He definitely knew how to hit it. THE goals against Barca and Arsenal were absolute classics, some of the best goals I've ever seen. Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODxuMH0_M5M

The news of Essien leaving will be just as sad as Mata. What a player this guy was in his prime. Covered EVERY blade of grass on the pitch, and has deservedly won every trophy going here. You were bri

Also,when we play weaker oppositions,Essien should be picked over Mikel as Michael offers more when asked to attack.

Not when he's playing with Ramires or Lamps in the pivot. Yesterday, we were lucky to hold on to our lead and I felt Lamps or Mikel would've done a better job than Essien.

I'll only bring him on next time we're 3-0 up and after 70'. Not even a shadow of a player he used to be.

Translate to english?

Crucial ligament damage is 1 of the worst injuries for a player to come back and to have 2 he would never get back to his level,I think if he just sits in front of the back 4 he could do a job.ie like Makele used to do.

Yes. But I don't see that happening this season.

93% pass completion rate and offered much more than Mikel ever does and it can be taken for granted that his passing will have been more penetrating and quicker than Mikel and he reads the game much better ,better tackler ,more stamina and much tougher competitor ,he should be our back up to the established Rammy/Lampard pairing now . He may not be the player he was but is still our best back up by a long way .

Jose has given up on Mikel now and sent him shopping yesterday,he cant complain after his efforts? against Stoke and Steau and the exit door surely looms.

You said that a couple months ago then he ended back up in the team and I am sure he will play again soon. In fact I will not be surprised to see him start against Arsenal ;)

Put aside that he was probably the main culprit for both goals conceded, I just have one question:

How in the world has he picked up 5 YC this season? I didn't even know he's made 5 appearances!

When he got his yellow card that meant he was suspended for the Arsenal game he seemed really annoyed as if he was going to play some sort of part in it...warming the bench isn't playing a part Essi.

He won't get the best seats at the game, that's why he was mad.
