What's the point of Mikel?What's the point of playing Cahill?What's the point of playing Ake in FA Cup semi.Matic scored a quality goal last week and now some people want him gone.Also we made a mistake in selling Ivanovic.

I thought Matic was actually better than Kante today. However, it was a lot to do with how little pressure Everton gave him when he was on the ball.
Overall today, it seemed obvious we needed some creativity in midfield. It is too easy for clubs to focus on marking Hazard, there needs to be some more creative danger.
I also thought he was very good today.
I don't think Matic was good today. I can't remember him winning any second ball today. that's why they were just cutting through our midfield.
In the first half, Matic is pretty average, but no worse than Kante was. He picket up on the second half though

I recall you posting something questioning Kante's value to the team a few months back!
I replied saying he is a one man wrecking ball and you questioned his ability on the ball, he's just won player of the season....

I never questioned Kante's value. I said for all his good qualities, he still got some weakness. It was a constructive criticism

WOW..Still blaming Mikel even after he's gone? Obviously you never really liked him regardless of how he performed
Matic is worse than MIkel ever was, fkin dire
Matic played well today. Just don't see the point of this thread after winning well in what was supposedly our hardest remaining fixture.
He made Pedros goal with the run...

Average limited player. He used to be great but gone through a Torresification and can't do anything anymore (apart from amazing goal last week). He's only in the team because he won't leave holes in midfield. Need to replace him with Verratti or Naingollan.
He means he has turned into a flop for Chelsea.Still much better than Darren Fletcher or even Anderson in midfield for Chelsea.Also we shouldn't have let Ryan Bertrand or Patrick vanAanholt for Chelsea.
Matic was great in his first season back and has been much better this season than last. Conte obviously feels Cesc is neither disciplined enough nor effective enough to break up play. Cesc is my favourite player but you either have to play a system to accommodate him or Luiz. Luiz needs to be one of a three and Cesc needs to be one of a three - this season, Luiz is more important but Cesc's attitude and contribution to the team have been first class.

You had me ...right up until the ivan bit
We could play Chalobah or Ake or even Zouma instead...AC chooses not to and use Matic...I ain't questioning him
If we could find a player who has the qualities of both Matic and Fabregas we would have a great player. However, Conte can only play with the players we have available - and Fabregas is too weak defensively to use in a central 2 against stronger opponents.
Everton away is very tough - and the fact that they had very few chances in the game was testament to how hard Kante and Matic worked. They are disciplined and hard working, and made it difficult for Everton to create anything. Fabregas, for all his creative abilities going forwards, is a liability when defending.
Why would you want to drop Matic after he helped us to a 3-0 away win against a very strong team? Bizarre.
