tbf, people would have expected that from you. You still think Obi Mikel is not a shit footballer.

Mikel exiled from starting positions and we are once again dominating the league. Who would have thought? Stop championing him for not creating a problem about not getting playing time. He knows his level and bargaining power.

A major reason behind our solid start to the season. LEGEND

Looks like Mourinho is saving Obi Mikel for the start of the season.

This is getting like arguing with Liverpool supporters about their title chances. Season after season, they build up their chances, claiming to be front runners for titles and then once actual football starts........ Mikel is praised to skies every season and then the manager shows him his rightful position on the bench......

Do you think he should be in the same wage bracket as Terry, Hazard, Costa etc?

What a joke. Mikel is paid more than Oscar. When you are starting just 2 out of 15 games, you are NOT an established player. and please stop with jokes like MOTM performance is CL semifinal.

He started 2 out of 15 PL games after we signed Matic. Sure shows how highly he is rated by his manager. A self respecting player would have got the hint and tried to move but Mikel knows his salary demands won't be met elsewhere. and THAT is why he is staying.

Did I read someone make the argument that if we could find a buyer for David Luiz, we won't have any trouble finding one for Mikel? Bloody hell. How delusional are you guys? David Luiz was bought for 50 million. He was a hot commodity in the market. Before last season as well, people were coming up with things like "Mourinho values Mikel", "Mikel will be the number one name on our team sheet", "Mikel is the top CDM in the world" etc etc. He started less than one third games in Premier League last season. We bought a midfielder who was cup tied for champions league in january window to replace the "2nd best young player after messi in 2006". If that does not show how Mourinho rates Mikel then I am afraid these posters here should seek some medical help.

Has been leeching off the club for a long time now. and no one is going to buy him. He should thank his stars for his personal relationship with Emanalo.

No team ia stupid enough to buy him. He is just gonna free ride at our club for the next 3 years thanks to his compatriot Emanalo.

No surprise we came right back into the game after he was subbed off. Proper 11 vs 11 game and we scored 2 goals within 5 minutes.

He is not leaving. Other clubs dont have his friend enamolo who will hand him bumper contracts.

Mikel being one card away from suspension does not seem to be the reason he wasnt played yesterday, if one goes by the way Jose has trusted him this season. But fanbois can always make up stuff to stay cozy in their delusions.

The most critical player in our title run in.

9 starts in 28 PL games this season. The fewer times he turns up on the pitch, our chances of winning a trophy increase.

Awkward?

Will mooch off the club for the balance years of his contract now.

Mikel was man of the match vs everton? You mean when he chickened out from putting in a tackle on osman and they punished us with a goal? Wierd people over here.

Je wasnt first choice under Benitez. He wasnt first choice under avb. He is not the first choice under mourinho. You are wrong on facts only.

Embarrassing posts on the last page by choulo19 and skipper. But hey, still not as embarrassing as Obi Mikel's performances.

You see his name on the team sheet and get the expected result. Cant beat him on consistency.

A 10 minute cameo was enough to spoil our entire game plan. Should have rather played with 10 men than bring him on.

9 starts in 25 league games now for the only 'DM' in our team.

Does it hurt?
