YES. . .he played some great footie towards the latter stages of last season but I'll never use the word brilliant to qualify Mikel as a player. BRILLIANT was Makalele (at Chelsea)
Question is, is Mikel the only player playing this "underrated" position in football?
If other players playing exactly his role score goals, why shouldn't he?
VERY TRUE. . .and I couldn't agree more. In fact, it's what he does best. He's great at tackling, intercepting balls and winning balls." FA FA FOUL. . .big lie . Mikel no sabi tackle, intercept & win balls and break down opposing attacks. He's always running after opposing players when they've passed him. He's only good at collecting the ball from the back four, holding on to it & keeping possession and making short passes. All in all, Lampard is just being a good team mate. 18 Likes |

^^^^^I think he lacks initiatives. He doesn't inspire any form of attack. He's a bit too timid. 2 Likes |

mikel...improve! Enough of your shot fear-driven passes. Michael essien plays in thesame position and he does wonders for chelsea. Is it a crime if you score?..overall, i think mikel needs to step up his game . |

The man who played that role b4 Mikel was inspiring, aggressive and a scorer. Then why is Mikel not scoring? Why is he holding unto the ball only? What his fans are saying is Mikel should start steping on the aggressive and scoring shoes of Makalele. 1 Like |

phreakabit:so?...what's wrong with them?. What the hell do you know about football too? Sometimes mortals discredit other peoples post without any detailed reason. Or you are one of those that take utmost delight at throwing isults.Essien plays in that same position but he is more attacking minded that his counterpart mikel who is defensive conscious. Abeg..no time to argue with you. 1 Like |

For once i've to agree wit Chelsea player, Mikel is doing pretty well in that team.. He's more like Carrick at Manutd, i know some people will slate me for this but Mikel has really step-up his game... The Un-sung Hero 3 Likes |

what lampard is trying to tell is that mikel is over- rated by insiders and to add to that i will say that mikel is the only player in premier league i can bet money on that he will not score a goal this season. 2 Likes |

slex: can we compare how mikel played at the 2005 YWC in Holland and how he plays in Chelsea,for those who remember, which of the 'mikels' do you prefer, the one @YWC or in chelsea? God BLESS you for giving us those old memories of the GREAT mikel back in 2005 . That Mikel was light years ahead of this Mikel , He played elegantly back then and could shuttle between the center midfield and defensive midfield role until the defensive control freak called Mourinho brought him to Chelsea and destroyed his Career . Had Mikel signed for a team that encourages creative football like Bayern , Barcelona , AC Milan or even Arsenal he would have been THE BEST at the CMF / DMF role he plays . Take a look at how A.song has improved under Wenger . 2 Likes |

Funny enough people seem to have forgotten that back then in the YWC even at the Nations cup , Mikel didn't play the role of DMF , he plays as a CMF and was supposed to be the successor to Okocha's spot in the national team . DMF isn't his natural position . |
