Chelsea’s Club Legend Reveals. John Obi Mikel who has been in action regularly following the gross under-performance of first-choice midfield pair Fabregas and Matic, has been alleged to be one of the factors responsible for Chelsea’s slump in their current campaign.

Former English footballer, Alan Anthony Hudson, who began his footballing career with Chelsea, and played there for six years as well as the England national football team, has argued that John Obi Mikel is one of the factors responsible for Chelsea’s slump in their current campaign.

The Super Eagles star, has been in action regularly following the gross under-performance of first-choice midfield However, Mikel has failed to impress and it’s perhaps little coincidence that some of his appearances for the Blues have coincided with their poorest results of the campaign.

The midfielder started in the 3-1 loss to Everton, the 2-1 away defeat to FC Porto in the Champions League, the Capital One Cup elimination at the hands of Stoke City and last weekend’s 3-1 loss at Liverpool. He also featured for 45 minutes in the Blues’ 2-1 loss away at West Ham United., Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic. Alan Hudson believes that sub players like Mikel and under performing striker Diego Costa are the chief reason why the West Londoners are struggling this season.

“I think they need a facelift. You can’t carry on with players like John Obi Mikel, you need better players than that in midfield.

“They need a clearout of players. Branislav Ivanovic has been tremendous for them but he seems to have hit a brick wall at right back.

“When they bought Pedro from Barcelona at the start of the season I thought it would give Chelsea more width, with him on one side and Eden Hazard on the other, and they would open their game out a bit.

“They play through the middle too much and rely on Diego Costa up front too much. Costa, in my opinion, is nowhere near as good as people make him out to be,” Hudson told Reuters.http://www.ngtrends.com/2015/11/mikel-is-part-of-our-problem-chelseas-club-legend-reveals/......Lalasticala help d post carrier to fp.....

Though mikel isn't good

But am 100% sure he is not the reason behind problem

Like if u think so

You are there fixing blame while other teams dey perform.. But seriously, the way Chelsea dey lose matches this period ehnn, the way them dey go down dem fit discover crude oil o.

hey!! come to think of it some matches Chelsea lost actually came immediately Mikel is substituted....
like that of west ham...

Who does Arsenal blame Mikel I suppose
Inasmuch as he isn't in the best of form, Mikel is not the cause of Chelsea's defeats. The defence line is awful. Everything is wrong with the Blues.
Mourinho should try n resolve whatever it is between him & some (Chelsea) Ogas @ the top before they soil his CV. He should start with Wenger.

There's a saying that goes like this "To fight with everyone can result in shortage of pallbearers at your funeral"
Mourinho fought everyone from the team doctors to the ball boys.... Now tell me how Mikel happens to be the reason Chelsea slumped
Simply put........ Its Mourinho's fault not Mikel or any of the players....

I never really like Mikel's kindaf football... But this is bulshit.... I hate blames...

Chelsea's a big flop and Mikel isn't the only player playing all the games.... Midfielders ginger game with good passes... And mikel delivers upto 70% of accurate passes.... And why blame the niggur

This is bullshitting on blacks!

Lol very easy to blame africans. Mikel that has not played a major role for chelsea this season is now the problem..diarizgod oo
