Didn't and couldn't watch it, but i heard some of the game from Five Live, sounds like Essien was playing awful. I really can't see him here next season, as hard as it is to say, he just isn't the same player. Ramires is his replacement, imo, and it would give people like Benayoun and McEarhan the chance to break into the first team. Anelka is another one. I expect alot of changes in the summer, and seeing this result, it looks like this could be evidence for Roman to get into his back pocket.
