Davidbanky: Why are Nigerians like this ? Ribery won all the cups in Europe and would you say he deserve the ballon d'oor more than Ronaldo ? If you can answer that, then I think ur mikel and yaya toure issue would be solved . And if u are a coach who would u sign as a mieldfielder between this two players .....
Ronaldo has scored 62 goals for club and country in his “goal-drenched” year, currently 17 goals more than any other player (Lionel Messi has scored 45).
Ronaldo’s “hatful” in Europe is 14 Champions League goals in 2013, five more than any other player as well.

Ronaldo's individual accomplishments is record breaking. Yaya's accomplishments isn't record breaking to topple the accomplishments of Mikel for club or country.

Ronaldo vs Ribery is Ground breaking individual performance against a player who was part of a ground breaking team. A tough decision. It isn't the same with Yaya and Mikel.

We are talking achievements. What are Yaya's achiements in 2013. Will you say goal scoring run? grin

Ronaldo has goal scoring records that are record breaking. What was record breaking about Yaya's performance.

Mikel had 3 Man of the match performance in the AFCON last year. Part of the successful Super Eagles who last won the nations cup in '94. He was part of the Chelsea team who became the first team to hold the Champions league and the Europa league in the same year before Bayern won it.

As I listed CR7 and Mikel's achievements, list Yaya's own. Just as Striker9 listed Enyeama's achievements, list Yaya's own.

[b]Lille’s Vincent Enyeama has had a phenomenal start to the season by keeping an incredible 14 clean sheets in 19 Ligue 1 appearances this season. The Nigerian number 1 kept clean sheets against both Monaco and Lyon during the first half of the season and went on an incredible stretch of 11 consecutive league games without conceding a goal between late September and the first weekend in December (1,061 minutes).

Roma’s Morgan De Sanctis has kept 11 clean sheets in 17 Serie A appearances under former Lille manager Rudi Garcia. This included conceding just 1 goal in their opening 10 matches. The capital side have down a good job in limiting the number of shots their goalkeeper has had to keep out during the first half of the season.

Juventus’ Gianluigi Buffon has shut out opponents in 10 of his 16 Serie A matches this season, which included eight consecutive clean sheets (805 minutes) before conceding a goal in their 4-1 victory over Atalanta in their final game before the winter break.

Bayern Munich’s Manuel Neuer has kept 9 clean sheets in his 16 Bundesliga appearances this season. Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Marc-André ter Stegen is the only other goalkeeper in Germany’s top division to have at least 6 clean sheets so far this season.

The Premier League’s top goalkeepers at keeping clean sheets this season have been Arsenal’s Wojciech Szczęsny, Everton’s Tim Howard, Tottenham’s Hugo Lloris and West Ham’s Jussi Jääskeläinen, each with 8.

http://www.barriesview.com/2013/12/europes-top-5-leagues-2013-14-goalkeeper-stats

It is clearly not consecutive clean sheets and Enyeama is rated the number 1 keeper in Europe this season.[/b]

The truth is that, you guys underrate Mikel too much. Do you think Mourinho is joking at Chelsea? He just opened the door for Essien and Mata to leave. He would have dropped Mikel if he was a poor player.

Playing at Chelsea is not beans. Great players go there and fail. Including mid fielders like Mineiro, Oscar, Marin, De Bruyne, Gokhan Tore. For Mikel to be there, he must be special.

Coach Keshi has asked a lot of regular Super Eagles players like Taiwo, Osaze, Yobo, Uche Bros., Martins and many more but Mikel is still in the team wearing the number 10 shirt.

I trust Mikel, he will still shock you this year. Mark my words. I had this argued,went before the nations cup. Mikel doesn't fail.

MIKEL, PROVING HATERS WRONG SINCE 2003.

Do you understand the shame that took place when one of the worst decisions took place in the semi finals between Ghana and Burkina Faso. It was so shameful. CAF had to award Pitropa that award which should have gone to one of the tournament's winning squad member.

Pitropa was compensated.

By the way, you are saying the whole supersport studio were confused? Even when the stats of Mikel was being read out.

He helped his country to World Cup qualification and continued to impress at the Etihad, where his side finished as runners-up in both the Premier League and FA Cup last season.

Toure has continued where he left off and has already scored 11 times for Manuel Pellegrini's side during this campaign - establishing himself as one of the most dangerous free-kick takers in Europe.


See achievements men!!! They forgot to write the Indomie packs.. grin

All you people with low football knowledge.

Did you watch Milan vs Man utd in 2010? Only Ronaldinho was the man playing fine football in the Milan team

Before the match started, during the line up. Ronaldinho was licking his lips and smiling. You could tell he was saying in his mind, "I have never seen so many fresh fish in one gathering". He dribbled Evans so much till Sir, Alex Ferguson started threatening Evans. cheesy

You notice when Mikel does make a mistake or misplace a pass, because it's so rare for him to do so.

Mikel is the best screen in front of the defence that Chelsea have - and is one of the best in the world at this role.

It does lead people to wonder why he hasn't contributed more goals and assists, but given his role in the side it's safety first for Mikel.


Too accurate. I have never read an article of someone who really understands Mikel as this. Nice post success001.
Re: It Will Be A Criminal Act If Mikel Does Not Win African Player Of The Year by thegoodjoehunt(m): 2:17am On Jan 07, 2014
Mikel is also a big game player. His finest performance to date for the club came in the Champions League final, against Bayern Munich, the greatest night in Chelsea's history.

He was arguably man of the match on that day, although Didier Drogba's brilliant equaliser and cup-winning penalty kick overshadowed him on that day.

That's often the story for Mikel. A quiet, under-appreciated but crucial part of a trophy-winning side.
