The main problem is see if it is a reacurrance is the longing effect it could cause, ie Hutchinson. The dude had probelms with his knees and in the end it ended his career when he looked like he could have made something, like becoming the first player to fight for a first team position who was bred from the academy. Essien out for the rest of the season does sound melodramatic ith how late it is, but that is newspapers for you. I am sure we can make something with the whole 2 DMC's we have used in the last couple of games with Dvaid Luiz alongside Mikel.

Luiz would be mint in that position, but that depends on Alex being healthy or if Carlo wants to use Ivan as a CB or RB. Otherwise, iw oudln't mind the traditional 1 DMC and 2 AMC's, with Ramires and Lampard running forward, or even using Anelka or Malouda in that role.

For me, I've been very annoyed at Essien, he's a wonderful man and player and I aknowledge that back home, people like him and Drogba are Gods. Over the last 3 years he hasn't played much for us but nobody doubts his skill and ability. This season though...I was ready for him to have a full season and repay us of what we've been missing for so long, driving play forward, winning balls and being a genuine threat on the pitch. This hasn't been the case for me and I don't think he's performed much since he got sent off vs Fulham at home (I do credit his performance vs Utd at home though, which I thought was quite well). I know it's sounds like a lot but I expected this to be his best ever season for us and that hasn't been the case, when I saw him get that injury I was resigned to him missing the remainder of the campaign and probably being sold in the summer.
