As much as I think Cousins is limited, we have looked worse since he has been dropped for Mikel. For me it’s rank bad management the way cousins has been treated just to include Mikel. As for what he happens.... well I asked the question months ago but was told he protects the back 5 superbly and I should watch him more.....

I’m still waiting for him to protect!!! Cousins is not the answer BUT his performances warranted his position in the team but gets dropped for playing well??
We are back to picking favourites again on reputation.

I almost expect now to click on a threat title and for it to be abusing the player. I thought he may be coming back from injury and not up to speed but apparently he should be at 100% vintage Chelsea Mikel....

I dont see the protection of the back four at all, he doesn't break up play, he doesn't track back. He hinders us, and we don't need more hindrance, we have enough of that from others!

Just asking what he offers the side at the minute? Especially when players who are in better form sit out

Mikel offers nothing to the progress of SCFC..No speed , no speed of thought anymore so does nt anticipate .. yawns through matches picking up pay cheques.

He offers nothing and cousins should not have been dropped to let Mikel straight into the side

Cousins is a better player right now. Mikel shouldn’t be playing ahead of him. We were keeping clean sheets with Jordan C.

How he has been allowed to literally stroll back into the team at the expense of one of our better performers is criminal

Browns ran himself into the ground he's needed a rest for a while but hasnt been able too. Fair enough, more poor management then, he has players to rest him with, Ince and Verlinden, you could argue they're both shit but if Browns offering nothing and you think a rest will help him you do it.

He’s been poor since coming back. Very good prior to his injury.

I agree he should be rested, the way TV hasn't even seen a look in is a disgrace. We'd have been better off putting him upfront over vokes today

Mikel has a nasty streak which I do not like. It was evident when he was at Chelsea. Some of this late over the ball stuff is really not on. I would not have him in my side class player that he is!

If he sees Mikel and Clucas as part of our best midfield then I fear a real slide down the table could be on the cards.
Mikel isn’t physical or mobile enough Clucas doesn’t do enough and should only be used in Powell’s position, but Powell is a lot better there
Time for MON to show what he’s really about in getting the best out of this squad in the second half of this season.

Probably did have his worst game yet for us today but like a says he his coming back from a lay off and playing against a very good team! I also think that there’s so little options in front of him at the moment it makes him and other players look particularly poor. A couple of strikers returning to fitness and hopefully one or two new players then we may look at him and others differently.

Clucas scored plenty of goals last season from midfield and looked decent all round, he's a better option than most in the squad, I'd have him over Allen for example for his goals alone. But if we were to discount those two there's very little left, Allen meh, Cousins should be playing and got dropped for Thompson Allen and MIkel , Tymon is okay and Thompson is a nothing player, there's not a lot to chose from with that lot is there.
