Blue Armour 4,448 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I dont rate Mikel highly. I should state that first.Just realised, that ever since any player has joined Chelsea after the Roman Era, there has always been some form of Interest from other clubs for almost all our starters, EXCEPT FOR MIKEL.I wonder why.I really think only our supporters(not all) rate him that well.Tell me how pathetic i am.Or it could be because they realize we have a real gem on our hands and that we wouldn't give him up so easily!

Muzchap 8,966 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 the other midfielder who gave us stability was Ballack and he too was criticised in his last season ... Makes one wonderSame old story, only the flashy players get Real recognition Mikel has annoyed me in previous seasons, but so far (barring the odd mistake) has looked good in his position I thought he was amazing with Raul vs Newcastle and couldn't believe Raul was sold - could have been the start of something good...As another poster on a diff thread mentioned n the DP you need a defensive + creative player, we have Mikel, now just need to find somebody to play alongside him, then he will truly shine and get the recognition he deserves!

The Rising Sun 711 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 You may not rate Mikel but he has obviously been rated by every Chelsea manager over the last six years since he has averaged over 40games a season ... I suppose you will find this irrelevant and not constructive as it doesnt agree with your spurious opinionYes he has been rated, and he has had more than a few fantastic games for us.Its my personal opinion, that i think we can have a defensive midfielder who is more of an enforcer and commanding than mikel.My opinion will probably not change, but the fact that you have already decided that i will view your observation as irrelevant and not constructive is wrong.What to do, you have already made your judgement on how i will respond.

Rowan_Osborn 58 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 ONE BAD GAME?, ONE BAD FUCKING GAME?, DO YOU WATCH CHELSEA?.He's only had one good game and that was against Newcastle, and that was because Newcastle tried to outplay us rather than let us come and counter attack the fuck out of our weak double pivot.I think its harsh to say he has had one good game. I remember last year after his father was kidnapped he had several good performances and was greatly applauded. What frustrates me with Mikel is that he can go through a game not making any mistakes and putting in a decent performance but then in one moment he will have a lapse in concentration that can cost us games. We saw it against QPR and we saw it again against Juve. Defensively he did well despite clearly being outnumbered in midfield, but that pass was pathetic and then rather than trying to fight to win it back he stood motionless. I'm still not clear where i stand on Mikel; I'm not one of these fans that wishes to remove him totally from the squad, as his role is important in our team, but at the same time i do not think we can afford these lapses in concentration nor do i understand why Romeu is not played despite being a very technically gifted player. If Romeu was given game time and then not perform at least it will get some people off RDM's back and if he were to perform then we would have a stronger starting eleven.

RamiCFC9 258 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Iam actually going to praise Mikel right now cuz he is probably the only guy from the old squad who is atleast trying to develop under RDM.(he is making alot more forward passes, which is kinda new for him and will need time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Why did he have to apologize ?

No need for it what's so ever, the guy deserves our support and that is what he will get from me.Definitely but it is nice to see he takes the responsibility and says sorry for that. It takes a man to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Madmax 9,219 Posted September 20, 2012 Popular Post! Share Posted September 20, 2012 Lmao, how predictable for this thread to a flurry of activity after last night while Terry's thread has next to nothing, despite him being culpable in both of Juve's goals and being put to shame when compared to his Italian equivalent in Chiellini.
