As long as Obi is around the SE he is the orchestra master that controls the flow of things.
We should be happy to have a player and captain with his temperament and discipline.

Mikel na good player but ndidi is presently our best midfielder. We can’t keep referencing that horrible performance against South Africa as an example that super eagles cannot do without Mikel or Moses.

Re: Mikel Interview!
Mikel, like an engineer, does those things that are not appreciated by those seeking glitter.
Those who cannot see his impact in games, but hype those with fruitless dribbles and selfish
play are the same wondering why we lost matches we should win. If folks can just try to see
beyond hype, they would understand what game and personality Obi brings to our game.

Your second point is debatable.... I'll concede Nigeria has probably never had a player with a higher passing accuracy percentage - and there are well-established reasons for his figures. This does not necessarily make him Nigeria's best passer of all time.

Who is better as a passer, may I ask?
I have watched a lot of Nigerian players in my lifetime and I make no apologies to state that he is the best. In my view, he is one of only two players who have played on this team in the last few years that will ever be mentioned in a Nigerian ALL-TIME team.

Re: Mikel Interview!
Just recently rewatched JJ vs Denmark in 98, and sorry there is no way Mikel is the best passer ever when you factor in the difficulty of the passes, Mikel is not even close. The hobos passes were out of this world. Yes Mikel is a king at the short and obvious passes, but he doesn't have JJs range or vision.Enugu II wrote:TheYeyeman,The YeyeMan wrote:Which game?

Please name one of Mikel's memorable performances. A performance that will ensure we remember his time in GWG as you put it.

Maceo has answered your question.
There are numerous. I am aware that some have already mentioned a few games but I believe has had outstanding games a lot. Hard for me to pick one game to be honest. He has been consistent. It is easier to pick one for likes of a player who plays one good game once in a while, much easier.
JJ was not a better passer of the ball, IMO. JJ is Nigeria's best midfielder ever, IMHO, but in passing he takes a back seat to Mikel. I do not recall JJ making accurate long passes like Pirlo. In fact, the first time I watched Mikel's games was in 2005 WYC and I saw him make those long passes. At first, I thought he was just hoofing the ball until I realized that he was consistently finding a team mate. No one before him was even close making such a long pass except Oliseh. JJ was not that with such passes.
