Badboy 1,526 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I have been watching ghana and essien gets this freedom that he does not get with us. He is getting in the box a lot more he is more creative why dont we give him that freedom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wes 7,212 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 essien needs improve his shooting if he can he will be probably the best midfielder in the world and he needs to score goals about 20 goals a season like lampard or kaka or gerarrd.

Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 He was like that with Lyon too...always bursting into the box. His shooting does need working on. His last shot landed in my back garden only yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombayblue™ 55 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 well he mosly plays as a Dm for us so you would't expect that kind of freedom here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Essien is a great player. Mourinho made him into a defensive player but we Mikel who is possibly better at the role than he. I'd like to see him play in the Ballack role in midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 The problem for him is that as far as going forward is concerned both Ballack and Lampard are better than him at it! So he will not get forward as much for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Well the player is relatively young and has plenty of time to adapt to a more positive role in the side in attacking terms. Confidence is an issue with any player, but the form shown for Ghana in front of goal at the African Cup should help him mentaly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
