John Obi Mikel’s stock continues to rise in the English Championship after another consummate display, as Middlesbrough beat Blackburn 1-0 in a league game yesterday.
The Nigerian international earned his fourth league appearance at Ewood Park and was so adept in his midfield duties for his side, a showing, which must have pleased not just his club manager, but also Gernot Rohr
The 31-year-old, who racked up two dribbles, made one tackle, struck one shot and had a pass success rate of 90 percent, as per who-scored earned the plaudits of his club fans in style.
Below are some of what Boro fans had to say about his performance on Twitter:
@jamestate09: ‘’John Obi Mikel is better than Messi’’.
@Crookston3: ‘’mikel_john_obi is different class #UTB’’. @IwanEvans19: ‘’Made hard work of it, but nice to know we’ve got the best goalkeeper and midfielder in the league! @RandzOfficial @mikel_john_obi’’.
