Former Super Eagles coach Samson
Siasia believes that John Obi Mikel has
a 'larger than life attitude' that is costing
the national team.
Mikel has been under the
microscope,with many criticising his
display while putting on the Nigerian
jersey.
Siasia who coached Mikel both in the
under 20 team and the Super
Eagles,noted that the Chelsea midfield
is arrogant and cannot be talked into
how well to be beneficial to the team.
"Someone would have to talk to him.
But to talk to Mikel, you have to be
ready for your own beating," the former
national team coach told
AfricanFootball.com
Mikel's displays for Nigeria has been
mediocre with many even clamouring
for him to be dropped.
In the last two Nations Cup qualifiers
against Congo and South Africa,he
once again failed to step up and lift his
side when faced with difficulties in the
games.
Siasia believes that Mikel should be
able to learn from the criticisms he is
getting and improve his game.
"From what we have seen and what
people are talking about, they don't
think he is giving his best. But he
should be able to criticise himself,"
argued the coach.
"He should do a self-critique. If he
believes he is not doing well, he has to
try and up his game.
“He has been watching the games from
the World Cup, if he thinks he is not
doing well, why is he not scoring, he
has to be able to look at those videos
and see the areas he needs to improve
on.
"Nobody has to tell him. He is a
professional. So, I am not going to
criticise him. He has done well for this
country but if he is not doing well like
he used to, then something has to be
done."
"As a defensive midfield player, it
doesn't mean you should not go
forward or try to take some shots at
goal. (Nemanja) Matic is doing it,
Ramires is doing it, so how come Mikel
is not doing it? Why can’t he cover the
box-to-box play. If you don't get into
the box, you can never shoot at goal.
So, that is his problem.”

True talk tho that's why mourinho said mikel has a bright future ahead at the beginning of the season...and its is a known fact that when mourinho says a player has a brighter future ahead,the player is not fit for his team .
