abdulkayus: It still use to baffled me that its this same Mikel that was second to Messi in 2005 that he has now retrogress while Messi keep on progressing, law of inverse proportion. I felt pity and also partially blame Chelsea and Mourinho for his decline. Mikel is lazy and need to buckle up
NB. No b only mikel nd messi play dat tournament so until u cn mention d oda players thr dt r at d same level wit messi, stfu.

he should have left chelsea when he had the opportunity,wen Inter milan came for him,he could have utilized that opportunity then. But now,i think its too late,inter milan may not be interested in him again,after his beyond par performance at the world cup.

Sometimes we need to check that our supply of love for others is not depleted. Perhaps our gracefulness in our everyday life is lacking in how we treat our loved ones. How merciful are we when we come across those less fortunate than us? Do we need enriching? We will be blessed for the asking.

most of us watch football with lots of hate and stereotyped sentiments against Mikel Obi. Yes Mikel has his flaws as a player, but the Mikel in the Nigerian team to the worldcup dint play too bad as to the level of criticism meted on him. if u must know, the man of the match in the Nigeria vs Iran game was mikel obi. stop ur hate. if you think football is dat easy pls go get urself a Boot and Jersey and possibly play urself into the super eagles team.

Yes, Mikel was not on show at Brazil.

But that doesn't make him a flop. Mikel has been a fine player for years at Chelsea. He has given very many sterling performances for the SE. But he was not in his elements in Brazil. It happens to players sometimes and i'm not sure its fair to critisice him.

When Mikel started off, he was in the mold of an all out advanced playmaker. He was known for his dazzling skills and telepathic passes. Much like the Kelechi Iheanacho of today. But then he went to Chelsea and he was used in a very different role. He wwas also used in a way that made sure he was not a limelight player. His ability to add rock solid stability to the rear midfield id not in doubt.

You guys need to look back in time at his many fantastic performances and you'll discover that there was a trend. He was essentially the anchor of the teams he featured in. And because he was always doing the dirty job at the back no one really saw him. But everyone agrees that he was damn effective.

He was the cynosure of all eyes at the Afcon and even at the Confed. Nigerians always sang his praise that he was this and that. Now suddenly because he had a bad day in the office at Brazil, Mikel is suddenly a slow poke. Everyone suddenly remembers he passes to the back. Everyone remembers he doesn't bomb forward. Everyone remembers that he is slow. But this where the things that made him so effective in the past - Careful guided play. I think Nigerians need to begin to learn to stand by their players. Gerrard was once in this predicament yet no one crucified him. Drogba and C.Ronaldo were once in this frame. Messi in all his glory used to be an underperformer fro his National Side, yet his fans stood by him.

It is only in Nigeria, that a few mistakes is enough to make people forget the great many heroics of the past. Ironically, no Nigerian is any better than Mikel, and yet we all keep throwing blames. Its a pity.
God bless u.

Mike is average player..he doesn't fit for full Match
Re: Is John Obi Mikel A FLOP Or Just Been Overated By Chelsea Fans by Nobody: 1:28pm On Jul 03, 2014
tenny07: Mikel might be a success @ chelsea but he became a flop towards the end of last season when Jose saw him as second fidel to the likes of ramires, salah, willian and now Fab. But to his home country he is bull s**t cos I have not seen nigeria produce a play maker that can not move ball in pace or dribbling is passes are not that perfect we can see that in this year world that SE got eliminated to france who are not better to the SE in that game his passes were mostly intercepted by his opponent and it only became obvious when onazi got injure by Matuidi and was substituted that we all know Mikel was a flop in SE and for future SE. Mikel is a flop.
if truely mikel's flop in the game became visible after the departure of onazi, pls wat important role did that substitute Reuben play in that game. mikel became weak because he had no Onazi to complement his effort after the injury. if truely u understand the intricacies in football, u'l know that the mikel-onazi combination worked perfectly until after d injury to onazi.

Worst Player Ever is what Mikel is. Cannot even understand why he is been kept by Chelsea management. Worst player to be used when a team needed a win in any game.

Dont mind them! Nigerians really enjoy bringing others down for no reason, tho obvious reason is hatred sha...but at least they should ease this hatred a lil! Mikel is human like you and i, and he cannot always satisfy us! and y'all acting as if Mikel is one robot. How many of you can even kick a straight ball? and yet you keep the critics flowing in like you are all better than him.

I hope Mikel Obi can google "Mikel+Nigeria+Chelsea+Snail+Back Pass+Stephen Keshi+Super Eagles"
just to see the RESULTS of ABUSES AND CURSES.....

There is money sha, so he won't think of suicide.

Paretomaster:

So. Its Arsene wenger dat transform Pogba se? Pogba was made in United, he was in a haste to join d first team, and we have a no nonsense manager, so Mikel would have been a success Januzaj wait for his time, and its paying off.

Tell me just one player dat came out of Chelsea as a youngster,who went Ahead and become to world beater.

Did Ronaldo become a flop at United? If u are good u r good.
why una dey change topic like this to suit una argument, i am talking of how SAF doesnt give a chance to african players to prove themselves, i gave an example of fortune,manucho and djemba djemba n you are talking about ronaldo(a white guy), right from time, chelsea have good relationship with african players and most of them have excel there, mikel was hyped to stardom cos he has a recognize football agent(john shittu). pogba didnt even play a full match in man u when he was signed from a french team before he left for juventus, juventus made pogba not man u, Fyi,john terry is from chelsea academy, lampard was bought made world class by chelsea just like c. ronaldo in man u, petre cech and arjen robben too was made world class by chelsea

get back to the kitchen if You can't stand criticism of a semi-average player. Stop pulling the clichéd line of 'he's making money You're hating'. Mikel is paid to be a good player and not to be human like You and I.. Mind You millions of Nigerians are far better than he is, not all of us feel comfortable faking our ages.
