WilsonMay 12 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Mikel performance was still OK last Sunday, at least he is still dependable in that kind of situation. didierforever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I am not saying sell Mikel and use one of those kids instead.Zouma would have done the same prob better as he tackles better. So, once we get one or two defenders Mikel will get even less playing time (he does not play much under Jose). Aside from that, a number of cheap DMs out there could provide the same cover - some with a bit more intensity and technique.Once again, our opponents have better players (than Mikel) sitting on their bench IMO.

zolayes 14,489 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Is it time to convert Mikel into a CB ? .. Im not sure if I'm joking or serious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Mikel needs to play. We need more defensive solidarity at the minute. Him playing would take an unreal amount of pressure off of Matic, whose own form is suffering because of how badly Fabregas is performing. If any of you are bored and want to read how 1) I've developed this point in the following article, and 2) my writing quality has declined as much as Fabregas' performances have in the last few months, check this out: Read the full article: http://www.talkchelsea.net/_/articles/a-case-for-mikel-r756 Thoughts/feedback welcome.
