JOSE MOURINHO: FORGET MATIC The only real negative aspect of the fine 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur was the yellow card that Nemanja Matic picked up. Being the fifth one that Matic has picked up this season, it means the influential defensive midfielder will be absent from the squad that travels to Newcastle for yet another crucial fixture this weekend. However, one man does not make a team (although we have to admit he is a vital cog in the blue juggernaut) and talking to the media after the fine victory Jose Mourinho played down his absence remarking. It`s no problem, we`ll just play another one, like we did with Diego Costa suspended here. Do you remember Diego Costa today? I didn`t. Obviously Matic is playing fantastically well for us. But that`s the way to think. To forget him. Ruthless some might say, whilst others would see it as the logical way to go. However, one big question remains, who`ll fill the void this coming weekend? Will Mourinho move Cesc Fabregas back into the hole or will it be a chance for John Obi Mikel to emerge from the shadows and re-establish himself? Your thoughts on the subject matter would be most welcome.
