Chelsea-Arsenal verdict: Mikel’s Havertz advice 🤫, Sanchez not good enough 👎🏿

[@gspchelseafc2018]

Don't underestimate how much you were appreciated at the club Mikel 💙

[@Reubenpopoola]

He said not everyone appreciated him which is true, he was constantly criticized and underappreciated Yet that doesn't warrant him to shush the fans

[@Helena_01541]

​@Reubenpopoola you're referring to who here?

[@clayu.9150]

Nah Kai Havertz is a bum. Very disrespectful tool. Lets see him lift a trophy at arsenal. We'll be waiting.

[@Neomdk]

We will be there

[@nnamdichilakakingsleyibekw9177]

Kai did right to shush the Chelsea fans, he won Chelsea the UCL, yet all he has received from Chelsea fans is insult and shaming. Now you complain of disrespect? Almost like you can't take what you give. Respect is reciprocal. You can't disrespect him and expect him to respect you

[@Neomdk]

@nnamdichilakakingsleyibekw9177 we had the best defence since 1994 of any team that went on to win the Champions League. We conceded the least goals and we're only behind for 4 minutes for the entire campaign. Yes havertz won us the league not Thiago Silva not Mendy not Rudiger not Christensen not Reece James not Chilwell Havertz did

[@nnamdichilakakingsleyibekw9177]

@@Neomdk I am not sure what you are waffling about. I said he won you the UCL, not the league. You can defend all you like but if you don't score a goal you are not winning the trophy. He scored the only goal that won Chelsea the UCL. The real issue is Chelsea fans complaining Kai is disrespectful. When all you have done is insult him, happy he was out of your club, thanked Arsenal for getting him, called him a donkey, German giraffe etc. And you guys have the nerve to complain that he is disrespectful. If you can't take disrespect then don't give it. If you expect him to remember he had good moments at Chelsea same should also apply to the insolent fans. And that's on period

[@Neomdk]

@nnamdichilakakingsleyibekw9177 The guy was still dross for us. he scored the champions League winning goal but what about the performances after that. They were terrible and god forbid the fans called him out. He then goes and says winning the champions league was great but..but??? butt??? but what??? Winning it with arsenal would mean more. What nonsense is that he gets what he dishes out. May he long continue winning second place at Arsenal

[@blessingsphiri5604]

Mikel Chelsea fans are very proud of what you're doing! Keep it up

[@backtohomeand1118]

Sure we're really really Proud 👍👍

[@IheanachoOgbuneke-ok1mu]

Cole palmer was wonderful in big games last season, not just city. He played killer passes against tottenham when we won 4-1. He scored in both legs against United. So he has not turned up in the big games this season, does not mean that he can't .

[@Ryuken359]

He did it as a RW and teams now know how to play agaisnt him.

[@dennistembo-qq4ct]

U will forever be love Mikel u are the real chelsea nd true Legend 💙 ❤️

[@adebayoabraham5409]

Take it or leave it Harverts best memory in his career so far was at Chelsea. One day he will retire and it will be a shame on him to claim he ever won Champions league with a club he so disrespected

[@davidking9222]

John Chelsea fans have a great deal of respect for you. You have a banner at the ground. I would also suggest 1/3 of your subscribers are Chelsea fans, ( 1/3 Nigeria 1/3 Football fans). So yes you're not Didier, but who is?

[@kingsleyeze9249]

In a Chelsea group I am into I saw this topic of Havertz I decided to come in here to drop this. Believe this or u leave it. Kai will never win anything reasonable in Arsenal than he did in Chelsea. In the first place, he is not even in Chelsea level. If Kai happens to be in Chelsea right now, I swear he can't even start. He can't be in group A team.

[@adebiyiaderinto9691]

Bitter Truth!

[@sonnygrigsby9560]

Mikel when you can on the field we loved you because we knew the game was controlled and over❤

[@sundaytimothy3814]

Chelsea Legendary Mikel

[@MartinAdosu]

Legend please keep talking coz its helping our players grow, i know they always listens to you ❤❤❤❤

[@ifeanyiumeadi4561]

Nice work with the podcast guys! I would like to get your thoughts on playing all 3 of Caicedo Enzo Lavia and pushing Palmer out to the right. We agree Caicedo Lavia combo is better defensively and staying compact but it lacks the control which helps our creativity. Enzo progresses play better than Lavia and it’s no coincidence that Palmer disappeared all of a sudden. Why not play all 3 and still have Palmer on the pitch.

