if not for injury, Amokachi would have gone ahead to be the best in his generation, guy had it all; speed, strength and skill. Yekini remains best in that generation cos he's still irreplaceable till now. Oliseh tried but does not even come to close to Amokachie. The likes of mutiu, finidi and siasia can still pull it with oliseh. Mikel in his generation is the best, if moses had being more committed, he comes close. 3 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: Oliseh was even in a better Nigerian super eagles that had the likes of yekini, siasia, amokachi, finidi etc. compared to the lower quality of super eagles palyers mikel played with. it's like saying peter rufai was a better goal keeper than enyeama with defenders like uche, taribo, eguavoen, iroha while enyeama had oboabona, omeruo and the likes. major stars like mikel, enyeama are still too underrated by Nigerians. Those fellows are our original football heroes of their generation 3 Likes 1 Share |

TheGoodJoe:How's Mikel a key player in Chelsea during their successful period? Tell me how many starts he has per season and how many mins he had per season during their successful period? Let's leave sentiments aside, the way we're hyping him someone will think he's one yaya toure of Manchester city |

Goke7:How is Mikel underrated. Brings his contribution stats at club level and appearances let's see how influential he was for the said successful Chelsea team. Mikel is an example of attaché player. Can't be compared to oliseh at all. 1 Like |

Jodera: Mikel, an attache player? oh no, his achievements in the national team counters whatever opinions anyone has about his chelsea exploits. Not too many players do that well at both club and national team. that singles mikel out any day 1 Like |

Goke7:That's why I asked... How's his contributions at club level? By been on the bench 90% of the times. Lol Mikel is as well better than Essien in africa since he won both afcon and champions league which essien didn't |

How is Oliseh far ahead? Mikel did well in Champions League, FA cups, Multiple EPL big games. A key player in a very successful chelsea and capped it with a brilliant AFCON as a standout player for Nigeria. So how is Oliseh greater? During Tunisia '94, most of the goals that the team scored was as a result of Olise's pullout and crosses even the final goal that gave us the trophy came from his cross. Although he was not spectacular in his clubside in terms of trophies but when it came to National duties he put in wonderful performance. Remember his goal against Spain in France '98...There was a time he was even sick and the Eagles were losing to Senegal and he insisted on playing even though he was not dressed for the match...He was also good during the '94 World Cup |

Jodera: The Nigerian was on parade on Saturday, and became the club’s third-highest overseas appearance maker John Mikel Obi became the 21st player to make 350 appearances for Chelsea in the Blues’ 2-2 draw against Watford in Saturday’s English Premier League fixture. https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/4110/african-all-stars/2015/12/26/18724442/mikel-sets-appearance-record-with-chelsea You don't get to such a record by being a bystander. 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe:of course you can by coming of the bench. How many were starts? You can't be a good player by always coming off the bench. No great player does that And I ask, how was he key? By been on the bench? Show me how he was key. |
Re: Aiyegbeni: Oliseh Greater Than Mikel As Defensive Midfielder by Goke7: 3:09pm On Aug 11, 2020 |
Jodera: This is an exaggerated lie and you know it. Sometimes we all forget that even some of the other world class players we celebrate were benched at one or more points in their career, fabregas, mata, ozil, Essien sef etc. talking about essien what impact did he make for his country. too much Nollywood is our problem as we feel if a player is not as entertaining as we like, then he is not good enough. |

Jodera: You can not be coming from the bench and become the third most capped foreigner in a club like Chelsea. Forget that side, Mikel was key. That was why he started in the Champions league finals against Bayern Munich and started both games against Barcelona. That is not a bencher. 3 Likes |
