i dont belive matic is gona start every match for mikel he can also rotate for ramires(i mean mikel-matic pairing is possible). but only time will tell.what i dont agree is that is mikel gona thrown away like that article is suggesting.

Well that really depends on his ambition as a player.

I reckon he will play even less now with another option in midfield, and that may or may not be OK with him.

He's reportedly on a 75K a week, which could make him accept whatever role Chelsea will have for him.

We will find out soon enough.

Should have been sold last summer. Offers fuck all to our play.

did his job but it just wasn't what we needed today

[HD3D 1,038]

Send him on a permanent loan to a second division team in the league of Vietnam. Totally useless.

wtf is mourinho doing starting him and donkhill over matic and luiz.. retarded decision.

To be fair there was no reason for a defensive mid to play today. Everybody was behind the ball.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Are people on here completely clueless? This wasn't the game for him especially alongside Ramires of all people.

Blame Jose.

I dont understand why you critised him today so much? He almost didn´t lost the ball, i think it was one of the better match, which it played this year

Yeah, as if not losing the ball is all that's required for a Chelsea player. Stop making excuses for him, he's unimaginative, negative and unambitious in his play and his inclusion today was beyond baffling and a major blunder from the manager.

You can't lose the football if ppl aren't really trying to take it from you.

BTW, the most overrated skill in football.

I don't blame him though - it was not a game for him and his stats prove it.

[Excalibur KTBFFH 109]

And I say that as a Nigerian too. You just have to be honest and call out players that aren't good enough.

yeah, i dont have problem with that. a i think too that Mikel is useless, but he wasn´t problem today

You know you are dropping points when you see his name on the team sheet.

Exactly. If anything, people should blame Mourinho for selecting him because he wasn't what we needed today.

He's an anchor man, not someone that's expected to contribute when going forward.

And the apologists are here.

What a fuck'n bullshit, he had a decent game front three were shit... couldn't split the defence with they're passing, he pressed high up and regained posession quickly... tbf I was disappointed from matic because he was MUCH better then him today...

Main letdown today was matic, he even tried to make things happen from midfield... your talking of being fair?... rididiulus...

Matic was worse and should've done better for that half an hour he had to play... Lamps was a breath of fresh air... it should have been lamps and Matic or Lamps and Mikel... after what I've seen rambo shouldn't have been on the field today...
