Matic criticised by fans on Twitter after Chelsea’s draw at Watford

Many Chelsea fans on Twitter were scathing in their criticism of Nemanja Matic after the 0-0 draw at Watford.

Matic was outstanding for the Blues last season but his poor form this term continued at Vicarage Road.

Many fans believe the Serbian’s midfield partnership with John Mikel Obi does not work and that Eden Hazard should have been brought on earlier in the match.

Matic-Mikel… Both liabilities, both casually jogging around,both 5 yards too slow & both only play passes that put others in trouble #cfc

Matic takes too many touches to turn. Sometimes 4,5,6 touches of the ball to go forward. Too slow with the front players we have #cfc

Matic didn’t start. He was just on the pitch #CFC #RAT

If Hazard had replaced Matic earlier, we would have won this game. #CFC

Matic has totally not improved after his first season back, he has gotten worse… Just won’t cut it with his lousy style and drag. #CFC

i’ve got to confess,pathetic play today.We needed Hazard from the start.Matic’s season is long gone.#CFC

What’s Hiddink thinking?! Hazard should of started! And Matic off instead of Mikel?! Seriously! #CFC

And the coach should have removed that one legged matic at half time. #CFC

How bad is Matic this season though? 😐 #CFC

We got to sell Matic to a Chinese club. #cfc

Sell Oscar to Juve. Bring in Barkley. Sell Matic to whoever wants him bring in Alli. Sell Costa and bring in Benzema.

We should terminate the contract of Matic asap

@ChelseaFC I wish Guss would stop paring Matic and Fabrgas there would be winning for Chelsea. Also the late sub for hazard inhibit CFC win.

— Igemokha Andrew (@Freemanluvu) February 4, 2016

Chelsea would have won the had Guss Made the right sub earlier. Using Matic till finish isn’t the good choice for winning the game.

Matic has been so bad, but it’s obvious his focus is elsewhere. Doesn’t seem too bothered to be on the pitch

— The Bridge (@finest_london) February 4, 2016

@ChelseaFC Both Mikel & Matic can not play together if you want to win a game. It is either Mikel/Fabregas or Matic/Fabregas.

Many Chelsea supporters are convinced youngster Ruben Loftus-Cheek deserves a run in the side instead of Matic.

how poor was Matic tonight ? Would have lost nothing starting with RLC #cfc #matic

@Chelseafc #Disappointed Poor team selection and misplaced tactics.Baba and Azpi at the back.Loftus Cheek NOT Matic #cfc #ktbffh #cfcfamily

— MUREHWA (@carryn_mdumani) February 3, 2016

When will Hiddink realize that RLC is a much better option than Matic in that midfield. Our midfield was kinda just static tonight. #CFC

— Phemmy ‘Dare (@PhemmyBest) February 3, 2016

@ChelseaFC how Oscar is getting in ahead of kenedy, and matic is playing instead of RLC is beyond me #CFC

— Josh Dixon (@JADixon94) February 3, 2016

Mikel and Matic not at their best, would have liked to see RLC given 45. #CFC

— Mark Bonner (@1968bonner) February 3, 2016

I would drop Matic start Rubén on Sunday. #cfc
