John Obi Mikel: ‘Sánchez and Jackson Aren’t Good Enough to Win Chelsea the League’Former Chelsea player John Obi Mikel has openly shared his thoughts on the team’s recent performances, specifically criticizing Robert Sánchez and Nicolas Jackson for not meeting the level required to compete for the Premier League title. Mikel pointed out a recent mistake by Sánchez as a prime example of his weaknesses. In the important match against Manchester City, Sánchez made a questionable decision to rush off his line, leading to an error that ultimately cost Chelsea. “What are you doing? Rushing out?” Mikel asked. “I know if you call Petr Cech now, privately, he will tell you the same thing. But I’m the only one coming out to say it.” Mikel believes former Chelsea goalkeeping legends, such as Petr Cech, would have handled the situation far better. He also raised concerns about Nicolas Jackson, the summer signing for Chelsea, claiming that the striker does not possess the finishing skill and consistency required to help the team achieve success. While Jackson has shown some glimpses of potential, Mikel suggested that such moments aren’t enough for a team aiming to reclaim dominance in English football. Despite Chelsea’s improvements over the past season, including new signings and the appointment of Enzo Maresca as manager, Mikel feels the team is still a long way from reclaiming the Premier League title. His comments reflect the frustrations of many Chelsea fans, who expect high performance but continue to see costly errors in crucial areas. Mikel insists that if Chelsea intends to compete for the title again, they need to set higher standards for their signings, especially in key roles like goalkeeper and striker. He believes Sánchez and Jackson, though possibly good enough for a top-four finish, are not the players who can lead Chelsea back to the top of English football. As the season unfolds, it remains to be seen if Sánchez and Jackson can prove Mikel wrong and meet the challenge. However, his criticism has raised more doubts about whether Chelsea’s current squad is capable of bringing Stamford Bridge back to its former glory.
