Pizy 18,909 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Wtf! He's literally owning Spain's midfield right now.Point to prove maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nachikethas 1,154 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 There must be an on off switch for his pass mode either backwards or frontwards! He is doing Mata like passes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drog.ba 239 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Need to get him to go forward more next season, he doesnt need to just sit like he did when we played 433 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Driver 503 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Not at the races this half ,another of his traits lack of fitness ,no chance he can be box to box in that role ,like Frank or Rammy ,looks like he is running in sand,as soon as this is over Jose will bring us the good news that he is leaving .

Jase 43,479 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Lets just sell Mata and play Mikel in the No.10 role. He's clearly better. Stingray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start 22 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Been quite impressed by Mikel in the confeds. Would like to see him go forward to see us next yr, especially under a 433 system. OneMoSalah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na think hes been ok this half, still Nigeria's most influential player. Hes had a few decent runs and passes so I think its tough to criticize him, especially against the best team in the world.

Don't worry, he just seems hellbent that Mikel is definitely leaving because apparently Jose has told him personally that he doesn't rate Mikel.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Well. That's that. 3 - 0 is flattering to Spain in my opinion, Nigeria played well - they just lacked that quality in the final 3rd. Mikel was brilliant in the first half, head and shoulders above almost everyone on the pitch including the Spanish players, but I didn't like his attitude in the 2nd half, it was almost nonchalant. He played without that same passion unfortunately.All in all, I'm happy that he used the tournament to remind everyone of his qualities. Great tournament overall.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Lol doesn't rate Mikel but he signed him in the first place and basically converted him to a defensive midfielder..... That bit isn't true - Jose only started Mikel as a DM in 12 out of 27 games. The conviction that Jose turned him into a DM is untrue; that's more down to all the other managers that decided to use him there permanently.