[@temitopeakinyemi8769]

You are very right...Palmers best was on the right wing. Maresca needs to stop prioritising playing Madueke over the teams success

[@samuelokpafi5339]

Chelsea pundit always honest Mikel mostly honest

[@fenner203]

I love the fact that Mikel is very direct, he doesn’t hide my ideas, which is really great.

[@HeMiCiOvIc]

True Chelsea legend. I hear the under appreciation as there was the players like Essien, Ballack back in the day Maka always under the radar but Munich was when he earnt his badges man. Even tho Nigeria played him as a 10, name me an African defensive midfielder better.

[@HeMiCiOvIc]

David Luiz did a madness when he scored that header against us for PSG when Ibra got sent off. But we forgave him. This ain’t the same. We don’t forgive Kai. He’s like a hybrid has glimps of magic when he turns on the gas but his engine programmed for energy saving mode. Thank you Arsenal in the words of Oliver. John Obi we love you forever my bro 💙

[@Kenyasmatatuculture]

Luiz came back though

[@inno4reel]

John Obi Mikel, you were my best midfield player back then in Chelsea. I've always loved to see you play alongside Salomon Kalou. Please keep up the good job👍👍 Your statements on this Podcast is really making a very big impact on our players. I'm begging you to put up a topic critcizing Madueke. He's been acting up lately🙏🙏🙏🙏 One Love💙💙💙💙💙

[@maman4824]

The only way to make sure Palmer shines in big games is to buy a dangerous striker and take the focus from him

[@paperpats]

I have a different idea, we have seen the likes of Saka and Salah shining in big games irrespective of having poor strikers like Nunez and Havertz/Jesus. Same case to Heung Min Son. I believe its just a matter of time until he copes with man-marking tactics. If you compare Jackson to the likes of Havertz, Jesus, Solanke and Nunez, I think Jackson is better of because of the play making he brings in the Chelsea side and this season he is picking his form.

[@justicesallah6401]

Mikel nd caciedo in dat midfield will stop everything

[@TravelsWithMicahBernard]

The new tactic is affecting Palmer...gusto is moving/inverting into palmers position from right back,then palmer was moving to the left halfspace close to Neto on the left....

[@clintonabdallah4807]

Exactly!!

[@1905C7]

The fact that “SANCHEZ NOT GOOD ENOUGH” is written on the title of the video gives me so much peace !!!! SANCHEZ OUT!!!ALL DAY EVERYDAY

[@KevinReyesm]

Mikel your Legend.. Proper Chels 💪🏽

[@Blueclues16]

My dad used to say John Obi Mikel is the identical twin of my older brother. And he always say it behind his back and never infront of him. I don’t get why he did that thou. But that makes me remember and appreciate John Obi Mikel growing up until now.

[@noniboychukwunonso193]

Obi onye obodo. One of our own💙💙💙

[@agalvanizemediaconcept]

We really missed that your passes Mikel. And you were loved by the fans. You were in despite the likes of BALLACK, ESSIEN, MAKALELE. PLEASE 🙏 TALK ABOUT THE DAY YOU SCORED A HEADER HOW DID THE PLAYERS REACT OFF FIELD AND PLEASE 🙏 TAG ME I DONT WANT TO MISS IT.

[@adeniyiadepoju2338]

Kai he's a fool

[@DaleDanny]

Donkey Kong 😂😂😂😂😂

[@njokuikechukwu7992]

And you too

[@thetruenigerian2505]

A big fooooooooool

[@frankkobba8056]

I have the firm opinion that Kai is unlikely to earn medals at Arsenal. Chelsea gave him the highest honor any club can offer him: World Club Cup winner.

[@dawitalemseged2987]

Mr.Obi it is not the opposite team who have marked Cole Palmer it is Enzo Maresca; because he is making him isolated by benching E.Fernandez! in my view we need to bring Enzo back to the team in order to give some freedom to Palmer!

[@agapefootballfans]

Honestly, I need Mikel obi's opinion on The Hazard vs Salah debate

[@agapefootballfans]

Mikel you owe me this answer

[@petruspetrusgodspower9556]

About Cole Palmer , the coach should play him in his normal position on the right of the attacking midfield not on the left

[@EyobZewdu-u4l]

we love you legend

[@derizacs]

Legend John Obi himself ladies & gents 💙💙💙 if you love Chelsea FC make sure you subscribe!!!!!......

