Re: The Community Plate - How did Obi Play?
John Obi Mikel 5: Also went Awol when Ivanovic was dismissed and was anonymous in the second half. Will be a surprise if he starts at Wigan next weekend. Another player to ponder for Di Matteo.

Keshi said that before the team arrived South Africa that he told skipper Joseph Yobo that the Eagles were going to win the Cup but the former Everton defender did not believe.

And I detest the way Chelsea play short passes in midfield only to launch a 50 yard pass into the opposition defence moments later, its not the ideal way to develop a Complete midfielder.
I think Mikel is a lazy player who doesn't believe he can be better than average

When RDM is ready to play attacking football he will move his defence a bit higher up the pitch... You don't expect mata to get the ball just outside his own 18 yard and go on a mazy run same as hazard and Torres.

Yes, I saw that. Kinda premature though. He did not have a great game, lost the ball three times at least but also made some tackles, passes and blocks and played 90 minutes. While it was a trophy match and should be taken seriously it is still early in the season. All told would never go by ratings to know how Mikel plays...I believe he plays much better than they rate him.
Re: Re:
Not this revisionist history again
He did run at the opposing defnce in 2005 with the FE and later with Lyn Oslo.
More importantly he showed a passing range, even from deep, that directly influenced the attacking game.

Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp
