Former Super Eagles midfielder, Mikel Obi, has urged the Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino, to make winning games in the Premier League a priority for now and keep efforts to rebuild the team in abeyance..
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Mikel gave his take on this issue via his Obi One Podcast while also low-rating Marc Cucurella .
‘Are we just going to sit on the fence and say we are still in a rebuilding process?
There is no time for that. We need to start winning games. When I look at the team, it comes down to a lack of leaders.
In the game against Everton, I looked around the pitch; there was not one single leader. There is no one to come out on the pitch to go at your colleagues and say, ‘Wake up, what are you doing?’ – this is what we had before.
The likes of Didier Drogba, John Terry, and Frank Lampard, when you are having a s*** game, these guys would make you wake up.
I look at the manager; I didn’t see him scream at one of the players to say, ‘Do your f****** job, wake up, make sure you run around and make sure we win the game’ he said.
‘He is not Chelsea standard’ Mikel submitted while assessing Marc Cucurella .
‘When you look at the left-backs we have had, Ashley Cole, Cesar Azpilicueta, William Gallas, you are talking about these players who have stayed at the club for many years, played so many games, and the standard they have set for that position. For me, he’s not at Chelsea standard’ he added-Team@orientactualmags.com
