JOHN OBI MIKEL Not Bothered By Criticism
Published: September 07, 2012
Chelsea's John Obi Mikel has answered questions from fans via Twitter about his five - and - a - half - year goal drought for the European champions.
Mikel's last goal for Chelsea was early 2007, and he is not bothered he is often criticized by the supporters for his lack of goals.
'' I'm not always in a position to score, so I don't score, that's the truth. I've always had to sit back and keep the shape.
''When I go forward nobody will cover for me so the midfield is open. I hope people see this because I don't know when that goal is going to come! I think I would have to change my position slightly to score goals,'' said the defensive midfielder.
Super Eagles colleague Victor Moses completed his switch from Wigan to Chelsea in August after months of speculations surrounding his future. Mikel believes the youngster will be a hit at Stamford Bridge.
''Victor Moses is a good guy. He has come in and he's a bit shy but as time goes on he will settle in. He's a fantastic player, a good addition to the team and when he settles he can show off what he can do. He's very skilful,'' he added.
