Matic. Wow. I knew he was a good player but I didn't know he was that good. His composure on the ball was excellent, he reads the game so well. He will be a massive miss for Chelsea this year and a massive plus for me.

It's early days but nobody will fancy it against us on that showing. I still feel we need a wide player, everything goes central and today it's worked but against better teams we will need someone to hug the line and give us that wider dimension to pull players out. Enter peresic.

Really surprised at this narrative that people didn't realize how good matic was. All you have to do is sit down and watch a few Chelsea games to understand how great a player he is. I hope it puts the doubters to bed.

Chelsea fans must be fuming they allowed the board to sell.

To be honest angel in my opinion he wasn't as good as he was today at Chelsea. Seems he had a little more freedom today. That's the best I've seen him play, he was phenomenal. He freed up Pogba too which was also telling.

On a side note surely Martial keeps his place, when he came on Zableta must of died a little inside. "Rashford to martial, give me a break". That said I'm not sure who you drop!

Well you should really go back and watch him. He didn't just miraculously become a great player today. He has been that good for Chelsea.

Angel I've seen plenty of him and in my opinion he was better today. Like I say just my two cents.

Angel. No one is saying he wasn't great for Chelsea, but in the dozens and dozens of matches I've watched him play, that was his best passing performance. It was like watching a Pirlo stuck in a 6'4" body. His long passing out wide was great, but I lost track of the number of times he slid little delicate passes into space in midfield to create chances, like mini-counterattacks with Pogba, Mata or Mickey driving at the defense with multiple options around them. Best I've ever seen matic, and that's not an insult to his time at Chelsea.