[@CharlesOsadebe-e9n]

My Mikel well done I appreciate you so much noni and Sanchez not good enough Sanchez don't know how to organize defences

[@bigboyhallo]

Look Mik I'm sure u guys voice being heard out in UK This my suggestion please, it's high time we fans started seeing either joa or Christopher at left wing in the starting 11 Noni must start sitting on the bench

[@Abulo-wj4kx]

I love what you say mikel truly you are a great player like your say advice is what Chelsea need like your are murthan hundred percent show of what you say I remember then when you talk about Jackson and does this is now happening bro keep up your good work bro you are football experience yourself like you know how it bro more grace 🎉🎉

[@responsibleprince5240]

I really laughed like mad when you said “you come third in Africa best in premier league”🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

[@okechukwutochukwu4017]

Obi podcast to the world 🌎

[@abeeodunsamson8429]

Hi guys, great stuff you both are doing here. Gusto inverting to midfield and progressing towards that right side pushes Palmer to the left and I think that is affecting his performance. Palmer is better at the right side. Secondly, Maresca should make the first team more competitive. This team A, team B stuff is making some players too comfortable, Noni for instance.

[@kingsleynnadi-zq9ki]

Legendary

[@adoraransom476]

Kai is an ingrate 😢😢😢😢😢

[@cloudyjdiketso8750]

people like to cling on to the Havertz ucl goal to mask the majority of his performances for chelsea....they were alot of fans who gave kai havertz a chance...even when he proved he was quite unreliable in front of goal when we needed him to...especially the season when everything started to collapse under th new regime.....when the club was rock bottom...players like mount nd havertz left chelsea and joined their rivals....this was an act of betrayel

[@hegeliandianetik2009]

Chelsea literally refused to give Havertz a new deal and wanted to sell him, chelsea fans dissed him on social media for months, now he has scored more goals in less games for Arsenal and now Chelsea fans are crying about Havertz dissing them 😂😂

[@vladimirgarcia7601]

Obi, it makes more sense for me for Reece to start at RB his natural position and Cuca on the left. Reece is arguably still our best player, but to play him as a LB is wrong. Gusto has been phenomenal, but Reece is on another level. Especially offensively.

[@Omamedee]

I remember the game against Basel I think in the champions league mo Salah battered us. I was telling my elder brother Chelsea needs to buy him because he was amazing in that match. If given chance mo Salah would have succeeded in Chelsea, he showed it against us in Basel. The same way we played Brighton and I was like who is that guy (cucurella) he was all over the pitch in one of our match against Brighton.

[@jamesben3261]

Mr Mikel , Chelsea is in the conversation of winning the League❤!

[@TravelsWithMicahBernard]

Enzo brings in the creativity that palmer needs to perform

[@clintonabdallah4807]

Palmer isnt performing as good because Enzo is on the bench...Palmer just isnt being played in the right half space as he should but rather left half space!! If enzo was to replace lavia and Gusto still inverts to the right half space u wont see any difference either!!! Thinking that Enzo magically unlocks palmer is just being too simplistic with the tactics.....there is a reason why chelsea goal came from the right half space with neto because neto made movements to the space that palmer usually occupies! But isnt coz maresca has insisted on pushing palmer to the left half space for afew games now! That Palmer left half space gimick has only worked once so far!.. against Newcastle

[@ifeanyiumeadi4561]

❤ Spot on my brother. It feels good to see someone who sees what you see.

[@Kazifu_Gaming]

What maresca need to do in big games is bring Jackson, palmer and neto on in the 60th minute. We have enough cover. Play Sancho, nkunku and felix in the first half, especially after a conference league

[@evangelistwilliamchukwunwu6905]

I agree with Mikel, all the way.

[@atsuaSteven]

Lavia vs caicedo make sure the team is combat but with Enzo Fernandez is more offensive and create such killer passes into box

[@NeoMothibi-f1m]

No we love u unc❤

[@angelpettransport]

Obi, what's new for Osimhen to Chelsea in the winter?

[@hmanbatman]

Something has gone down between havertz and the club and players they way the players was with him in that game

[@Thehazardcfcversion]

I think it's from the manager's instruction to pass the ball back not Neto's choice.

