The Digest:
Former Super Eagles captain John Mikel Obi has criticised Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior's tactics, blaming them for Cole Palmer's recent dip in form. Speaking on the Obi One Podcast, Mikel said: "When I watch him play right now, he looks confused on the pitch, like he doesn't know who he's playing with, what the system is." Palmer has recorded just one goal contribution in his last 10 appearances and has been linked with a move to Manchester United.
Key Points:
- Mikel said there is "no direction" in Rosenior's system compared to Enzo Maresca.
- He noted Rosenior does not provide clear instructions from the touchline.
- Chelsea have lost four straight Premier League games without scoring.
- Palmer's influence has noticeably dropped since the turn of the year.
- Mikel spent over a decade at Chelsea and knows the club's standards.
