Don Mikel Obi.
Anywhere i go, anywhere il be, il always tell Chelsea fans that Mou is the reason mikel's career is the way it is. Changed his position 10years ago to benching him for months cos of the i want to win all mentality. A mentality Mikel definitely didnt look like fufilling in his own warped opinion. I want all Chelsea fans to just agree with this fact cos its obvious to the whole world.


At the start of the season, i said Mikel would still get more game time than Fabregas/Matic. It looks like its about happening. See the stats on him today. Making Busquets look like an academy guy.

Mikel your time has come.


Who knows if its one of the reasons Mou was booted out. Just saying.

Funny how some folks now think nothing is wrong with our midfield 'cos we won convincingly today.

Seeing comments like "Thisame bad midfield won today" is quite baffling.

In which world is a pivot of Mikel and Fabregas gold?

We've got injury and suspension to thank for today's victory. It was obvious Palace in the absence of Bolasie, Wickham and Cabaye lacked firepower. We've got Pardew to thank for deciding not to overload the midfield which would have seen Cesc and Mikel getting genuinely tested in the middle of the park Finally, we've got Hiddink to thank for once again doing what he knows how best to do.

Today's victory doesn't and shouldn't rule out the obvious fact that we have a phucked midfield.

Yeah Palace didnt have their big guns around, but hiddink having faith in mikel shows how myopic Mou was. This guy is good.

I've been preaching this sermon for years now. That mikel is good, but mou did something that made him what he is today. We have no choice than accept. Backpasses, blah blah. Mikel would be pivotal to Chelsea's survival this campaign. What i want is for Guus to prove so well to Mou that he wasnt looking well for benching mikel. The fans are all over mikel now. Even costa as well.



He might have scared in some games with his play, but it happens to others too and they dont get vilified the way mikel does. Game Reader- The tag given to Iniesta by Guardiola. Viola!! Jeka durodola ama rira

See all the rubbish I am reading here:

So Mikel is now the golden boy.

Mikel is making Busquet look an academy guy.

Mikel is a don.

Mikel is playing at Ozil's level.

LOL! Chelsea fan! Chai!! grin

Una see? See as everybody, fans and rivals inclusive dey praise Chelsea and commend players on a very beautiful display.

When I criticized ultra-defensive football, some fellas be on my case, accusing me of calling for tiki-taka. As if there cannot be a thousand iterations between tiki-taka and football by 'defenders of the galaxy'. . .


How do you assemble a multi million pound team and game after game, these players are defending by the goal-post, taught to worry about the minor opposition, prevented from expressing themselves and hoping for counter attacks to create chances?

I tell you right now, the players are enjoying themselves and automatically feel inspired and motivated, by allowing them to express themselves within a tactical attacking plan - taking the game to Palace at an away ground.

I am all for pragmatism but only when there is a genuine superior opposition.

I still say the lapses in the defence are still there, the midfield is still fragile and against superior opposition, we will see just how fragile we are. We need fixing that.

However when we show up against the likes of Norwich, Bournemouth, et al, we should be setting fear in them with our sheer class and blowing them away.

What are you saying bro? Don't lemme think you are only a mourinho fan and not a Chelsea fan. Today's match is the best Chelsea's performance this season forget the scoreline and palace absentees.
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by TheGoodJoe(m): 11:15pm On Jan 03, 2016
Why is Mikel putting up a man of the match performance giving people heartache? Why is it painful to people that fans are screaming Mikel's name?

More to come from the African Zidane.

At all....I wasn't talking about the team or coach....
I was referring to Mikel and Oscar fanboys.....Because its sure as death that they will still blow up this month....

Have forgotten Mourinho was sacked sef.... Iyen ti lo

Is it too difficult to say, Mikel did well in this game? Kick hating out and just admit it, "I never knew Mikel could perform this way. Mikel was wonderful today."



Say it and the hate you feel today, you shall not feel it again.

It is not true. I have received bashes on this thread for saying Oscar is a good player. I have received bashes on Nairaland for insisting Mikel is a very good player.