[@shadracksteve3712]

I agree with Mikel Sanchez is an average goal keeper

[@olumideajayi4812]

We love and appreciate you Mikel

[@johnb3504]

Lavia gave the same pass for Palmer shot in the first 3 mins...but well it was saved, so...

[@responsibleprince5240]

I think the Cole Palmer poor performances against big teams is because meresca team so far is not playing full attacking play against the big teams but rather he plays with caution and mind games which is not allowing Palmer to play freely like when we play against small teams and I guess it’s because we haven’t started playing enough to win big games and getting a draw is always the target.. I believe with time that mentality will change as we grow stronger as a team..

[@yahayayakubu7260]

I can't remember the last big games Sanchez played that we win, we always drop points in every big games that KEPA promax Play. Chelsea should drop him and amarture, selfish madueke.

[@TheChelseaVault]

The squad is very young and can sometime act their age, like we've seen with all the unnecessary yellow cards. There are too many occasions where there's a drop in concentration and very poor decision making - The Chelsea Vault

[@Shdhd2347]

It’s foolish from rival fans the narrative that Cole needs to step up in big games, but it’s even worse coming from a former player, Cole has stepped up in big games, goals against city united arsenal spurs, goals in 3/4 finals last season, euros semi final assist and a euro final goal. Be better and don’t add to this ridiculous narrative

[@vChilly]

I wonder if people think that maybe in the bigger games the quality of defence is better and tactically, they use that to overwhelm him. In that game you could see that in the second half they used odegaard to stop those passes to Palmer. I think in those situations it should be the other guys that need to step up as well, in that Arsenal game that was Neto.

[@Alittude]

I agree but this season he has ghosted in multiple

[@ladiesemmanuella2155]

My friend you are talking trash. Palmer is not turning in the big games this year. The opposing team have found a way to silence him in big games. Being a big player is finding a way to perform very well even when man marked... Check Eden hazard, Drogba and some of our big legends how they perform in big games. Hazard destroys arsenal and Totenham anytime he sees them.. Palmer need to up His game he cant always be man marked easily.

[@pius_empire1]

he did well last season but Mikel is saying this season and he's right

[@Blueclues16]

I think C.Palmer will find his way to dismantle big teams eventually, he’s only 22. We’ll see how it goes in the 2nd half of the season.

[@Nexustvchannel]

One thing is that Kai mate are no longer at the club and that alone take away the emotions when playing against them it felt new to him and that’s not in anyway giving excuses for his actions but the truth is if players like Mouth, Timo, Gallagher And more are still around it would have been deferent

[@lawrencevolt6333]

Great Podcast,. But Obi you need to always allow your host to finish his statements before you jump in. Often time you fail to allow him to complete his statement. Just my obs. Thanks

[@Doggy-enterprise]

Yes the legend is wright if Cole Palmer can’t get goals in the big games is not there yet. Need to improve. Because we win the big games we win TITLES.

[@wasswaronald8708]

FOR SURE MIKEL TALK ABOUT MADUAKES SELFISHNESS THAT COST TEMA ATTACKING BALANCE. THIS MUST BE TALKED ABOUT.

[@stephenchinecherem9092]

Obi kererenke😊

[@AdewaleSmile-fw8wj]

He was the best player on the pitch last season against City at home, Yamal was poor against Madrid until the goal, he already has an assist in the Euro semi and a goal in final plus he was clearly not fit enough against Arsenal

[@noniboychukwunonso193]

This Cole Palmer issse in Big Big games is very important because he's not performing well when it comes to Big games

[@arglc]

It isn't the big game issue. The issues started after Enzo was dropped and Palmer stopped receiving passes in dangerous areas. Palmer is now finding himself much deeper than before and he is the one making passes into dangerous areas rather than receiving them.

[@noniboychukwunonso193]

@arglc that's true. Enzo need to pick up because he lose form. He's not helping our games at all.

[@eezypeezy2782]

Kai haverts biggest disrespect by going to rivals Arsenal and then celebrating against us

[@atsuaSteven]

Yeah he should celebrate the goal but then he should be respectful to CFC

[@mathematicsphysicsandengin5910]

Don't mind them, they are marking Palmer. If you understand football well, watch the movement of odegaard and others they are moving towards Palmer and that is why he has that space. All team are trying to man mark and zone mark Palmer, so this is why we need Felix another player that is creative on the pitch.

