His style wasn't appreciated during his time. Now we are in an era where players of his ilk are well appreciated

Mikel was a solid as a rock in possession, and had a great ability to win almost all of his tackles in every match, players rarely pass him, coupled with a very calm and defense spliting passes........I wish Chelsea can hire him to become our possession coach or a coach for the Academy to create a tradition/system of grooming our boys till they u grade to the senior team instead of spending millions on other clubs youngsters.

Every single manager obi has played under has rated him very highly, telling you all you need to know. Such balance, awareness, and technique, alongside strength and grit, truly one of the greats of his generation and a true Chelsea legend!

Best of his kind , under rated , it takes grace for Mikel obi to lose the ball from his feet

When he was subbed on always the score line would hardly change regardless of the opponent. He gave the defense line the ultimate protection, arguably the best cm of his time🔵

This is a DM. Not someone allergic to keeping possession like Declan Rice. Pep Guardiola would have died to have a Mikel in his team.

Wow. I'm Nigerian and I only began watching football in 2014. Now I'm a Manchester United fan, so I paid little attention to Chelsea's games and besides, Mikel was almost always on the bench so I remained oblivious to his abilities. I actually first got a glimpse of his true talent during a game he played for our country Nigeria during a World Cup qualifying match against Cameroon all the way in 2017. He was absolutely amazing and he played offensively unlike the defensive midfield roles he was made to play in Chelsea. And that's when I realized what a talent he really was and that Chelsea just never really gave him the chance to show it to the world

He was not almost always on the bench. Stop spreading this propaganda about him.

2014/2015 he started 18 games & 2015-2016 he started 25 games and this is the EPL alone not mentioning Champions League, FA cup & Caraboa Cup. In a club like Chelsea where you have 2-3 players per position that time, how is that benched? @@usmanelebute.a5866
