Matuidi offers limitless runnings. But once the ball gets to his feet, he does not know how to control it and often lose it to opponents, while he looked around wide-eyed and with his mouth opened as if to take in an invisible anaconda.

Jokes aside, Matuidi’s energy is beneficial to us, in terms of hustling opponents and I think he can continue to do so for another two years.
What I don’t get is why is Allegri trying to get him into attacking positions. Matuidi is obviously the kind of player who wins the ball in midfield, and then passes the ball to a more creative player. We currently lacks that guy for him to pass to. Hence, this situation often makes him look bad. And eat unfair criticism from fans
