CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 With his appearance last night, Mikel moved into the top 25 appearance makers ever for Chelsea. Pretty impressive.Not Chelsea quality, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Against WHU, one of the better games (as a sub) I've seen of him lately and still far from good enough IMO.He had one good pass to Eden on the left and everything else was the same bureaucratic drivel I expect from him. We were a man down and he - rightfully so - moved up the pitch (prob instructed to do so), but then as always he was completely ineffective going forward.No I do not expect him to dribble past 2 players and score, but I do expect him to try to assist, try to shoot from outside the box, or make a run just to confuse the markers. He doesn't do any of that though; no shots attempted for a guy who had so much of the football and was under no pressure - opponents know about his attacking numbers.Mikel and Ramires as CMs is just sad... They just don't produce anything going forward and the attacking players suffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 What is it with you and Mikel? I have a feeling you'd kick him in the shin if you ever met him.Not at all - nothing personal. Just think he is a lousy footballer. And these days I even question whether a playyer such as mikel is even needed as all top clubs don't employ them any more.And to be honest it's not like I say 'mikel sucks!' But rather give very specific reasons why I believe he is insufficient - thought his 600 odd minutes in epl in our winning season was reason enough (that he isn't good enough to play).Also I did Not say he was the reason we lost today - no single player is. And ivanovic did not play against WHU. DYC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You respectfully rip him to shreds. robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh fair enough Though I am actually satisfied that he hardly plays. My dumbfoundedness relates to why we have him in the roster - Mikel is a solution in search of a problem that Chelsea fc don't have.See if I buy into the burned out idea caused by little to no rotation, then I look at the roster and understand why we do not rotate.I recur because it is a recurring problem - not Mikel himself but him not being the type of player we need (to rotate).

y10edn 185 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 not sure of Ferreira and Robben should be over Joe Cole, it seems Mikel would make a good coach must be the reason we've kept him so long to understudy 8 top managers in 10 Years nachikethas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
