Manuf 1,448 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 i think that when lamps said "people judge you by your last performance" he was absolutely spot on. Yaya being better than Lamps. robdog and The Skipper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 You don't know what you have got until it's gone.This will almost certainly be the case with Mikel when he leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuf 1,448 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 What kind of name is Yaya?Lil Jon: Yayyyyya Toure..As you werein polish Yaya is pronounced as "jaja" which mean balls or eggs, but balls suit him more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 See if Lamps plays beside Rami when hes at ACON.... then I will not be too happy. Romeu is the closest to Mikel we have, he must get his position when hes at ACON.. if not we are most likely fucked... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amblève. 4,995 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Was his substitution yesterday due to injury?I'd guess, to prevent him from being sent off and missing the Swansea game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,959 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I'd guess, to prevent him from being sent off and missing the Swansea game.Exactly, him and Romeu were already booked and the United midfield was sometimes pretty quick for us so it would be only matter of time when one of them got second yellow.

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 He was poor against Swansea. Slowed us down and seemed like he reverted back to the old Mikel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 He was poor against Swansea. Slowed us down and seemed like he reverted back to the old Mikel...He was slow because the four in front of him were poor and static. It's amazing how people can't refuse to come to that obvious conclusion. pHaRaOn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 He was slow because the four in front of him were poor and static. It's amazing how people can't refuse to come to that obvious conclusion.He was also asked to play in the Ramires/Lampard role in the midfield which he is simply not cut out for. Can't blame him for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pHaRaOn 2,131 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 He made some good blocks and interceptions against Swansea. He was not poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't blame him for that.Yeah that too. But it really annoys me that he is expected to create passes out of nothing. If the players in front of him can't find space to receive the ball how can he pass? TorontoChelsea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naked Mole Rat 437 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I thought he was immense along with Ramires. Those two are like a brick wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nachikethas 1,154 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 i never seen him in an attcking mode like yesterday night.. so many touches in the last half...for me mikel is best thing that happened after munich this year.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmpr 8,977 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I thought he was immense along with Ramires. Those two are like a brick wall.DISAGREEMikel wasnt bad, but he was positioning himself wrongly in some dangerous Shak attacks. He left our midfield exposed and that reflected in Bertrand poor performance.Ramires just got schooled by Fernandinho, but he had a good attitude towards the end of the match.
