John Obi Mikel and Chris McHardy
About this episode

‘I’m just a fan who wants the best for my club.’ John Obi Mikel makes an impassioned defence of his recent criticism of this current Chelsea side.


Back-to-back defeats to Brighton coupled with Nicolas Jackson’s injury has him asking serious questions of the club’s recruitment policy and he hits out at the notion that the Blues are ahead of schedule in their bid to return to the Champions League.


As always, it’s forthright stuff from the former Chelsea No12.