[@atsuaSteven]

And again we should have won that game if only Mr Jackson was anywhere close to those match wining Crosses from Mr Neto

[@amoskirui2911]

you people are not seeing the problem the coach is causing in that team,he has his favourite,why it's even when Jackson, maduake, and even Palmer is not in the game he will not sub them, and we have Felix, and Nkuku on the bench, what insult bring in Nkuku for 88min, tell me what did Jackson did in that match that kept him for 88min,why Nkuku was on the bench, and tell me why on fit Palmer playing 90 something min why Felix on the bench,that coach should be careful before he has a divided dressing room and that we be his end, me personally i hate that.

[@Abulo-wj4kx]

Honestly, Mikel , as a Nigerian and a football lover, i expect you to use this opportunity to call out fans who disrespect players and even go a long way to abuse them and send threats. I'm not speaking only for Kai but for other players as well. Call them out and don't play nice. (It's why i don't like Chelsea fan... No hard feelings though)

[@thetruenigerian2505]

[@chrisjonathan544]

@thetruenigerian2505 my point exactly.

[@DJZarpRix]

Do you think Cole Palmer needs to score in the big games?

[@pfeventsorganiser]

Maresca is just a yes man talker under clearlakes thumb, we had chance to beat utd and arsenal and both times we failed with no clinical striker, Sanchez is a rubbish keeper and fofana and colwill are very poor CBs and we dont have any better as disasi and badiashille are worse, Our best defender Trev Chaobah has been forced out and Thiago Silvea has not been replaced as Tosin is 10% the defender thiago was

[@jackkelly7395]

They some up Chelsea defending

[@houradm.419]

The treatment of enzo Fernandez is so bad if we had a great defense then we see how good he is ..our shit defense blame always land on midfielders and we all blame enzo ..in Argentina he play in front of a good defense he is free to do his thing

[@tonyscotty7335]

The pressure is too much on palmer, we need to use other creative players and not rest all the burden on palmer

[@MosesMwangi-zx6kk]

It's only a concern coz he is so good playing smaller teams

[@AbigailLovia]

I don’t know why Felix go Dey on bench for this kind of game our manager need to do more better. Jackson no Dey in this Match at all why can a manager bring Nkunku die minutes and you expect him to play a good game, to me maduake need to fit down on bench even Jackson as well. Gusto was so terrible today our defensive guy really mess up, Neto was in everywhere he was even better than all our defenders self imagine he was full everywhere. Maresca need to check his table sometime is missing how cold Palmer go Dey ahead of Jackson and you expect him to give you a good result Palmer is number 10 he supposed to Dey at the back of Jackson, if Palmer Dey back of Jackson he go receive ball from our 8 and midfielder that’s how Palmer work. Maresca needs to do better maduake need to sit down on bench. As for gusto I don’t know how and when he would improve as a Chelsea player this is a big club you are playing for thousands of people come to watch football they want to see us winning. This is kind of game Oscar and Alonso show themselves how dangerous they are

[@mbadnation7914]

Fact is fact the coach is ticking a time bomb 💣 no explanation on why palmer played 90min Jackson should have been removed by 60 min madueke 60 mins The coach still has the best bench in the premier league But by January other clubs would come for felix and nkuku, mudryk, enzo. Marecessca would feel the heat hes still enjoying a lampard first season The coach needs to be better

[@roysiw-quansah]

When i here @Cole Palmer not showing up in big games all that come to mind is these so "G+A" football fans who only say a player is good when he only score or assist.... In Most of our big games he keeps dragging DF MF out of position and if other player can capitalized on it like the "Nato goal where Party and rice was drifting to cover Palmer creating a lot of room for Neto to hit it." I.E Against united similar incident hapen where Matinez, Urgate and Casmero closing on Palmer just for Enzo to hits it that hard.. If 2 of the 4 attacker can read and capitalized on it.... Salah KDB and Maybe Rodri keep delivering in Big Games

[@demarbrown2673]

He actually need all three of them, Just as much. there is too much debate on who he needs more. just breaks down relationships which is unnecessary for a team.

[@blkmambautube]

Mikel biko as a 9ja man .Cucerella did not not keep Saka quiet. He was fouling Saka left and right. If it was not because of Michael Oliver, he would not have finished the game. Caicedo was doing his gangstar play and getting away with it because of Michael Oliver. Cucerella needed others to defend Saka. Let truth be told.

[@victorm8410]
