Mikel John Obi

[juko 19]

he deserves a standing ovation for only this match . Mikel you are maybe not world class but you are a player for Chelsea

u actually have a problem understanding that statament... UNBELIEVABLE. btw y did u stop the quoting at "are"... i ll tell u what i said next. it was "give him a respite for a game". u think thats a call to give a god like status??? (by the way try again to decode the hidden meaning in the statement, its not that difficult).

few posts??? tell me a player who got half as much stick as mikel.

i was stating the obvious. do u think busquets is some1 who can win barca champions league single handedly. NO. yet he is a very efficient cog in the barca wheel. does he have 10 assits or 5 goals in the season, i dont think so, yet every1 knows how important his defensive positioning and even his 6 yard passes to xavi and iniesta are. saying mikel thrives on the players around him is not an insult to him and u need to understand football better for it. not every1 in the team can be a matchwinner, some1 has to do the dirty work and for us the best option is mikel. he might not be the best in the world by some fair distance but he is not as bad and he definitely does not deserve the ridicule he is getting from his own fans.

Kalou, Bosingwa, Meireles....

Ones who didn't? Makele, Essien, Drogba.....

I think you'll accept that Mikel has shown inconsistencies in his performances against both weak sides (like Southampton, West Ham) , as well as strong sides (Juventus).

While he has improved significantly over the past 3 seasons, he still doesn't look like shaking off that tag of inconsistency.

All players can have bad games, but in Mikel's case the next one doesn't seem to be far off. The defensive midfielder is supposed to be one of the most reliable players on the pitch...that's why people have second thoughts about Mikel continuing to be first choice DM for this team.

Yes, someone has to do the dirty work in midfield..but the issue with Mikel has ALWAYS been consistency.

He puts in a good performance against United...then goes missing against mid-table clubs...

Busquets isn't a matchwinner for Barcelona but he's a consistent player.

i know. and thus i said he is "for us the best option is mikel" and " he might not be the best in the world by some fair distance but he is not as bad and he definitely does not deserve the ridicule he is getting from his own fans."

i am under no illusion about mikel's consistency. its the extreme hatred and some of the absolute anti-mikel comments that bother me.

I reckon bringing in another DM is the best option for Chelsea and Mikel.

That way, we'll have another option for the midfield (it'll keep the players fresh) and the new DM will be able to challenge Mikel for his first team place.

probably. but it would also end mceachran and romeu's chelsea career for sure.

those are easy to ignore its the mega multi quotes of "the only place to be " why can't he be satisfied with one quote.

I know we all like seeing Blue ,,,but his posts look like QPR hoops

What's the difference between a turtle and mikel ?

Well the turtle can outrun Mikel

[Hutcho 8,443]

Mikel is the only player who is considered one of the greatest dm's by some and terrible by others. I am not too sure he is a bit too inconsistent, but is very dependant on the man next to him. His all round game isn't as good as we would like as that would benefit our pivot much more. And if he was to play next to a proper deep lying playmaker which none of lampy Rambo or luiz are, then we may see a different mikel.

I do think he should stop shooting lol.

I've tried to stay out of this debate today, but Mikel's biggest asset has always been his consistency. His ability to make 50+ passes in every match at a 85+% accuracy is why he's good.
