Should start next game.

Deserves credit for coming on and stabilising us a bit and his assist was superb.

Great Performance by Mikel. Immediate Impact. I like that Fella. I also like the Idea of a Double-6 Pairing with Matic, because both players are both effective in defense as well as in offense.

So hopefully these statements where people believe he is only kept around for passport purposes is put to bed. Mourinho clearly values him and there really is no debate. Excellent work for the 6th goal Mikel. We value here and it is pleasing we have excellent squad options in the team. I think he is an excellent squad option and so does Mourinho.

u know nothing jon snow!!!

mikel is here only cos of passport issues... jose plays him only cos mikel and his agent have some "compromising" photos of him.

Should start next game.

No chance. We need Oscar back for Swansea to help Fabregas share the creative responsibilities.

[The Skipper 20,593]

So not as completely useless as many on here seem to think he is... He's a valuable squad member. Great assist today, couldn't believe my eyes.

I thought it was drogba because he's kinda forbidden in the box!

I just realized that was Phil Jagielka that Mikel made look like a fool rolling around on the ground from that backheel. Jagielka was completely done on that play.

[hjperdeath 2,226]

I would bet that 9 times out of 10, he wouldn't have attempted that backheel if Besic hadn't fucked his up. What a troll.

Everything about this was so good.

The pace by Mikel. The run by Costa. The back-heel. The patient composed finish...And even the celebration

[Mr_President 404]

Well, his sprint and back-heel assist capped off a bizarre yet awesome week to be a Chelsea fan. As stated above, he deserves praise for adding a semblance of defensive solidity in a period when Matic/Ramires couldn't control the game or keep it tight.

[Jase 43,479]

Mikel already has got more assists than Silva, Ozil, Mata and Di Maria combined this season.

All hail King Assist Mikel.

Fortunately for us, we have a proper striker who is single-minded and only had one thing in his mind then. Had it been another certain Spaniard, he would have chickened it out by passing to Mikel and/or squandered the chance himself.

If on top of all the crazy stuff yesterday Mikel had scored a goal it officially would have been the most bizarre PL game ever.

Now that's the sort of backward pass we can all get behind!

Yawn.
