He's poor because he's not good enough, and that's that. You can go on about Michael Carrick and that, but Uniteds play is different to ours, there players stick to position and go up and down the pitch together. There's a reason every other club laughs at Mikel and says he's terrible, and only Chelsea fans are blinded by it such as yourself. Get rid that's all i can say, has no aggression, cannot read the game, always out of position, just a generally shit player. When i want a player who just sits there and just side passes the ball i will let you know... well actually i wont because who wants a shit player like that.
