The Skipper 20,609 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Why should we be ,just watch a replay of the second half v Spurs and see who had the power, speed, and stamina, in the big game.So you're giving Lampard the credit for Ramires providing those aspects to our midfield in the 2nd half?

Phil Driver 503 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Yes they worked very well together.Did you see Rammy v Fulham? He was awful,there is a developing theme here.The word is,it is Rammy and Lampard tonight and even the Mikel fanboys can't argue with that after Spurs,can they?We need a win and sitting back letting the opposition dominate and create chances is not on the agenda.

You just have to look at the Everton game to see that what you're proclaiming is pretty much just fueled by your weird hatred/obsession with Mikel. Granted, we lost that game but we dominated and created enough chances to attain a comfortable win - and Mikel was one of the better players on that day. Everton have the highest possession average in the league yet we still dominated - so your theory doesn't quite add up. Besides - I thought Mourinho didn't rate Mikel and that Mikel would primarily be a bench player? What happened to that argument? hjperdeath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Flash 1,144 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 No-one is questioning his commitment, or his merits as a player. His value as an icon of the identity of this club goes without saying - which is why everyone wanted Lamps to stay.My remark concerns his current ability to carry a midfield, both qua power, speed, and stamina, and definitely in the big games. I don't think at his age, that he brings enough to midfield to compete with the big clubs. I hope you're not too embarrassed by that.I disagree, i think he brings more than enough, and his heart carries us the rest. I am sorry I just disagree.

Phil Driver 503 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I don't hate Mikel he seems a real nice guy,he is just a poor player,you fanboys may like him because he is a nice guy,but my only consideration is the effect he has on the pitch .When Lampard plays we score attack and win,when Mikel plays we defend concede and lose The_Flash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was such a poor player Essien would've played a lot more games and minutes than him this season. nachikethas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Driver 503 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 How to anchor and boss a midfield ,not just sitting back and plugging imaginary gaps of your own making aka Obi Mikel. Frank and Rammy our first choice midfield pair,confirmed . Class and legs and bite a great combi that compliment and take the game to the opposition and support our three properly ,backing the play up in tandem as well as recovering their position when we need to defend ,without one just sitting and holding hands with JT & co .

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Excellent finish for the goal. He needed that as his shooting has been a bit off lately.This is exactly the kind of games that Frank should be playing. The games where he can have the freedom to make as many forward runs as he wants and get a lot of space to find passes in midfield.

Phil Driver 503 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 He bossed the game last night with Rammy ,this midfield combination is perfect and left the lauded Spurs midfield fighting for breath.Class and energy ,this is Jose's first choice now,performances have earned that .
