I was speaking generally, I saw him not marking goalscorers more that accurate tackling. He's too slow

I'd put him before Ramires any day

Well all I can say is that closely looking at many of the goals we conceded last season, he miss-marked the goalscorer... And it happened to much. Him and Ramires together is too much IMO

OK guys... Mikel might be playing OK for the last 2 games, but last season he was terrible... I know other ppl saying the same, I don't think I'm blind I wish he was that good, would make life easier...

I don't think that in any role it's good to lose the ball and not mark your player 80 percent of the time.

Dude you must be joking...

I think that in my case it's more a Mikel thread, but hey... I just wanted a welcome

Hey all I'm new here... I have to say that something I've been complaining about for the last few years is the way that Kalou and Mikel still exist in our squad. I think Ramires is not always worth a starting lineup position, but at least he makes an effort. These 2 idiots just drive me nuts when I see them. I don't think AVB is blind so what's going on? I would put Sturridge instead of Kalou anyway, he really not anything special...can't they loan him to some team? And as for Mikel, words fail me. This guy was responsible for at least 30% of the goals we conceded last season, and yet he still plays for us. I don't see why we can't but a decent DMC (since Essien is out), such as Las Diarra or some other skilled butcher... And something else - When Piazon arrives we will have him, Lamps, Josh Mc and Mata all on the same spot. Not so wise I guess... Thoughts?