Mikel will get better under Guus Hiddink. This is just the beginning.
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by raumdeuter: 11:29pm On Jan 03, 2016
When we say Mourinho is the problem folks are doing backward gymnastic to defend the indefensible

Saying all the midfield in the league are better than Chelsea.

If mourinho was coach today, He would set up to contain Palace, Should it not be Palace that would be tweaking their tactics when playing Chelsea.

If you are playin counter attack vs Palace, Sunderland or Norwich or waiting for their mistake then that coach is a tool

The worst thing that can happen to punditry is to leave it to Nigerians to handle.

Jose's tactics is now the problem?

WTF where you last season when thisame Mourinho was breezing past teams?

Why is it hard for ninjas to understand that lack of depth, imbalances and a revolt which sored the atmosphere at Chelsea triggered our downslide?

Lazy football pundits must clean up their act.

Well you could see mikels game today, he exuded confidence and hardlyr put any foot wrong. When I learnt hiddink arrived London after mou sack I knew there would be rejuvenation. Mikel is not a crap as many believe, I have said it here , I will rather call him a typical African player who's contented with his little achievement and go to sleep. Now hiddink has brought him back to life and not only him. If you r a true Chelsea fan you should wish he builds on this for the benefit of the team. Because if you are looking forward to his flopping, which will definitely affect the team, I don't think that's fair. I had my fear on zouma but gradually he is proving me wrong and It will be irresponsible to be praying for his decline.

Hiddink stated this :

"He's the ideal player in my option to bring balance to the team. If the team is not willing to defend well, or hasn't got the right balance, then you'll concede a lot of goals.

"I think John Obi can be one of the key figures in bringing back that balance.

"On this podium very talented players can explore their qualities.

"He can recover his radar, he reads the game very well, he knows where the strength of the opponent is and knows how to combat that. He has very good sense, he doesn't do it in a brutal way, he's very elegant.

it wasnt just one good game. It was an effective game. Pundits and fans arent helping to show this is just a part of what mikel can do. Are the fans crazy for comparing so fast with legends of the middle pack?

Good win. Chelsea will rise again. Self belief and morale will improve with each game. No more tension in the dressing room.
Performance don't lie. We now have a manager who listens to his players and allows his boys express themselves. It can only get better.

Lack of depth and imbalances suddenly got fixed or better managed in the last 4 games

4 games on the trot and Chelsea is yet to lose a game. Something that was happening every weekend before

When was the last time Chelsea went 2 games without conceding? even when playing Bournemouth, Norwich and Newcastle

Mourinho that would enter the field against Newcastle playing like an underdog or face Aston Villa and be bunkering down expecting them to make mistakes

Superior teams force opponents into mistakes and enforce their tactics on the weaker opposition. A team like Chelsea should be forcing their will on Crystal Palace. Not waiting for Palace to make mistakes and playing defensive.

Even though the changes wont happen in all games, anyone can see the marked improvement in the Chelsea of the last 2 weeks and the clueless ones playing earlier

Out of sheer hatred, you can say what ever you want to. Just know that your opinion doesnt count. Mourinho is still the best coach this club have ever had. Very soon he'll get another big job in a big club while you are here spitting bollocks.

It might be because of my hatred that made his beloved club sack him not once but twice. Abramovich must be feeding off my hatred too.

When Mourinho goes to another team and they face Chelsea, you are free to support that team against Chelsea.
When Mourinho goes to Man Utd, start supporting Man Utd and hope they beat your chelsea.
Its known that most Chelsea fans are plastic to start with

Some of you are even hoping Chelsea keeps losing so that your Mourinho can be vindicated

The joke is if you believe this is the only good game Mikel will have this season.




“It’s balance,” Hiddink said. “If we have three very creative players [in midfield] … it’s possible but in this league, it’s difficult. That’s why we look for the balance. John Obi is the ideal player to bring balance back to the team.

“Previously Chelsea conceded a lot of goals and you can say that the four defenders are not doing their jobs. But if the team is not willing to defend well, or does not have the right balance, then you concede a lot of goals. John Obi can recover the ball and he reads the game very well. A player who can defend so smoothly, for me, is beautiful to see.”
