So does missing afcons diminish Mikel's legendary status?? Looolllll EOD.

Looolll... Words are not even mine.... Skysports, BBC, and other world soccer pundits and top analysts said so... Jamie redknapp (i think) was one of several who said Mikel was "putting out fires all over the pitch against bayern". He singled out Mikel... Same with many others... So yes, HE WAS THE REASON COZ CHELSEA HARDLY ATTACKED THAT DAY. THEY DEFENDED. LOOLLLL.....

So plss you can take it up with skysports, bbc and every other media house on the ucl final 2012... Looolllll

Mikel-hater... Not good on u bruv... Loolll

Mhen you are a genius. So in your words, Mikel scored the equalizer for Chelsea, Mikel saved the Bayern penalties that were saved that night. Mikel played all the 11 positions for Chelsea that night.
In fact Mikel was the coach self.

You seem to be confusing things, yes in his own right Mikel is a Nigerian legend but saying Conte is punishing him for representing Nigeria at the Olympics is pure opaks.

I remember reading Conte being adamant about Matic's stay at the Bridge during preseason that should tell you how integral he is to the coach's plan. Mikel was at Chelsea when Essien came, he was displaced, same scenario with Matic and now Kante and yet you folks are finding baseless excuses for Mikel's inability to make the first team when the team is doing well in his absence.

Going back to the tabloid you are using as reference, is it not a testament of Mikel's superb skills and relevance that majority were seeking a Fabregas recall during the early part of the season when Chelsea were struggling instead of a Mikel recall.

The duo of Matic and Kante sh.it on Mikel in the current set up, so he should man up and wait his time or go out to where he will get regular football.

Last bit, Lord Kante over Mikel any day any time.

TheSuperNerd:
Answer these and yours might be considered...

You forget i asked you first huh? Looollll

Where was Mikel huh?? Care I ask where our
legendary Okocha and Kanu were when we
failed to go Germany 2006?
Does that in anyway diminish their stars as
legends of the game?
What about Messi? Where was he when Bravo
and Chile beat them twice in two years to win
the copa america?? Does that diminish Messi's
talents and relevance as status as the world's
finest??

Of course it doesn't diminish their status, Messi is yet to win the World Cup but for me it doesn't change the fact that he is the best in his generation.
Now since you are saying individual players can not be held responsible for a team's failure why are you saying Mikel is responsible for Chelsea's Champions League triumph over Bayern? Add that to the questions to be answered.

TheSuperNerd:
Keep deceiving yourself... The truth has been said... ROHR IS NO LIAR. LOOOLLLL

You've been unable to answer questions posed to you?

1) Why is Oscar, Fabregas, Loftus Cheek, John Terry, Willian not in the first 11 of recent?

Are they been punished for playing at the Olympics as well?

2) Loftus Cheek and Mikel were both praised during preseason and since according to you it's a criterion for a player to be in the first eleven, why is Loftus Cheek not playing?

edi287:
Again, did you watch Italy at the euros?? Conte said the same thing about fabregas, is he starting?? If a player of Fabregas quality isn't in the first 11, then I don't think anyone should complain about Mikel not making the first 11.
How exactly is mikel better than Matic in CONTE'S 3-4-3. Conte likes energetic and aggressive players - Is Mikel more energetic and aggressive than Matic??
Does Mikel cover more ground than either Kante or Matic??

Are you minding him? Comparing Mikel with Lord Kante? It's like comparing sex appeal between Jennifer Lopez and Chika Ike.

Shoe get size, Ikebe get quality.

TheSuperNerd:
So mikel and loftus cheek are mates in football?? Chaiiii... Loolll

Calm your titties man, during preseason Loftus Cheek was praised like Mikel (since you are using the praise as a justification of why he should be in the first team). Currently Loftus Cheek is not making the bench and it points out to one thing only he doesn't seem to be suitable for the current system and why change things if it's not broken.
That Mikel is not playing is not the fault of the coach, the people in his position are delivering consistently so why should Mikel play?

TheSuperNerd:
Loooolllll..... Mikel was a youngster mister... It's normal for youngsters to sometimes get exuberant or overzealous on the field of play. Same thing happened to messi on his debut for argentina and even Rooney is not left out.

As they matured, you saw how different they turned out.

And dont you dare discredit Mikel's impact in that 2012 final.... Dont!!! Sky sports, BBC, and other top media houses gave me full credits that day and we all saw his influence that day. Unless you didnt watch the game. Most of the bayern attacks ended at his feet... Respect that guy abeg.

Where was Mikel huh?? Care I ask where our legendary Okocha and Kanu were when we failed to go Germany 2006?

Does that in anyway diminish their stars as legends of the game?

What about Messi? Where was he when Bravo and Chile beat them twice in two years to win the copa america?? Does that diminish Messi's talents and relevance as status as the world's finest??

Funny questions you ask... Looollll


And Mikel's is different because our own coach has confirmed from his visit to chelsea fc that "Mikel's Rio participation" is the major and possibly only reason why Conte shut out Mikel...

100mikels no reach half of who?? Looollll... That is it. It's obvious you are the sentimental one... Probably a chelsea fan or attached to one of the foreign clubs cos you just cant seem to get ur foreign clubs allegiance outta the way to see the truth.

