The 'yak' is still a government as far as Nigerian football is concerned.

But Mikel is more tactical and positional for defensive midfield, Oliseh was more of an average player, he only had few exceptional games, he played for small clubs in lesser leagues save Juventus.

He had very poor stats for most of his clubs being a journey man.

gentleguy1975:
ur source? Yekini was the highest goal scorer while Oliseh got the highest rating because he had a hand in almost if not all the goals scored by the eagles in that tournament

Goke7:


who are the top 10 best? Most decorated Nigerian player cannot make your top 10 best, what manner of contradiction

Seunfretty:
pls I tink wen we argue then we need to be clear about wat the topic points at....yakubu means oliseh is better in terms of ability...Mikel was part of a great football generation and won all....but my question and wat we should ask oursleves is .."are all players in a good and succeful team the best players"?.....the present midfield of Liverpool that won last champions league and league is "fabinho...wilgnadum...henderson/keita".... do u want to tell me that midfield is better talented than city" s "debruny....gundogan...and fernadinho" that hasn't even gotten to a champions league final in almost a decade?....let's understand something's...u don't need to be a spectacular player all tje time before u succeed and form a great era...some of players who played in a great team today weren't spectacular.... the only set of pple that will tell me mikel is a better footballer than the oliseh we had in the 90s are maib the pple DAT started watching football last week......oliseh was miles better but Mikel was far more successful

Aiyegbeni Yakubu.....Bros, I have not forgiven you that Point Blank Miss against South Korea in 2010 Worldcup....That miss of the century...You do me something that day.

...

The Mikel we saw in 2005 was a prospective superstar, but I think he remained complacent about himself as a professional footballer and concentrated more on making money, hence he was contented with being on Chelsea’s bench. Yes! He won practically every trophy an average player would dream of winning except the WC but regardless Mikel can’t rated as someone you had spectacular career.
Remember we have good players and great players, and few fantastic players.

But Mikel was just a player and between him and Sunday, I’ll give to Sunday.

How will they cope with the food stuff?
Note that I do like cooking for her,in fact I enjoy it,but of course I'm oblivious of how to cook soup,in fact I don't like or even wanna learn how to..
But I'll still wanna eat soup every now and then..
Plus I prefer home made food as I'm very particular about what I ingest in public.

Afam4eva:
I smell jealousy from Amokachi and Aiyegbeni.

Amokachi will rather concede that ikel is NIgeria's greatest player instead of his fellow team mates, Okocha and Kanu.

Aiyegbeni on the other hand will rather choose someone from time past as the best defensive midfielder than a his fellow Nigerian team mate Mikel Obi. But Aiyegbeni is closer to the truth than Amokachi.

I personally think Mikel should never be mentioned in anything that has BEST in it as far as football is concerned.

bassman007:
There is a big difference between most decorated player and greatest ever player. Oleksandr Shovkowskiy, a retired Russian and Dynamo Kiev goal keeper, is the second most decorated player in football history behind Dani Alves but he is not mentioned among the top 20 best keepers in history. Individual statistics is what is used to rank greatest players in football and not trophy cabinet.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Yak is very correct

Oliseh and his then fellow squad members are just up up there in the sky!

Is it passion, leadership?

There is no comparison.

But Mikel is no doubt a great great player, he was supposed and expected to be our greatest ever player just as the likes of Messi and Ronaldo

Damianwest19:
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

Neddyogu:



What about best bench warmer?

WowSweetGuy:
Sunday Oliseh the crying machine. His passion was too much

Oliseh Greater Than Mikel As Defensive Midfielder –Aiyegbeni

elpochas:
You cant even compare them,just that Mikel won more.Only that Oliseh goal against Spain in France98 ends the debate.

milehigh06:
Mike played for Chelsea while Oliseh played for juve
When Oliseh played for Juve ..chelsea was not really a power house and still what did Oliseh win at that time...Nigerians hate Mikel,why...i have no idea but to compare Mikel to Oliseh is plain rubbish..Only thing Oliseh has over Mikel is number of goals,after that....nothing

Jodera:
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

PreyingMantis:
Mikel has more goals than Oliseh... The bitter truth for the Mikel haters here is that Oliseh has nothing on him.
