Mikel John Obi

[The Skipper 20,593]

A major reason behind our solid start to the season. LEGEND

Yeah, he sure is. That back heel against Everton is possibly the greatest moment so far this season

[Special Juan 27,424]

I couldn't understand him not winning POTM ahead of Costa.

[Fulham Broadway 16,832]

Brilliant at holding when 1-0 up with 70 mins left, but not someone to be a game changer when we're 2-0 down.

Integral to Joses methodology.

[Supermonkey92 1,428]

Put my neck on the line, he should be given a chance. Probably not against city though but after.

Either you play a pivot with two players who protect the defence as much if not more than they initiate attacks. Matic and Ramires have not done that.

Or you play with one which solely sits in front of defence so the five in front can play with a little less responsibility on each player. Matic hasn't done that.

But Mikel can and I have wanted this guy out the team for years!

Play him and matic. Let matic get forward. And Mikel sit deep

[Styles 9,790]

Solid performance. It's no surprise Ake played well with a such an experienced senior player by his side.

[Cosmin 2,484]

Good performance again today, against Sporting. He brought some freshness and calm to our game.

[The Chels 2,502]

Don't think he gives as much composure as we'd expect. Watching Atletico play this season Tiago has been absolutely amazing even against the likes of Real. I'm still disappointed that we didn't replace Mikel with him.

well duh, how can you come off the bench tired?

I said that he brought some freshness to OUR GAME, which means that the whole team, as a group, looked better after he came in.

well you voted him MOM ,, amazing

Yes, I think he had a huge role today. The players were tired and Sporting seemed to be very close to finding their way to the equalizer, but then he came in and released the pressure. To be honest, I think Matic and Cesc were great too, but I was surprised by Mikel's performance.

you are entitled to your opinion but your analysis I find staggering

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Game ended as soon as he came on.

[didierforever 7,349]

Has a role in the squad, and he plays tjat role to perfection. Brilliant squad player to have to close down the ganes.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Class player to bring on and close games down.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

I agree but he's just getting game time because Ramires is injured. He's been a great player for us but I feel we should sell him in the summer. It would be best for both club and him.

To be honest I think Ramires would have had Schurrle's spot today if he was fit.

its wonderful to have so many options ..A squad with DEPTH and Quality
