Why did Benitez bench Mikel for the World club cup Final? Is there any particular reason for this? Is Benitez the designer of his own misfortune?

Would mikel have scored for chelsea? What had been the outcome of chelsea's mathces with mikel in, he has no fantastic assist rate. Stop being obssessed with patrotism, tht is racism. Mikel is not xavi, alonso, paul ince, gerard, song, anderson, yaya toure etc . Mikel is not fantastic.

well i am not a chelsea fan neither am i a fan of mikel, but having watched the match, chelsea's main problem was inability to convert text book chances (torres) and maybe inability of the midfield to stop the opponents attacks. That is why i asked the question on alternative starters

I still can't believe Roman Abramovich sacked that Italian GentleMan for that untactical spanish man. When he was busy strangling to beat the Corinthians RDM was all full with smiles winning the suisse coach of the year.
Mikel does a dirty job for chelsea and that fact cannot be ruled out. He's good and his teammate appreciates him.Respect to Lampard, RB shudnt hv started him cos he was match rusted and besides Hw many matches has he played with Mata..Hazard..and Oscar this season? Tactically, Benetiz got it wrong and that cost him that loss.
