Mikel John Obi

People who bash on Mikel = Unknowledagble about his role and what he actually does for the team.

People who hate on Mikel don't understand his role.

:yes:

[Steve 10,227]

:yes:

Yep been saying this for years and its true. Everyone compares him to Maka which is an unfair comparison.

[DYC. 7,542]

Sometimes all you can do is repeat:

Obi putting in another fine performance. I've always liked him but I'm starting to become a fan.

[JDY 1,290]

Typical trolls. Always there to bash Mikel when he makes mistakes but never there to give him credit where it's due.

Apparently you aren't allowed to give credit for a good performance if he has frustrated you in the past. Atleast that's what it seems.

It's getting boring seeing comments like; 'Wait and see the haters come out after one bad performance'. But if you praise him, you get accused 'bashing' him in the past. Can't win with some people.

Did rather well just like against Tottenham though if he had a better long passing and shooting ability he would be among the better midfielders in the world. Seems so one sided at times...I like really his partnership with Rami.

That wasn't my point, I actually applaud those who can change their mind about a player as opposed to being so fixated on the negatives.

Ramires has been playing a lot better than him, he's been the one covering him, Mikel can't play by himself, i said he would be a decent player with Ramires or Romeu.

And yet where is all this credit on Ramires?, this goes to prove Obi isn't a good player and the reason is because your all so damn surprised about it you buzz over an average performance from him. You would think he's Bastian Schweisntiger or something.

Now people are over crediting him when our team wins, he was on form last season and i was saying this, and I'll say it again, we are better off with a replacement if we want a very good team.

Aye, the second part wasn't directed at you.

[Manuf 1,448]

@Kojo yeah, we all now that it's not Mikel playing well, somebody is just doing his job and he happens to have few glimpses every now and then. We could use someone like Tiote anyway.

Firstly, no one is taking anything away from Ramires you're putting that into your own head. If you think Mikel is playing average then you need to get some glasses. He is so strong on the ball and as per usual very rarely gives it away. The formation we are playing of course he needs someone to help him out and the main reason for that is because we play very high up the park.

So first you insult my eye sight and insist i need glasses?, were do i go on from here?, I'm gob smacked i have to say. Then you have the need to make up silly excuses on John Obi Mikel. Rarely gives it away?, hahahahahahahahaha

He's had a few good string of games, there's a reason no one rates Mikel but some of the chelsea supporters here.

And he puts in an average performance then everyone is on here like Mikel is solid hahahaha, then the Ramires thread is empty, yet if it wasn't for him Mikel would once again be in the shit. Mikel cannot mark people out of a game, even his strengths don't warrant anything great into the team, remember when he got pushed off the ball by Charlie Adam and Liverpool went on to score against us?. Then Juventus game when he got overrun, he couldn't even pass a fucking ball properly, it's because of him they equalised.

But no one see's that, you need some glasses my friend, i find it funny how people just forget things.

Hypocrytes, but I'll get slated for this post no doubt about it, because no one can actually look at things from anther perspective. Just watch, Torres has played shite, he's going to get tortured, once he scores a goal you wont be able to slate him again or you'll get slated. Same old shit.

Mikel is going to be offered a new 4 year deal, his agent is quoted saying in the sun. Believe it if you will. Good news for the club if true.

You don't appreciate what he does for the team. He makes the odd error here and there and sometimes is made the scapegoat but he is on average a very consistent performer. He does his role for the team, as simplay as that. BTW, I am sure people highly rate Ramires, everyone appreciates how much he has improved on us but don't make it look like Mikel only looks good when Ramires play, it takes a joint performance. When we kept Cazorla and co quiet for most of the game, Ramires greatly contributed as did Mikel, they could not get past him and Mikel never lost the ball. You seem 2 pick out where he makes mistakes but yet you have not picked out anything good he does. Despite conceding 2 goals to Spurs I thought he had an overall solid game. He kept very composed in games against Wigan and Newcastle this season and again displayed his strides of improvement he has made at us.

Also our Champions League win? How many injuries/suspensions we had for that final against Bayern. We got dominated that match but IMO along with Cech and the rest of our defence he was as good as anyone with his role.

We are top of the league atm and deserved and you seem to have this outgoing criticism of Mikel. RDM clearly sees the true value of him and how he has performing and I am sure there is a reason we are top of the league, As good as our attack has been, it helps when you have you're hard working/ anchor man players doing their roles properly like Makelele done for us.

It's 5 years, not 4.
