Mikel on Mourinho exit: ‘We have to move on’
We just needed to score one goal and then be able to play around it.

This was perhaps a late reaction, four months into the season with any hope of winning the title gone, but at least Costa seems to recognise there is a problem and is taking steps to correct it. “Nothing!” I wouldn’t say that (Roman) Abramovich was right or wrong to sack him. The cross of Anthony, I think, was very good.
“I’m happy with the point because it was in hard circumstances for us”, the Dutchman told BT Sport. You’ll certainly see my face at the club, but how I’m involved is not up to me.
The Chelsea midfielder isn’t sure if firing the manager was the right decision but emphasized that the club must now look forward.
Before Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Watford on Boxing Day, Costa had four goals to his name all season – three in the league and none in any of Chelsea’s big games.
Mikel believes the arrival of Guus Hiddink as interim boss has helped the Blues start to recover from a low of 16th place in the Premier League. The work-rate was different class throughout the whole starting XI. They created chances for me many times so I have to be thankful to them too.
“I think the desire and the fight amongst the squad has been there 100 per cent from the word go even though we haven’t got results”.
And on this occasion it was probably best characterised by a moment when Hazard and the reasonably creative Pedro broke two-on-two to make another of the game’s few chances. “So no win but we have to consider the situation where Chelsea were and are”.
And, speaking at his post-match media conference, Hiddink said: “Of course I am anxious but I would be more anxious if there was no confidence or ambition”.
Despite the long road ahead, Nigerian global Mikel is refusing to throw in the towel just yet.
Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois echoed Hiddink’s sentiments and is confident the London club will move further clear of the drop zone. When you multiply that total by two, you get 40, which is usually the magic number for a Premier League team to scrape past relegation.

“He [Falcao] is training with us, but there is a difference of being fit and game fit”, said Hiddink.
