John Obi Mikel could he play CB?

[Krypt 241]

I think the simple answer is yes , if it called for it i would much rather see obi there rather than paulo , but only if either Bruma or ivan could not play. We have Ramiers who is a DM normally for brazil so he could fill in , but i see these options as a last term messsure.

At the moment Mikel is our only capable experienced midfielder, I'd rather play Drogba at CB than Mikel.

I think maybe we will have to play him at cb with either ramires , paulo or essien holding

As he's our only good midfielder, we would do better to let him in the midfield (i mean at the moment).

But once both Lampard and Essien will be back, we should regard this option... I guess a partenership Iva-Mikel will be better than a Iva-Bruma or Iva-Paulo...

Bosingwa - Mikel - Iva - Ash

Ramires/Essien

Essien/Ramires - Lampard

Definitely not. Moving Mikel back now would simply leave a huge gap in our midfield.

this is ridiculous...

you're all shouting for giving young ppl a chance and let them play even if they make mistakes and now after ONE Bad Game you're really considering Mikel beeing a CB and Bruma beeing left on the bench? are you all serious?

we all KNEW this could happen and we all said ok, lets take it and be brave but the greatest disapointment is carlo... telling us he was seeing sth special in the training... may be he saw an ufo flying over ferreiras head?

I think he could, he has a good reading of the game and is physically strong enough... however with Terry, Ivanovic, Alex and Bruma, plus Ferreira who is more than capable of playing at RCB, I don't think we'll ever need him.

Well I fucking put a hoodoo on that one...
