Naked Mole Rat 437 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Everyone else seems to be impressed with Mikel's display against Arsenal, but in all honesty, I was a bit disappointed with him. He wasn't very composed yesterday like you'd normally expect him to be and made some hasty challenges. If I'm not wrong, he was at fault for Arsenal's goal when he was easily tricked into attempting a block by Gervinho (I think). Maybe I'm being a bit harsh since the tempo was very high throughout the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Mikel was at fault in anyway. Rmpr and zolayes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT could have done something as well. In the end though I think it was just a clever check back run from Gervinho with a surprisingly great finish. I don't think Luiz and JT could have done much. It was more down to Cole and Mata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm being a bit harsh since the tempo was very high throughout the game.As others have said, goal was not Mikel's fault in the least. Some goals are obviously one player's fault (like Cech's mess-up against Redding) but a lot of goals are because a couple of players made minor mistakes and this was one of them. A little too much space here and a little too much space there and presto, goal. Mikel and Ramires did make a complete mess of the play leading up to the Giroud miss though but it was a miss. Still, Mikel played well as he usually does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevemayer 764 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 MIKEL THE MANPosted on: Tue 02 Oct 2012His manager and a long-term team-mate have both praised the work of John Mikel Obi in Chelsea's midfield.The Nigerian attracted criticism following our last Champions League game against Juventus after he surrendered possession to the Italians in the build-up to their second goal, but with almost 250 Chelsea appearances to his name, the 25-year-old remains a highly valued member of the squad.'Everyone has an opinion but ever since he joined the club he's played a lot of games, all the important games, and he's never missing from the team if he's available for selection,' Cech said. 'He's very useful and he was part of our success over the years, he's a massive player and we are happy to have him in the team no matter what anybody else says.'Speaking last night prior to our training session at Parken, temporary home of FC Nordsjaelland, tonight's opponents, Di Matteo echoed the goalkeeper's sentiments.'I don't know why Mikel is underrated by the media or the fans. He is very rated by us in the group and it's a position where you're a bit of an unsung hero,' the Italian explained.'You do the dirty work which is not recognised all the time because the goalscorers and more creative players get the recognition. But he is very important for our team, he breaks up the play, he is physically strong, he is getting better on the ball with his distribution and dictates the tempo of the team as well so we are very happy to have him in our team.'http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/2935738/title/mikel-the-man SeB and zolayes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 With Nigeria all but through now, Mikel will leave in January for the ACN so we'll have even less numbers in midfield... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Yes we got to bring a CDM in january, we cant rely on Romeu. My suggestion is Etienne Capoue, is a beast. SeB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meetdoscar 335 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Romeu is a great back up for mikel when he leaves in january and he proved it last year. Thanks to good depth in our squad. Romeu for mikel, marin/sturridge for moses. Quality for quality no loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
