Yay! Always happy to see him score goals.

Great goal. Good strength and a composed finish.

Poor quality, but you can see what happened. Good run by Bison Essien.

Essien will probably score the winner in the next El Classico which will result in a massive wankfest over him. ZOMG TEH BISON IS LE BACK! LOLOLLOLOLO!

Another fantastic performance today, game changed for Madrid when he came on.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Really surprised at the prominent role Essien has for Madrid.

[Reddish-Blue 2,493]

Really surprised at the prominent role Essien has for Madrid.

I think Essien just needed a change of scenery and some words from the Special one to motivate him once more.

Another fantastic performance today, game changed for Madrid when he came on.

The game changed because Dortmund changed tactics in the second half and decided to sit deep.

I'm really not getting all the fuss about Essien's performances with Madrid I just don't see it. Today I didn't think he was good, lost the ball way too often for my liking.

I'll admit, he's doing better than I thought he would, but I still reckon he wouldn't get a look in if he were still here.

Lets face it, he will never become his old self again, but he has really surprised me in Madrid if u compare to the last 2 seasons here at Chelsea.

As you known Essien is doing recovery at the Cobham, I couldn't help but wondering are we bringing him back at Jan??

Does this mean once he's fit he is staying with us or is he going straight back to Madrid?

[zolayes 14,489]

Seems Real want us to patch him up and send him back to them ,,,We should ask them if they have a spare striker,,

[Jusek 2,031]

Does this mean once he's fit he is staying with us or is he going straight back to Madrid?

"However, the Liga side are optimistic that his latest problem can be quickly resolved and he can return to Madrid in the New Year."
