Phil Driver 503 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 You would have thought he would have been out the back somewhere embarrassed about being in the Europa League judging by his comments on the competition, not fighting to lift it at the front ,just glad our other players who Mikel is not in the same class as were motoivated to win another European trophy for our club. If Rafa got one thing right it was dropping Mikel ,he thinks he is a lot better than many fans who have to put up with his performances . edetarod and Joe Cool 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 So now we're criticizing him for criticizing it? Because did we not do the same, then celebrate avidly when we won the competition?

Popular Post! LDN Blue 7,903 Posted May 17, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted May 17, 2013 You may have ,but then you may have not been around when we won nothing for years . Didnt hear Lampard saying this Europa League is to small for me and I am a Champions League player ,no he was out there playing to win it for Chelsea.I was here too, that's irrelevant. If we were all satisfied by the Europa League we wouldn't be unhappy if we finished outside the top 4, so the self-righteous act doesn't really come into play here.Just because Mikel said the competition isn't the prime time, which it's not, doesn't mean he wasn't out to win the competition. How many times have we laughed at Tottenham for playing Europa? Didn't we laugh at Man United last year for playing in there, and not winning it? Mikel didn't even say he didn't want to win it!

Didnt hear Lampard saying this Europa League is to small for me and I am a Champions League player ,no he was out there playing to win it for Chelsea.This, combined with the fact that he was strolling around the pitch clearly not giving two shits in the match right after these comments (Kazan 2nd leg) are more than enough to convince anyone of how awful his attitude was. Then combine it with this trophy crap and...well.. that just leaves me with nothing else to say to be perfectly honest.Whatever, there's no point in beating a dead horse with a stick, so let's just talk about something more... important.

lucio 5,418 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I'm sorry, but the reasonable arguments are buried underneath mountains of BS and insults. Nope, I won't bite, I have studying to do and I won't get into a pointless argument now. You want to know my opinion on Mikel is? I've stated it here countless times and explained it in great detail. You want to know what Mikel provides to the team? Here, read this: http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/13977-john-mikel-obi-the-keystone/that article is utter hogswash. keystone my arse.

Mikel's performances were utter rubbish in the competition.Most of his performances in a Chelsea shirt have been average or below-par. He hasn't really evolved his game..from that young teenager we signed all those years ago.To be honest, he's not even a vital part of our team...he only gets game time cause he's the only "experienced" DM in the first team squad.I bet if he was this lazy at United, Fergie would have sold him by now...
