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

You have only 17 roster spots for international players with U21 players not counting in the Champions League. Essien was the obvious choice to not make the cut TBH. He's probably fifth choice at CM right now.

Okay, I see. I think he had a good preseason.

Yeah, but preseason is meaningless. Lampard and Ramires is our starting pair, Mikel is our only natural DM, and Van Ginkel is a player we want to develop so will need game time. Mourinho likes Essien so will probably work him in to the league games, but I don't see a place for him on the team really.

Essien will probably play 15-20 games for us this season in cup games and when we're short at CDM/RB in the league... no more than that. It's quite clear that the pecking order for the deep-lying midfield pair is 1. Lampard, 2. Ramires, 3. Mikel, 4. van Ginkel, 5. Essien.

Im quite annoyed by the way things turend out with Ess... although i dont know the all story and havent seen him practice like Jose did. In pre-season, Essien was the only CM who looked comfortable finding the right pass forword, which is by far our biggest problem imo. It also left a bad taste when Jose left him out of the CL squad, you know after he went to Madrid for him and then came back with him. But im sure things are fine between them, its just sad to see him coming back to the team with this non-existing role as the 5th CM. When Jose havent got a CM i hoped he can get the spot near Ramires, at least until KDB or Oscar will move there, thats what i thought then.. oh the double pivot shit will kill me at the end.
