Because you seem to be very opinionated on it? Ok? [br I’ve not said a word on today’s game because I can’t comment but I can comment on previous games which is what I’m basing my opinions on. Ok Can you comment on today’s game without actually seeing it? Well yeah. But it wouldn’t hold much water, because you don’t know how we played.

I didn’t watch today’s game. I’m not a fan of Mikel and just wondered how he played today He was fine for an hour, then struggled for the last half hour along with Allen. It seems a mistake to reintroduce them both to the starting 11 at the same time, it has been the same story for a few weeks now, we can cope with one of the midfield playing 60 mins and being replaced but swapping two of the midfield at that time could leave us a bit disjointed. MON needs to make better use of his subs, he has plenty of options to replace tiring legs before they cost us, Mikel and Allen should be playing no more than 60 mins at present.

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.... To be fair nobody is abusing him. Just asking what he offers the side at the minute? Especially when players who are in better form sit out It's those voices in his head again

When he signed for Chelsea he was 18 going on 25. He's a quality footballer and I think we'd be better putting him slightly further forward alongside Cousins rather than instead of him.

Hw was a very good player now he’s a poor nags Jordan cousins a poor signing and not worth a place in our best midfield but I bet he starts the next two unless his leg falls off

They both struggled Holtby is a better footballer over Joe Allen and Davenport was too fresh for the pair of them, like you say the last half hour we were no where near. I've mentioned on the matchday thread, I know a few people have mentioned Powell going off injured changed the game for us, but Holtby coming on definitely changed the game for them. He was bright & inventive & they're general play changed with Holtbys arrival and sadly as others have a alluded to, he bossed our midfield where Mikel & Allen were tiring. Do honestly think if we'd brought Cousins on just after Holtbys introduction he may have nullified his threat. I think it's good point you raise, just think sometimes if a players is on his game then no matter what happens he's going to drive his side on as Holtby did, at that level Holtby looked class that being said he was probably played over 250 bunesilga games and has international experience. I think that drove Davenport on too and he grew in confidence. We could of brought cousins on earlier but at times its levels.

If your going play him further forward the play Clucas who creates far more and scores goals.

If your going play him further forward the play Clucas who creates far more and scores goals. The only draw back of him being further forward is a lack of goals. His quality on the ball may mean we waste fewer good situations with a wrong or lousy pass though. I'm not a fan of clucas.

I think Thompson can fill the Clucas void moving forward, he is starting to add goals and get into good positions. If he could tackle as well he would be dynamite.

Nowhere near as good as I thought he was going to be, and probably how the manager feels as well.

You're a manager of 150 but are pulling pints (obviously). Wetherspoons? Either way the tide is turning bayern?!? People have you sussed 🤣

Even Cousins is experienced. Not as much but it’s a poor excuse imo.

I really can't make up my mind about Mikel. Not sure if he is what we need/ needed. The balance of the midfield for the first hour was excellent. I think Thompson is really developing nicely. If only he could tackle ☹️

He's a decent player and has shown signs of it pre-injury. We need to choose between him and Allen to play alongside Cousins. I think Allen should get the nod as he's got more in him and Mikel obviously tires in the final third of the game. Either way, Cousins needs to play.
