lionsden 4,689 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I am sure Carlo used him or twice as a DMC :unsure:Maybe i was wrong, but still, we need a creative midfeilder and one young DMC midfielder.Yes Ancelotti used Essien and Ramires in DM interchangeably during mikel's injury absence and yes we do need a creative midfielder, not so sure about another DMC though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace. 4,352 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 NoooooooooooooooooAnd that's a cry from my heart...Why buy another midfielder "defensive-minded" ?? In my honest opinion, the two we already have are enough. We should take profit of the situation, and fill the spot Essien leaves empty by someone who is another type of player. I mean we should replace him with a footballer (ie a guy who can make passes and has skill), not another beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Benny----Mikel/Ramires----Lampard/Josh.We don't need Tiote as much as i love him for that epic goal against Arsanal what we need is a Modric/Moutinho/Pastore that can slot in on that right side of midfield imo.

This is just embarrassing. Whats even more funny is that you probably think Mikel is a footballer with skills and stuff. And when someone would say about Mikel something like what yousaid about Essien, the whole forum would freak out. This forum is a MESS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This forum is a MESS somtimes.It's a valid opinion.I mean why do we really need another DM? Mikel, McEachran, maybe Luiz can all play there. Especially if it's for 6 months only, waste of money and priority should be in more advanced positions. RW/LW/CM/CAM. P.S. Mikel has much more creativity and better passing ability than Essien does, they're different types of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikel is more creative? when did he do something creative? :mellow: I didnt saw many good passes from Mikel in the dangerous areas, its always in the center of the field, when the pressure is very low. He doesnt pass the ball formore then a range of 5-7 feet. You can noticed that easily. I even remmember a game that he set up a goal from a long range pass, realy nice pass tbh, and everybodyjumed on him after the goal. You see, its very rare that he do something like that. Its redicilous, Essien on the other hand set up many goals for the strikers in his Chelsea carreer.I cant understand where do you see this creativity from Mikel. He has a nice touch on the ball, that doesnt say he's creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I wanted to mean, is that we don't need another player whom the game is based on physical and athletic abilties. We just don't need someone who when you think about him, the first thing coming to your mind is "he is a beast !", but "he has a nice passing game". For example, what do you think when ou think about Essien ? "He is the bison", aren't you ? That means his physical abilities are more important to his game than his skill, or at least seem to people eyes to be more important. When thinking about Xavi Hernandez, the first thing coming in mind is his marvelous passing game.That is plane as that... Try to understand what is behind words.PS : Mikel has skill.

He has a nice touch on the ball, that doesnt say he's creative.Not at all, like what has just been said Essien is known for his physical abilities more then defence splitting passes, he's obviously a good passer too but it's not his speciality.The reason you see that from Mikel is because we limit him, we treat him as a defensive midfielder instead of a deep-lying playmaker which is what he should be. Essien has more chances to set up a pass because he's in the final third so much more then Mikel is allowed. Also it's to do with his perceived importance in the team. He's never always going to start, managers unfairly never give him a good run of games and when he finally does he's incredible (last season first half). Because of that he would look to make less mistakes, and play simple rather than defence splitting passes all the time. With the right management and a good run in the starting 11 I honestly believe Mikel can be one of the, if not the greatest DM in the world in the next two years, he has all the qualities and he's still only 24. Also, his passing percentage and short passes controls the game and the tempo to our suiting of a slower build up, he's integral to our system and maybe with a more attacking system now, next season you'll see him given more trust and freedom to create like he can.
