Mourinho on Mikel scoring: 'Good for him, good for us. It's good for his confidence. He played well, giving balance to the team'.

Where's Phil Driver?

Mikel told Neil Barnett in the Chelsea TV interview that he wasn't supposed to be in that corner after he charged forward which resulted in that and then told Ramires to stay back for him because he was tired!

I witnessed Mikel score live. A moment to savour.

Phil Driver will soon come with a comment saying something down the lines of "This shows why Mikel should not play. Even when he is instructed not to go forward he does it and does not listen to his manager. He decided to do what he wants. Lampard is happy to do as instructed and when he comes on you see the difference. Mourinho will know it is a matter of time that Lampard should be put back into the lineup".

achievement unlocked: watch Mikel score

He was colossal today!

My man of the match!

Mikel and Ramires for the two pivots is a no brainer.

I hope you're joking? Them 2 in the pivot is a really horrible at some moments. 1st Half was awful. Don't expect fancy soccer and tidy passes going forward when Ramires and Mikel are playing. Midfield is just weak, compared to the other top clubs.

I sincerely hope everyone who has been bashing him recently refused to celebrate the goal today?

Dont kid yourself him and Rammy were dreadful against a very poor Fulham ravaged by injury . And Jose has now told us whay we will be playing like now and that is without this so called gap plugger /holder we will be pressing all over the pitch and playing posession football ,the Makelele role is now redundant.

As Jose said we needed this win ,BUT that performance was awful and there is much work to be done ,Jose has now explained to us in plain language what several managers before him were unable to communicate what the plan is ,there is no instant fix and we are a million miles away from what him and Roman want and we will have to be patient.

Where's Phil Driver?

Yeah I know where is he

Because this goal what Mikel scored that one goal in about 300 games has proven everything he said wrong.

Jesus do some of you people even try anymore? You complain about the Mikel thread being full of hate yet here you are being childish, get over yourselves.

[Phil Driver 503]

I thought he was dreadful first half every ball he attempted that was forward was mis directed and he only looked good late on when Fulham had thrown in the towel ,Rammy was awful as well . Lucky we had Petr Cech to save us in the first half and a sound defence led by JT going forward we were awful. But a win is a win and hopefully we can grow.

[Clevemayer 764]

Its now three games after kojo and big phil driver plus bleed red said he was gone.

He played Great in all three in one MOTM in The otherone is runners up and scores a cracker.

so either you are wrong or The universe is against you

Mikel had not made any runs, no shot on goal, no successful forward pass until the 80th minute of the match. I honestly can't think of any key play from him (even defense) until the end of the match.

To be fair on Mikel, Ramires was just as poor. And not to say it was team thing, Oscar was good from the start till the end.

Once again, nothing would please me more, if Mikel were able to do what he did in the final minutes of the match on a regular basis. I'd be the first one here praising him for that.

[zolayes 14,489]

for me Ramires was dreadful ,,,but Mikel did nothing except his goal ... If he could do that one game in 3 I would be delighted

EDIT 1 game in 5

The goal aside, because it was a knock down from a set-piece and had little to do with the overall performance, I thought he was excellent again today. Our most involved player with 99 touches of the ball, he absolutely bosses it and was winning everything in midfield. Again our best passer with the most passes at the highest accuracy (goes without saying, but shouldn't be taken for granted) he was the major reason why we had so much possession and were able to pile the pressure on Fulham until we score. Definitely one of our best players on the pitch, second only to the brilliant Oscar. Keep it up John.

we watched a different game as usual... no pressure at all until the second half for me.

Most useless passes known to men. Who gives a crap about side/back passes really... ?!
