The only place to be 11,313 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Once again Choulo ignores the point that Mikel can't play in the system. I can't wait to see your reaction when Mikel is sold I really can't.Any truth to the rumours that clubs were put off bidding for Mikel because they thought Choulo might follow him?

Kojo 4,676 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Any truth to the rumours that clubs were put off bidding for Mikel because they thought Choulo might follow him?He can't accept opinions, that's always been his problem, at least Skipper can accept an opinion, if you say a bad word about Mikel you get ridiculed.

hjperdeath 2,226 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Even if he was to score 10 goals, make a last ditch tackle ,end up stopping a potential world war 3 and remove his shirt to reveal the words " RAFA YOU FAT WANKER'' , we would still apparently want to sell him.

Fernando 6,585 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Good first half performance from him.To me is still the same mikel that slow down our plays and his millions side ways passing. LeChuck and robsblubot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 To me is still the same mikel that slow down our plays and his millions side ways passing.yup. he can turn and pass sideways - give him a medal!his contribution in attack is actually negative. Pretty embarrassing play when he got inside the box and lost possession on his own.He's just a one-dimensional midfielder, which should not be good enough for Chelsea.

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Actually one of our best players today (not saying much I know) but many people have already decided he's a major problem with the team so I doubt he'll get any recognition. He had a couple of bad plays but had a lot of great tackles and some very good passes as well. He led the team in tackles, interceptions, aerial duels, and passing percentage. He was also one of the only players to actually seem to know his position on the pitch and stay in his lanes. nore_ega, CHOULO19 and The Skipper 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! The only place to be 11,313 Posted September 14, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted September 14, 2013 Best performance he's put in for a while today.

Composed, controlled, strong in the air and didn't seem to give the ball away.Nice one.I missed most of the game, I could only watch the first 30 minutes, only just got back now. Gutted about the result, fucking Naismith of all people. I didn't like him when I was watching, I saw 2 flaws from him already but it seems like he had a good game overall.How was the game anyway? wrong thread to ask but yeah.

Waterfall 893 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Of all players, some want to blame Mikel for the loss? He wasn't great - no one was - but he was still one of our better players until the game went nuts.

Phil Driver 503 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Since Mikel's return from African's Nations Cup, he has started 9 games for us. We have won 3, drawn 2 and lost 4 of them.In the 14 games during this period when Mikel did not start, we have won 12, drawn 1 and lost 1. The one we drew, he played as a sub for 38 minutes and the one we lost, he came on after 60 minutes when we were leading 2-1 and ended up losing 3-2. That is the ONLY stat that concerns me .I suppose it could be coincidence ,but then again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDY 1,290 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Shaky first half but excellent in the 2nd.Could've done a lot better for their goal. Unaware of the player(s) behind him and like Cole was just ball watching. Only mistake I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuvala 2,167 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 TBH he was really good today.. made some runs and moved the ball FORWARD. nore_ega 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleed_blue 136 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Hey ho, so what we lost.Mikel was very good with his useless 5 yard passes. Check this picture of his first half passes.See how he can never hurt the opposition with his passes.https://twitter.com/Squawka/status/378936231955922944/photo/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one thing disliking a player for the team but then keep criticizing him just for the sake of it gets ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
