the negativity about mikel mostly under 4-3-3 formation..the previous formation that we play without any creativity..so everyone expect mikel to perform some attacking treat and playmaker roles..

under the new 4-2-3-1 formation..with 3 No. 10 playing at once..we dont need him to attack..but we need him to defend..that is why we saw mikel now becoming a key part in the formation..

mikel now is a better player..no doubt..but maybe not for long..with romeu current performance...still raw..but promising...

this january falcao..after world cup 2014..neymar..neymar can play LW..so not a big problem..

Still the same, i would say 60% of the ball reach his leg, he is going to lose it, but he work hard for the team and he score goals so no complain.


superb strike, need to teach TORRES a bit, he miss a lot of kick infront of goal already

As long as he dont do his walking pace game i think he did fine, but to play as CHELSEA DM i think he need to offer more, by just covering is not enough, as we got 2 past great DM in MAKELELE and ESSIEN where they cover, they press and most important they win back ball. RAMIRES has it but he dont have MIKEL height, strength and he tend go up field more. At the moment i think for tough games MIKEL + RAMIRES is the way, while LAMPARD can mix with either one to provide more firepower for games against lesser team which we expect to win. Dont dismiss LAMPARD, he still can provide those cutting edge pass and score goal. We would not have won UCL without his assist. Lastly i really hope MIKEL can up his tempo and offer more pressing and intercept.

ya we need a natural CF that can work well upfront in the middle.

guys b4 we are getting any FW.
Our pivot problem needed to be fixed.
we need super accurate passer like the xabi alonso or pirlo. these is what we are lacking off now.
really miss ballack.

boss it was mata who assists drogba

it was torres who give chelsea a corner.

+1 he tried to shoot without pass the keeper, at least these are effort, previously is abit annoying he tried to pass the keeper to shoot, that made him looks not confident enough, although now also din score alot but.. better i can say.. jus still easy lose ball..

that match determine how good is RDM vs AVB.

i wan AVB to stop crying on how Chelsea betrayed him...

+1

AVB should prove that Roman is wrong for sacking him with his team performance.

Whats wif Cole?? Should delete his twitter account if he keeps on tweeting with his foul mouth... Someday, he can be a liabiity to Chelsea squad if he's off pitch problem keep on coming...

error in Juventus game was his mistake, he already admitted it and apologized.
yes, mikel is not the same player u mentioned, thats why he's still having zero goal, though he did provide nice long pass before, i still remember his long pass to anelka before.
defensive wise he did win back the ball. just i think his role always being defensive. so he rarely intercept opponent pass like ramires did.

i does not mean the UCL final itself, like the game vs BARCA, 1st leg he did a great vision pass to RAM that assist for DROGBA. 2nd leg the thru ball to RAM which he did a wonderful lob

so much for freedom of speech there.

^
LOL at both dived.
no wonder Pulis so rage asking to ban Suarez.

Spur is a different team than Chelsea, he could be better at there.

Don't understand him liao... if he did something wrong or want to say something stupid that even can tarnish his 100th cap as England player, better just keep it to himself rather than let the whole world knowing how stupid u r thru twitter... Simply stupid lah...

Added on October 8, 2012, 12:23 pmhave to admit, Spurs form need to be worry... furthermore, AVB want to proof that he is still the right man for the job..

and both didnt get any yellow card for diving. so much inconsistencies.

I dun think there is anything wrong with his tweet.
he is speaking the truth and FA is buthurt about it.
FA just proof his point there.

Anyway I think he is angry against FA calling him a liar.
Most of the ex-manager of chelsea and even Capello on terry sides.
Who is the 1 who tarnish Chelsea name and England name? it is FA themselves.

Ya i also remember MIKEL do some long range pass in his early days and even some surging run with his OK dribbling, he also used to play as AMC with NIGERIA. But hopping him to provide assist like ALONSO is just too much to ask, there is not much DM that can pass like ALONSO anyway. His game is not about assist or goal, as long he did those press, cover, intercept then is fine. The only way for him to get goal will be improve his long shot, ESSIEN has a few thunderbolt but i cant really remember MAKELELE scoring either.

suruh uncle ballack back to chelsea for passing coaching.
btw alonso is also the reason torres score a lots when he is in liverpool.