100 MIKELS < HALF OF KANTE... LOOOLLLLLL

THEGOODJOE... I DON HEAR JOKE OF THE WEEK...

Nobody is discrediting Mikel's impact in the Bayern game, I'm only telling you every Chelsea player on the pitch that day gave it their all, so it's not like Mikel is responsible for Chelsea's victory.
So we can't hold Mikel responsible for Nigeria's non appearance at the nations cup but we can appropriate the Champions League glory to him alone? Nice one.

You are comparing Mikel with Kante, the Mikel who only knows how to pass backwards, the great Mikel slowbis? Even Mikel won't dare compare himself to Kante.

Wadafok! The ladies are the ones vociferous with this yes response.

A lot of karishikas who can't take responsibility for their actions and inactions. Nonsense

TheSuperNerd:
Mikel is far better than Matic in that role in the 3-4-3 system... Take it or leave it.

On a superb run, they are... Yes... But Mikel was Conte's choice at the beginning of preseason... Conte just dissed him coz of Rio.

I dont know why you Foreign clubs loyalists wont dump your club allegiances and see the truth. Na wa... *smh*

Why is Conte dissing Loftus Cheek even though it appeared he was going to be regular in the first team this season?

Let me guess he also played at the Olympics too right?

TheSuperNerd:
Taaaa!!!!! Another lie!!!

Mikel in and out of which team??

Mikel starred in every title won by Chelsea in his almost 11 yrs at the club except for the 2014/15 season when Mikel hugged the bench like he owned it thanks to Mourinho.

**Some Examples**

UCL 2012: Mikel was the reason Chelsea stopped the rampaging Bayern attacks

English FA cup 2007: Mikel's first FA cup... He started the move and pass to lampard that freed up Drogba to score.

Mikel went on to star in 2 more finals and won them... In all he won Four FA cups at Chelsea.

EPL 2009/2010: Under Ancelloti, Chelsea won the EPL and who was the main man in midfield for Chelsea?? Mikel man!!! Same Mikel you call an "in-and-out" player at Chelsea.... Do you watch football at all??!!!!! (I could go on and on)

Goodness me!!!

What about for Nigeria at Afcon 2013, he was a bit part player also right??

IT'S YOU WHO'S SENTIMENTAL BRUV... SIR BLUETO IS ON POINT.

The same Mikel that was chopping red card steady when he first joined?

I guess Mikel played all the positions against Bayern Munich in the final you mentioned.

Where was Mikel when Nigeria failed to qualify for 2 consecutive nations cup?

Better players than Mikel are chopping the Chelsea bench and no one is complaining why is Mikel own different.

Bros! No talk that thing wey you talk before say Mikel better pass Kante o., 100 Mikels no reach ¹/² Kante.

Edakun! is there a barber around?

Lolllll at some of the posts here.

Mikel is better than Kante? The same Mikel that has been in and out of the Chelsea team in his 11 years at the club...

Oscar is chopping the bench, Willian, Fabregas, Terry even Loftus Cheek who got a lot of praises from Conte during preseason. I guess they are all under punishment for playing at the Olympics.

Bunch of sentimental dindinrins

Drive in Ibadan. A born-again christain will not know when foul words begin to flow from his or her mouth. Those micra's and marwa are something else

Hahaha and Ibadan folks can curse...

Imagine my surprise when I heard a couple of kids playing say to one another 'abi o fe tokula ni' (Do you want to taste death)? Catch fear me that day.

After he failed to pull out, he is now claiming born again.
Not happening

It's a shame we can't have a local company's name crested on our Jerseys, we seem to know too much but aren't learning enough - we cease every little opportunity to display that we still are ignorant of what we seem to have known.

Our journey is still a long walk from here!

Bros nawa for you o, Nike is an American company and they sure design jerseys for a lot of nations more advanced than Nigeria.

Your view made sense sha but I will like if we are food, oil, cloth self dependent before we start talking of other things.

We really need to start flogging this senile old men every time they open their mouths to utter garbage.

Ayam not understanding what this man is saying at all. Honezli.

Jesus Christ! How can man be so wicked to his fellow human

The guy is an iddiot, a pathetic excuse for a human being. Rubbish.

I like the way you think.

At least she is looking normal relative to the lady Gaga I know. That's a positive.

One thing Hilary and Buhari supporters have in common is violence. Why protest the outcome of an election you lost fair and square? The law is clear on how you become the president of the USA.

Na so! I still don't know what is violent in the scene above for you to have drawn conclusions.

Off to Botswana, no time to waste

Nigeria politicians are a joke. Smh

Bang bang

This is breathtaking

Cecediva:
You should always know when to talk. I replied you in that manner because your comment was unfounded.

Good night too.

A third eye. Nice one, although it's still possible that the op is saying the truth. Let's not cast the op away until proven otherwise.

If the op is lying, it's on the op's head.

Of course that possibility can not be ruled out but creating a new profile and then creating this kind of thread less than 48 hours later will definitely raise doubts. Abi no be this nairaland we dey when one female moniker dey create thread upandan about one recruiter wey see make she come hotel before they burst am say she be male.

Cecediva:
Mr man, if you are not sure of something you better shut up.

As much as I will love to put you in your place, I'll just let things slide. All I'm going to say to you is cultivate the habit of speaking to people politely.

Have a good night.
