It's like that knee injury possessed him into being creative!

Creative? No assist, no shots, no long balls actually. Can't remember many forward passes either... Yes he helped containing their impetus, but calling creative when he is the opposite is just crazy...

Btw can't really give too much praise to our defenders against glorious crystal palace at the bridge.

Praise is to be given for the championship and for the entire season performance, but we've been very poor lately.

not bad as a right winger

You obviously did not see the long pass he did for Drogba. Was an excellent ball. Drogba just was not able to get in under control. Had he scored that, we would all be talking about how that was one of the best passes of the season.

Saw the pass, he over hit it (too fast and too hard) so it really wasn't an excellent ball.

So that's the answer! We've been arguing about Jose moving him to defensive midfield all those years and in the end he turns out to be a natural right winger!!

he was also close to scoring from a lay off from Drog ..

If it was aimed at anyone other than Drogba it would have been

MikelGOD was putting on a show for the fans yesterday. DAT run before he received the ball from Drogs and nearly scored.

You must have been watching a different game to me because for some fucking weird reason he was our biggest attacking threat after Ivanovic in the second half. Hazard couldn't be arsed, Drogba was beyond tired, Willian was playing right-back and Mikel was taking the piss by passing the ball in a direction other than sideways

Mikel an attacking threat?! I've heard everything now...Are you messing with me? The word threat implies imminent danger... Was it?! From mikel?!

No way you look at his stats you can consider him a threat in attack: his attacking stats are as low as they get.

Perhaps the reason we had no attack whatsoever was indeed because mikel was our biggest attacking threat. Another way: because our attacking players were off mikel ended up being our attacking threat which did not work obviously as we had little going forward.

Let me put in a way everybody can understand (even people who dislike Oscar): the stats (as well as your eyeballs) show that Oscar has a (MUCH) better chance to hit a long ball, assist, and specially score. So, the fact Mikel is trying those things will almost always end up in a lackluster attacking effort by us. Football is about completing these plays not how often trying them...

Also, we played crystal palace at the bridge.... Context...
