Whats with all the articles about Mikel on here?.
They are even talking about him on talksports! last week they were talking about Carrick as the most underrated English holding midfielder owing to his style of play _ possession.
Can someone tell me how Carrick's style of play is different from Mikel???
Carrick never passes forward if there is no need so does Mikel. I bet if we were to swap Chelsea fans on here would be happy.. Romeu basically does the same thing...
Mikel passes side ways all the time... blah blah then some one wrote an article that he cant do the simple things well loooool talk about hating on a player for reasons other than football..
If Mikel scores goals, no one would talk. Ever wonder why Carrick was never successful in England? _ no one appreciates a holding midfielder simples.
Hopefully he leaves the club.
Another common theme on here is that a player has no premier league experience lol. So when we try to sign Victor Moses, everyone is complaining but we sign Oscar, same age as Moses for 25mill , who has never played in the league albeit a top player!!.. No wonder, Wigan are not ready to accept just any offer from Chelsea.

I've seen Romeu take one or two touches to spread the ball around and start the play but instead Mikel uses his strength to hold the ball or get a freekick and slow everything down. Mikel only thrives in 9 0 1 formations. Its not hard to see it Mikel slows down the play and consistently gives the ball away. Stop defending him.

Romeo isn't fast either. I have seen Romeo play and to be honest, he is not ready. Maybe a run of games will help him but he isn't any faster. Mikel is known for one - touch simple football. And to Morinho's point.."Mikel plays simple football, which is really the hardest" Those were the words of the special one. Just because he doesnt do something extra ordinary doesnt mean he is useless

Why do people defend mikel so much. He earns probably 80 grand a week for putting in terrible performances and lack of energy.
I wish we had carrick.
Fergie, Mancini, wenger or any of the other top 6 would play mikel. Because he can't play football.

Mikel does play simple football, just not very well.
I remember our double winning season, best thing that happened for Chelsea fc was mikel getting injured and ballack stepping in.
Just like last year we stopped conceding when we put lampard and miereles deep to help mikel out.

Just coz Mourinho says something that doesnt mean hes right. Romeu have faster reactions and better vision than Mikel which makes him a better player than Mikel. Are we forgeting that Romeu is 20 and will onl get better. I really dont understand all this love for Mikel.

Carrick uses his passing ability to good effect from deep, If he sees a pass is on he will play It immediately.
Mikel dithers on the ball too much.
