Absalout same, if it's not Chelsea, i'd rather it be Man City. Though don't worry always been a Chelsea supporter, die being one. And about Essien, Essien is and always has been my favourite player, but eversince he recovered from an injury it's like he can't play how he used to. I'm really worried about him, he has had plenty of time to recover, do you reckon this is permanent?. I hope not, and we are kinda lacking flare. Essien is pretty creative even when he's not meant to be. And as a defensive midfield he hasn't done his best. He can't run his fastest anymore, has he had an injury lower body?. Though i just don't think this is the same Essien, i hope this is nothing serious. But for the time being i think we should bench Essien. Rotation is important, but i would rather have Malouda on honestly. But at the end of the day it's carlos decision. Drogba and Essien should be benched i agree on that.
