Diegoal....

seems like cuadrado need a bit time to gel with the team. noticed Jose shouted at him on few occasions due to not track back after losing the ball.

dont really like him taking the freekick. corners okay la. past few times his corner lead to goal.
still prefer if fabregas or oscar takes it.. don't know why fabregas don't take much freekicks

i like the yellow jersey

Sad to say, Mikel will never be the same player anymore. Due to the modern football, DMF nowadays nid to be quick in closing down and play at a high tempo, that's why players like Vidal, Matic, Matuidi, Schweinsteiger, Khedira are successful, coz they have the energy and can play at high tempo or quick passing game.

But during Mikel's prime, he played quite well. Especially those days where we play 433. Lamps, Essien and Mikel. Mikel's role is just to be a destroyer in front of the back 4. But then nowadays, destroyers nid to keep up with a high tempo game. Mikel's lack of pace totally destroyed him. And also his lack of forward pass.
