Mikel Is Part Of Our Problem – Chelsea’s Club Legend Reveals by kingjizzy2(op): 7:29pm On Nov 05, 2015
Mikel Is Part Of Our Problem – 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 pair, Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic.

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.
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.

How many games have Mikel played this season to be the problem. In the game against Everton and Liverpool, Mourinho pulled out Mikel and Chelsea conceded two goals in a short time.

They should not worry, Mikel will soon leave them.
Re: Mikel Is Part Of Our Problem – Chelsea’s Club Legend Reveals by Nobody: 8:04am On Nov 06, 2015
Most of the games he mentioned, Mikel didn't complete or came in as a substitute..

The red head Anglo-Saxon is a scaliwag and a bloody racist..

Matic and Fabregas are playing below par in midfield. Matic is easily dribbled and all he does is to hold a player like holding his GF.

Players like begovic, Terry, Cahill, Matic, Fabregas, hazard, Oscar and Costa are the greatest culprit here....

Biased and perturbed analysis by the so called Chelsea legend.

How can someone that spent more time on the bench than field be the problem. Not once did he mention the major problem which is their coach.
Re: Mikel Is Part Of Our Problem – Chelsea’s Club Legend Reveals by damton(m): 9:34am On Nov 06, 2015
it is irresponsible and insensitive of anyone and more so someone who can be described as a pundit to heap the blame of a teams woe on one single player. Let alone someone who has served the team faithfully for years.

No good manager or pundit would like to pinpoint a particular player out that way.
perhaps there's more to this remarks than meet the eyes.
Re: Mikel Is Part Of Our Problem – Chelsea’s Club Legend Reveals by Nobody: 9:34am On Nov 06, 2015
Shut up.
Mikel Obi who married to the bench is your problem ??

More like saying that New York is in Nigeria.

Bad market for Mikel

I suggest this man is trying to bring racism here.
Re: Mikel Is Part Of Our Problem – Chelsea’s Club Legend Reveals by SaiBuharii: 9:34am On Nov 06, 2015
Mikel is a lazy player scared of challenges, thus underutilizing his potential.
Re: Mikel Is Part Of Our Problem – Chelsea’s Club Legend Reveals by NOBODYY: 9:35am On Nov 06, 2015

Mikel has always been a "receive and pass the ball back" player, not a quality midfielder - How he managed to make Chelsea keep him there for ever I don't know.

mikel is a good player, but I think he is too scared on the ball, he likes passing back too much maybe so he won't make a wrong pass, anyway if he plays with confidence without pressure then he should be able to come good..........

this legend is just saying what he thinks, everyone is entitled to his opinion, don't you think wink

Re: Mikel Is Part Of Our Problem – Chelsea’s Club Legend Reveals by SouthernGuy(m):
This has to be one of the most irresponsible and prejudiced comment coming from the so-called club legend. John Mikel Obi is not the problem of Chelsea, it is more collective than individual. Even if we want to call out individuals, It starts with Jose, then Maybe Hazard, Fabregas, Costa, Matic and not forgetting the recently-injured Ivanonic, they have grossly under performed. The loss of Courtois can be mentioned too. Just 2 players have stood out this season and its Willian and Azpilicueta.

Heck, I don't fancy Mikel( he isn't the player Nigerians hoped he'll become), even Chelsea as a whole but Alan Hudson shouldn't be allowed to make unreasonable comments like this because it's utter falsehood.
