And why do you hold this high lofty opinion, if I may ask?


I judge player based on their God's given talent and what they can do with the ball when the stakes are high,how they are able to impact the game before using any other metrics and mikel has never had to come short of any of this .Like mikel,like Michael Carrick I have never seen them getting choked in the midfield before and this is a trait possessed by exceptional good midfielders. So this makes him my best Nigerian player ever .

Kanu Nwankwo. It's not easy to play for a top team where expectations are very high and still deliver.

Didn’t he have a worse goal/game ratio than Yakubu Aiyegbeni ?

And what talent does Mikel have that makes you think of him so highly? What does he do with the ball?

Are you saying this because you watched him play and had to rely on video clips to see Kanu, Aiyegbeni and the likes in action?

If the bolded is truly your metric for choosing, then Kanu Nwankwo is the player.

I'm a big fan of Mikel, but talking of talent, when the stake is high, impacting a game... c'mon it's Kanu Nwankwo for sure.

I am not questioning your opinion. You have the right to that. But you see those metrics you listed? It's Kanu Nwankwo.

Kanu wasn't an out-and-out striker like Yakubu.

Lukaku didn't score a goal for Chelsea but was something else at West Brom and Everton. You get my point?

Mikel's close control which most other black midfielders tend to struggle with is enough reason to rate him highly. He turns well and easily break away from pressure even without trying.Can read the game well too with a bit of short pass accuracy. All in all this combined skills set with his longevity at Chelsea and trophy cabinets makes him my best ever Nigerian player in epl . He no easy for your fan to call you African zidane. They know what they saw .None of those other players ever been chanted with great player's name before grin

A league where 97points couldn't guarantee Liverpool a league title, sure has to be the toughest.
If Tuchel play Thiago,Mount, Werner, Kante , Chillwell & Azplicueta this night, we go fight. smiley

Well, goalkeepers dont stress their lungs running several metres around the pitch like the outfield players. He could play.
Also, i read somewhere that Kepa is the designated keeper for the FA Cup, not sure if that's true. If it is , Mendy would sit out the cup final.
I just want all those key players fully fit &refreshed for those two important Cup Finales.

I get. But then they both played for different teams. Kanu played for teams at both ends of the spectrum while Yaks played majorly for mid-table teams.

I’d say Kanu, with his hype and potential, performer less than expectation when compared to Yakubu. Yakubu was deemed prolific and Kanu wasn’t. There’s a reason for that.
