matic was completely lost in the field against man city. he knows how to do "gra gra" against smaller teams but keeps flopping against bigger opponents.

thankGod mourinho is now discovering his incompetence towards football by naming him amongst the disappointing players.

WizyTechs:
Like seriously, are your a learner?

postulate you assertions to vindicate him(matic), and rescind asking comical questions

Mikel better than Matic? That is the joke of the century.

OP u get sense so? Matic is far better of Mikel in all ramifications

Truth be told, Nigeria has produced many brilliant players over the years; the likes of Kanu Nwankwo, Sunday Oliseh, Jay-Jay Okocha, Daniel Amokachi and Finidi George. But perhaps none of these icons have consistently the success that Mikel has whilst featuring in Chelsea’s route to major honours.

Permit me to ask here that if ‘the Catalyst’ is as bad as many suggest, why has he always won the hearts of managers who have been employed and thrown out of Stamford Bridge? Why has he not been shipped out to other teams like others considered as surplus to requirement in the Roman Army?

The naysayers would always forget that aside his defensive ability, he has been a fantastic asset when it comes to ball passing. His successful pass rate of 90.4 % in all competitions [ 87.5% in the Champions League and 90.7% on the domestic scene] is worthy of praise, especially when you compare with Mourinho’s preferred option Matic’s 87.1%.

Let’s make no mistake about it, Mikel is a living legend of the game and his never say die attitude must be commended.

Any way it is looked at, his achievement is prodigious – and remarkably it is getting better. To suggest he is overprized is impertinent, naïve and simply laughable.

Africa’s unsung hero

You need to understand and appreciate the tactical aspects of football matches and not take it at face value so you will be able to see tactical wars ongoing.

Matic was detailed to render the treachery of David Silver void. Jose is a man I appreciate his tactical aspect and I make out time to watch all his games any club he elects to coach. He is yet to build his ideal man-machines at chelsea. Defence is messing his tactical brilliance up.
