John Obi Mikel

[the wes 7,212]

does anybody know when John Obi Mikel is back against portsmouth he was brilliant??

Over the last two seasons we havnt seen him at his best and for some reason i think this is gonna be this season we'll see it

[Badboy 1,526]

Great player i think he is vital to our team now.

[Aesthetic Relic 301]

I think I read somewhere he'll be back for the Citeh game.

[Guest Lampards Bitch]

He is a bit hit and miss for me still. Some days he has a blinder of a game then the next game he is awful. He lacks consistancy. But I think he should get in to a groove now that Maka has gone.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Spot on, the reason why he wasn't performing consistently is because he never really got a clean run in the side with Makelele and Essien also playing there under JM and Grant. This season he'll play far more often.

I hope he will be able to calm his temper because he tends to take red cards easily...

[Elliott 7]

Half the red cards Mikel's received have been bullshit.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Agreed. Although he is quite hot-headed, and picks up silly yellow cards - you can tell Maka has given him advice on that front I think without Mikel there is less balance to the midfield, Mikel is the anchor that allowed Balley, Super Frank and Deco to go forward against Portsmouth, and we missed that against Wigan and Tottenham. If we can get him and Drogba back for the Citeh game, its three points IMO.

I think he is under-rated in my opinion. He never looses the ball and keeps it simple.

In teams now days its essential to have players like Makelele and Mikel in the team.

Yeah and we need him back for the Man City game....

Hehe! Have you been watching Mikel since he has come? He does loose the ball a bit, awful last season for that :-) but he is getting better

I can feel badboy laying into me now LOL

[Badboy 1,526]

Mikel does not loose the ball infact that is his main skill.

[Guest Lampards Bitch]

Yeh and Im the Queen of England...........The ball hardley sticks to his foot like glue

[Badboy 1,526]

Thats just your opinion love, so tell me what are mikel's main skills ?

Punching Toure and bunch of other Arsenal Smugs on the field.

Lol...he never looses the ball. Like i said its because he just keeps it simple. He wins the ball then gives it to Lampard, Deco, Ballack etc so then the team can move from there.

He doesn't look for the killer pass, thats the job of the midfielders who play in front of him.

How can you say never?? He has lost the ball...............lol

He has alot of room for improvement. Sometimes he just looks lost out there.
