no I am not wrong BM, IMO. Mikel does this once in a bluemoon against League one opposition. He is all of sudden Zidane?? He ain't Kante - who gives defensive Solidity & offensive Fluidity. In a sense Mikel does give defensive Solidity & Offensive Fluidity - BUT to the opposition - FAKT!!
Nigerian Zidane just helped Super Eagles not to qualify for ACON for the second consecutive time after taking over the captain role.
if he single handedly revived our season, as everyone is making him out. He single handedly pulled Eagles down.
Titles are not just won by Brilliant strikers or Defenders - but CDM is key / critical of all positions. Modern game especially EPL is depended on CDM so much. It is a travesty that Vardy or Mahrez get Player of the season over Kante. again last year's injustice is repeated - Hazard over Matic if anyone has seen Kante, you would agree why we are not top 4. Mikel gave freedom of Stamford bridge to City yesterday. It is always difficult playing 10 vs 12. But Gus prefers 10 vs 12 , what to do? Is Mikel related to Emenalo, they are homeboys from Nigeria?
You really need to let this agenda go. Seasons over, Mikel will probably be sold or back to a fringe player next year anyway. It's boring.
my old man used to say that 'lack of ability isn't sin, lack of application is '!! Mikel never lacked application unfortunately he never had the ability. With his ability he always gives 110%, that may not be good enough but I shouldn't fault his application and singled him out!! Another stupid stance of mine. Sorry guys!! Hair line difference between Strong opinion vs Stupid opinion. I know where I crossed!!
