Mikel John Obi

Normally I feel the criticism of Mikel is overdone, and I still feel that that is the case in general, but my god he seemed DIRE today. The only reason I say 'seemed' is because surely he must have been doing SOMETHING right to convince Mourinho to let him play the entire match. He was bypassed time and time again by the simplest forward passes through our DM zone, failed to pick up his man on countless occasions, and added in a few lazy challenges and clearances for good measure. Not acceptable, and a real shame as well because I quite liked what I had seen from him in previous appearances this season.

Cannot fathom his selection, couldn't understand why the hell he played a full game either, just baffling?!

And before the Mikel tinted brigade get on here I praised his performance against Stoke recently but there's no defending that performance........woeful.

In all fairness to Mikel, I don't know why Jose prefers him over Ramires especially when you already have Matic on the pitch.

Don't even blame Mikel today, Jose's selection was way too respective of Liverpool. No way we should've given up possession as much as we did today.

Mikel is bad omen. We seem to always fade off when playing with him

Why not? Jose keeps doing this against teams he think are good, he will always be rightly blamed for such things... But Mikel, he is just a waste of space! Everytime he use to get the ball when we went on a back foot, U could feel it something wrong is going to happen.

I understand it is first leg, get a goal be on the defensive but Mikel over Ramiers just because he a few inches taller is a freaking crime. I blame Mikel and Jose equally.

Unfit Mikel Instead of Matic....

[Jase 43,479]

Oh Eva, please work your magic and get Mikel back to 100% before next Sunday...

[iseah100 5,612]

Bet none of us would have imagined we would be praying for Mikel to get healthy.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

I prefer Ake.

As much as people would like to ridicule him, he is still a decent understudy for matic. Would be a big miss since matic is unavailable. Need him.
