Look at who Obi has been paired with at CDM @ Chelsea.
Lampard. Luiz. Ramieres. All attack minded players. All commonly caught forward when the opposing team breaks. Obi naturally slides into a more defensive posture to cover for them. It's basically the Geoff Cameron vs Panama role. He plays more defensive so that his partner can get up the field.
I'll give you that he's been inconsistent. But tbf, there are only about 4 guys on the roster that weren't inconsistent last year.
He might very well be on his way out though, now that Essien is back. I saw that he was linked to Galatasary a few days ago (would be another good addition to an already salty squad, imo. Don't want to see them in the CL).

We were linked to John Ruddy a few times. Don't know if anything's going to come of that.
