Chelsea played alot of long hopefully balls at some points in the game. Fabregas can play 1 touch passes, he can dictate how he plays to the situation he is in. Short or long if needed, can be pressured. Set pieces and creativity play.

With Matic it felt like 10 men all game then he suddenly ran of the bench to put one in the top corner. Then went back to the bench. Something that bothers me is Matic never seems to close down a cross, his like Mikel and doesn't have a fast run button.

Kante was a beast next to him, I literally don't know how he does it. He was everywhere.

I really hope the love of Matic doesn't mean Fabregas leaving.

Me too  ::ChELSeAFaN::  Being young in those days was painful specially when 95% of kids supported mainly Utd in the area I lived in the south of England. 

Remember Poyet's goals vs Newcastle in 2010? Both very nice finishes.

the guy is so underrated, i hardly ever hear pundits rave about him like they do Kante.

At first I wasn't a big fan. I thought he held onto the ball alot and looked alot like Matic does now tbh. I really think he has gone on to be a great midfielder. Him and Kante together would be brilliant.

One thing that gets me about Dembele is the amount of fouls he gets away with. I have never seen a midfielder push players out the way so much and get away with it. That Willian one was blatant.

Don't forget Lampard's free kick!

I thought the criticism Matic got was harsh, he did a good job covering for defenders, especially Ake who got caught out a few times. Without him our defence would have fallen apart.

Yeah done great spotting the danger of Erikson and closing him down for the 2nd goal. Just jogged around like his not with it.

 
Have some of that!

Absolute shadow of his former self.  May well be down to other teams figuring him out, but we need a better presence in midfield.

Terrific goal, thought his one against Everton was just as good though.

In terms of goals at Wembley, didn't Drogba score a ripper against Everton, some swiveling volley ?  Also, I know it was community shield, but I loved Lampard's pass to Shevchenko and that goal.

Matic had a good game even without that goal. Spurs scored two terrific goals but otherwise Courtois didn't have to make a save until injury time. Matic must take some of the credit for restricting their attack, no?

Not gonna lie i thought he was a bit of dead weight that game until the goal.
