Blue Armour 4,442 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 He looks decent and can hopefully be a very good squad player. But he is in no way near what he once was. He's not as strong, not as fast, and most of all he's no where as dynamic as he used to be. Still, hopefully he can stay away from injury and do a decent job for us at several positions.Nice to know we have the option of shutting down the game, when needed, with him and Mikel partnering in midfield.

NishC300 1,865 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Looks good! Essien's a true blue and an amazing person. I just love some of the things he says. Seems like a truly charming person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Cool 388 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 He's definitely not as pacey or energetic as he used to be, but as he showed last night, he can still deliver solid performances, contrary to the "no knees Essien" tag that some of our members have slapped on him Blue Armour and The only place to be 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidzeret 2,257 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Glad that our Bison's to back somewhere near his former self. I reckon he'll make a terrific rotation player and gives us cover at RB in the absence of Azpi and Bran...woudn't trust Kalas as my third choice RB.

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) I have a good feeling about him this season, he realy looks very good, maybe better than some DM we might thought we should get.I think Essien-Mvg is a good option, because Essien knows how to make those key passes we lack of, from defense to attack. He's so quiet on the ball, so confident, but still gets his work done in defense, if he'll continue to play like that he might be very important for us i think.

Clevemayer 764 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 what a player he was I loved him so much from 2007 onwards I thought he was the very best midfielder in whole europe till 2008 and I wasn't the only one thinking this of him... absolutely a beast in that midfield my fav player after Drogs...
