Blue Armour 4,439 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Mikel getting criticized for not playing is funny, I admit, but tbh... just like stated in the post above, I can guarantee that we would have had even less possession then we had against City yesterday if Mikel was playing along with Rambo and Matic.And while Mikel might have shown, at least 90% of the time, more positional awareness, a few lapses in his concentration would have negated any of that.

didierforever 7,349 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Mikel would have slowed down midfield even further and ruined any build up play we had left. When will we learn that Matic-Mikel-Cesc will never work and never has?who is talking about even playing cesc against a team that is not pub level.

Gappy 130 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 His ability wasn't useful in this situation but we still need him to park the bus. He's a good sub for defense situation and He's happy with this role that was good for us If he really want to be a first squad he won't be stay this long. We still need people like this to fight in the long season and when we in December he'll Be useful or even in the situation that Matic got ban or injure he'll be the best choice in DMC role Essien19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
