DH1988 1,348 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Always happens with Mikel, he looks like the player we shelled up money for (yes I'm aware Jose switched his position) and for us he seems to take the safest 5 yard Scott Parker passes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communicate 2,703 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I heard that Mikel played like a true dpl for nigeria, a type of player that we really need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 You also have to see that the level at the AFCON is very low compared to the PL so it is much easier for him to play such passes.. But he has really been playing well..There are some world class midfielders at the AFCON like Toure and Keita and yet Mikel has the most chances created per match in the tournament. Lets give credit where it's due. zolayes, The Skipper, teignman and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovieticus 743 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Well to be fair, Nigeria have a lot of pacy attackers, and they're so direct making good runs in behind. Something that doesn't happen a lot here.Then it means we need more black attackers. Sheva. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sovieticus 743 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I'll call Kalou(inho).He's too slow, we need more pacy ones. Usain Bolt friends would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Freak 456 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hopefully Mikel can be more influential in the Chelsea midfield. He always seems to raise his game for Nigeria... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hopefully Mikel can be more influential in the Chelsea midfield. He always seems to raise his game for Nigeria...It's not even that. It's just that he plays a different role for Nigeria - at CFC he's instructed to play the way he does here.

Lets give credit where it's due. Not to mention Mikel has gotten further than Toure in the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

different level 1,056 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I also heard he played well, although I hadn't watched a full AcoN match, but those are definitely some positive news. Mikel is a very underrated player, quite often been made fun of his inability to do something creative up front and also being a back passer, but last month his absence was felt when we had to defend a lead.
