Shows how weak your DM position is if Mikel is your best player.


Di Marzio seems so certain that Mou will be our next manager, he was spot on with the Darmian stuff.

What exactly do you want from a DM? He does the job better than most. I can guarantee if he scored a few goals now and then and had Pogba's hair, people would rave about him. But nah pundits and people in general don't rate him, so he must be shit.

Anyone who doesn't rate him lacks basic football knowledge.

I don't think he's as good as you make out but he's a lot better than people give him credit for, like you said he does a job. Undoubtedly been better than Matic this season but they'll be a lot of people that won't see that as Matic is a big name, cost big money and scores the odd screamer, which isn't a DMs job.

A lot of defensive mids don't get the credit they deserve, Makelele (imo the best DM I've witnessed) and Gilberto back in the day didn't get the plaudits they deserved (not saying Mikel is on the same level as them) until people eventually realized what they brought to the team.

He pleaded guilty to grooming her?

He claimed to ask her to meet him another day. But if she was in a 18+ nightclub I think the club should be held responsibility for this whole case.

Florentino Perez on Makelele: "We will not miss Makelele. His technique is average, he lacks the speed and skill to take the ball past opponents, and ninety percent of his distribution either goes backwards or sideways. He wasn't a header of the ball and he rarely passed the ball more than three metres, Younger players will arrive who will cause Makelele to be forgotten."

This is unfortunately how some people think today, if a player doesn't score goals, isn't pinging the ball all over pitch and doesn't have a fancy haircut, he isn't rated.

A lot of people criticize Mikel for passing sideways/backwards, which is a complete myth.

My predictions for this weekend:

Sunderland v United 1-2
Bournemouth v Stoke 1-1
Palace v Watford 0-1
Everton v W Brom 2-0
Norwich v West Ham 1-2
Swansea v Southampton 0-1
Chelsea v Newcastle 1-1
Arsenal v Leicester 2-2
Villa v Liverpool 0-2
City v Spurs 1-2


Nagatomo said he turned us down in January, good, Borthwick-Jackson has been impressing me at LB especially with his crossing, it's brilliant.
