Fulfilling a joke role in the team right now. Collecting checks. Truly pathetic.

This has nothing to do with today's result but I see him on the bench all the time and I think it's ridiculous.

if u were to get 50 grand a week sitting on the bench would you want to leave?? he wouldnt get that money else were Mikel is like a cold it's hard to get rid off ffs

[the wes 7,212]

do they want to play attractive free flowinfg football ,, well it makes sense then

I wish he would fuck off else were

You're right, we should see him more often on the pitch :eyebrows:

What has he done wrong in the eyes of the guys slagging him off here? Chelsea have offered him several contracts to stay, managers have regularly selected him in match day squads for the past.. 9 years is it? Or are you putting him in the same bracket as Bogarde?

I think we have pages and pages explaining clearly why many of us think he's not very useful. Besides, your question applies to every player who gets criticized routinely - should we move over to Oscar's thread now?

As a side note, even though you may not agree with the conclusions, there are interesting stats there:

* Notice that the comparisons are about defending!

My take from the stats:

1) people who don't like Matic much should really hate Mikel, because either Matic is amazing or Mikel is terrible. I think Matic IS a great player and Mikel is only decent/mediocre.

2) He's on decline at chelsea.

You can go to squawka and play with the stats. hint: don't pick this season.

Mikel is helpless to Chelsea's First Team bench!

[wilander 35]

I don't approve of that move

He must move out, because he is useless in now Chelsea!
