Flawless performance.

Mikel looks like a reborn or perhaps a new player under RDM. Don't think he has played this well consistently since he joined us. Long it may continue though.

His performance was as close to perfection as anything has ever been. I don't remember him missing a single pass yesterday.

I saw him miss a few passes, one in particular being when he lofted it out wide towards Bertrand or Cole you couldn't say, with his left peg and it went wayward for Lahm to pick up and counter into another threatening attack. Though he has been soo, soo much better recently.

MOTM for me. Absolutely amazing performance!

Finally, we will hopefully see Mikel live up to his potential. He can push on and become a high class DM.

Mikel John Obi tells Norwegian paper he 'made' Robben miss penalty by telling Dutchman: 'You'll miss. Cech knows where you are aiming'

Haha, even more legendary performance!

If anyone now says Mikel is an average player, they should be banned from the forums. He was probably our best on the night. Incredible performance, he could have kept Zidane in his pomp quiet.

A lot of fans, especially Nigerian fans, think we've ruined Mikel as he was once a great attacking prospect. I would disagree, as his performances since Di Matteo took over have been out of this world and have surely cemented him as one of the best DM's going around. I'd have him below the likes of Pirlo, Mascherano, Busquets and Xabi Alonso and on par with Yaya Toure. Ahead of everybody else, for me.

Not really comparable to Toure, they don't exactly play the same position.. Toure goes forward and scores goals, Mikel doesn't do that.

Fair enough. He's outright 5th then

While I understand your latter comments, you can't really disagree about ruining his attacking talents - We are guilty of that.
