Big Chance for Mikel to make the position his own. Damn, Essien is out for 2 months. Hopefully we wont miss him much.

@steve

so will Mikel, and then there we are, Bollocks? Belletti or Matic?

[Steve 10,227]

Well yes pretty much i would hardly call him bollocks this season, he has been fantastic, in my personal opinion.

[Fulham Broadway 16,420]

Probs last we'll see him till Feb then.

Fucking awful decision to play him against Apoel. Bring back Eddie McCreadie

[Kez 2,727]

Yeah i don't understand why we played him against Apoel the team was much stronger than i expected.

Injury that could of been avoided. Ballack over Mikel please.

Of course we're gonna miss him - not a lot of blokes who can do this kind of stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR6r-RxS-l4

My God, how we miss this man.

He can't recover soon enough. According to Physio Room there's an outside chance he could be back for Inter at home.

[zolayes 14,489]

Can't wait for him to return
