Is Nemaja Matic Better Than Mikel Obi

Please what's your opinion

For me chelsea has already destroy mikel carrier..after deploying him to holding role DM,still they are complaining that our mikel is too slow..

Mikel is no longer chelsea first choice new boy Matic is far better than him in the holding role..his pass accuracy.he is strong and fast well..while mikel is too slow on the ball

Matic against stoke

Matic was put into the first-team at Stamford Bridge -sitting alongside Frank Lampard in the two more protective midfield positions. Matic immediately looked the part.

Up against physical players such as Stephen N’Zonzi and Wilson Palacios he more than met them for physical prowess throughout the game.
But on top of that he also showed a turn of pace and ground coverage you would never see from John Obi Mikel.

Matic was all over the pitch and demonstrated why they call him ‘The Spider’ with a few reaching tackles that left Stephen Ireland and Marko Arnautovic particulary bemused.

The performance of Oscar ahead of him perhaps distracted from his display - but the stats did not lie. His 89% pass accuracy bettered Lampard and Oscar’s and was one of the best on the field - while his tally of five tackles was the most put in by a Chelsea player.

It was not a perfect performance. His positional sense will come in time - but he was on occasions caught square in the middle of the park.
That will develop as he becomes used to playing alongside his central midfield partner, likely to be Ramires and not Lampard

Matic all the way for me.

So Nairalanders, over to you. . .Who is better, Matic or Mikel
