Making player comparisons with trophies won is a very stupid thing to do. Trophies are a result of a collective effort and not individual effort. Players no dey carry the trophy go house.

To compare players, use individual awards, statistics and abilities.

Also, you compare oliseh to viera, Keane,all makalele...not Mikel.

Absolutely. It is sad that football is turning to this...

Can we say Mikel is better than Gerrard and co just because he won more trophies than they did?

Trophies are meant for teams, not individual players.

It's like saying any Lagosian is richer than any Ebonyi citizen because Lagos is more prosperous... It's just dumb!

Mikel any day when you compare ths calibre of matches and playees he played with and against. Coupled with the fact he played in numerous successful finals.

Played against the likes of Scholes, Xabi Alonso, Xavi etc.

Also being a star performer in our AFCON success.

Incontrovertible fact!

In every sense, Mikel is not in the class of Oliseh from the role in terms of (1) super eagle captainship, (2) loyalty to the nation and (3) natural leadership.

Not true. Mikel operated at the highest level of club football for so long and was an outstanding performer in our AFCON success. Greater than Oliseh is Mikel.

Mikel should not be compared to Oliseh ( Pascal Ogiikwe never had quality playing time because of Sunny), either on field of play., leadership quality... Mafia generation if you know you know.

Indomie generation might doubt Yak , but I salute Yak even after missing that golden opportunity to score in that famous miss of his during the world cup; he summoned courage to convact a penalty kick in that same match...Yes ! Olise is far ahead of Mikel when it comes to that defense middle -fielder role

How is Oliseh far ahead?

Mikel did well in Champions League, FA cups, Multiple EPL big games. A key player in a very successful chelsea and capped it with a brilliant AFCON as a standout player for Nigeria.

So how is Oliseh greater?

Why will any one compare Oliseh with any defensive mid-field player in Nigeria?

Na Jose Mourinho Spoil Mikel Obi Football & Career. Mikel's Normal Position Was 10, He Was A Good Passer Like Fabregas Of Arsenal Den But Mourinho Misused Mikel Obi By Putting Him In Defensive Midfield Ever Since Den Mikel Obi Lost His Style Of Play. If He Had Come 2 Manu Den Under Sir Alex Ferguson, His Style Of Play Would Av Been Great.

Oliseh also won AFCON. And even made another final.

Oliseh also played against Maradina, Caniggia, Batistuta, Baggio, Raul, Rijkaard etc.

You are talking about World Cup and a period. Mikel reigned at Chelsea for over a decade playing regularly in the Champions League. Getting far in Europe.

In the Afcon, Mikel did not just win but was a star player for the Nigerian side.

We are talking about playing large number of Champions League games, getting to two. Finals. Being a key player in the Europa league triumph. Multiple fa Cup finals.

One of the most capped foreigners in the history of a club like chelsea during their most dominant period.
