Smirking_Saint Posted 8 April, 2009 Share Posted 8 April, 2009 What i would give for a player even as half as good as him for saints. Great energy, great engine, great comitment. Marked gerrard out the game tonight (not easy) and my personal MOTM (chelsea v liverpool). IMO the reason that chelsea have turned the corner in this late stage of the season and why you can't write them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Alert Posted 8 April, 2009 Share Posted 8 April, 2009 What odds on a Chelsea trebble? Can honestly see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 8 April, 2009 Author Share Posted 8 April, 2009 Dunno, must be high, but worth an outside bet surely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch Posted 9 April, 2009 Share Posted 9 April, 2009 Essien was immense last night. Gerrard never had a touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicko Posted 9 April, 2009 Share Posted 9 April, 2009 Essien is the best player Chelsea have bought in the last 5 years, and his injury is the reason they had such a poor start this season An absolutely brilliant player He kept Gerrard quiet all game. Just shows, if you snuff out the danger of Torres & Gerrard, Liverpool don't have other match winners to compensate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_bert Posted 9 April, 2009 Share Posted 9 April, 2009 Imho Essien is the best all round midfielder in world football. The guy has everything!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Shango Posted 9 April, 2009 Share Posted 9 April, 2009 Essien is a beast, Chelsea have really missed him while he was out. I agree with the above, best all round midfielder in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Porter Posted 9 April, 2009 Share Posted 9 April, 2009 Essien or Xavi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 9 April, 2009 Author Share Posted 9 April, 2009 I agree, completely, i would not say that essien has the most flair or technical ability but his pure athleticism is world class. To use a footie manager qoute .... bet gerrard was still checking over his shoulder for him when he got home! lol Xavi is quality but for different reasons, on the ball he is unbelievable, passing and technical ability. You only have to look at spain to realise how technically inadequate our english midfielders are, the way they pass the ball is majestic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
