Mikel Does Not Deserve Nigeria No. 10 Jersey - Etim Esin by surawilly(m): 11:43am On Jul 07, 2014
Former Nigeria star Etim Esin has disclosed that Super Eagles midfielder John Obi Mikel is not worthy of putting on the is not worthy wearing Nigeria's number 10 jersey following his below par outing at the ongoing 2014 Fifa World Cup.
Esin who wore the country's national team respected jersey number between 1988 and 1992 lambasted Mikel after his disappointing display that led to the country's exit in the round of 16 to France.

"Mikel was a big flop in Brazil. He wears Nigeria’s No.10 jersey but he did not show he is worthy of wearing it at the big stage like the World Cup,” Esin told NigeriaNewsWatch.

"He rose to the occasion in South Africa but in Brazil he was not committed and ended up as a monumental disaster.

"Look at how other players who wore No.10 jerseys for their respective countries have been playing including Messi, Neymar, Sneijder and the young chap from Colombia, James Rodriquez.

"He failed to carry Eagles along as the pilot of the team. Have you seen a No.10 that did not make a goal attempt let alone of scoring. Jokes apart, Mikel has not shown he deserves to wear our No.10 jersey."

He however called on the former Flying Eagles midfielder to improve his game and follow the path of the country's legends like Henry Nwosu and Austin Okocha who shone wearing the jersey number during their active days for Super Eagles.

"He should go and watch the video clips of Henry Nwosu and Jay Jay Okocha including my humble self and get some tutorials on how they played as Nigeria’s No.10. You must be special to wear the No.10 jersey and for me, has not done anything special.

"While Musa and Osaze were busy taking all the free kicks and corner kicks he was idle strolling in the pitch. As soon as Onazi was stretchered out, he was exposed.

"I don’t have anything against Mikel, when he came into limelight I was one of the first person that tipped him for greatness but I am amazed that he has yet to live up to expectations and I am highly disappointed.

“There is no doubt that he is a good player having shown his qualities in the past, but he has to raise his game at the moment considering the fact that he plays for a big club like Chelsea or else he would continue to warm their bench. I am giving him this advice for his own personal interest,” he concluded.

Seconded.

I look at Messi, Diego Maradona, pele, Wayne Rooney and my Darling Neymar.

Then look at Mikel in the same number 10. undecided

Mikel was Keshi's number one mistake. If Van Gaal can remove RVP and swap keepers effortlessly, then what is so difficult in removing Mikel the non-performer? I'll never forget how ESPN commentators were hailing Osaze, Musa, Onazi, Emenike, and Dr. Chief Mr. Engr. Prof. Warrior Enyeama, but questioning Mikel's role or purpose on the field and his lack of speed or direction. He was embarrassing and should've been left to watch SE from a tv at White Castle Hotel.

He shouldn't even be in the team. The-father-of-all-snails is got to be the most casual footballer in the world..

Strolls around like he is in his popsy's palour. The truth is he isn't proud 2 wear our jersey and at such should not show up 4 us again..

The only thing that lives me wondering is why Keshi never chose to drop him even once, against d backdrop of all that shambolic display.

I've never seen a number 10 who's as slow as a tortoise and passes the ball to defenders 85% of the time.
