Essien is as close as it gets to Roy Keane today. Hate the Blues, LOVE what Essien brings to the table.

Essien is marvelous player, yet the most underated player in the primer league. I was waiting too long for his come back, now i am enjoying watching chelsea again under his marshal. He is incomparable absolute player. No one can undermine what essien has to offer to his club, because his actions are speaking themselves. His come back will be a big worry man utd and liverpool.

Robbie is either sick, hates our beloved Chelsea and the black players or he doesn’t know whom we’re talking about (Essien). If Robbie wasn’t endowed with a tongue to praise what is the true epitome of the best then he should keep mute and be ashamed of himself. Such rubbish must stop. His comment is absolutely balderdash.
Now for Chelsea lovers we’re happy Essien is back and the engine room is working . Lamp will be free now to score more goals. I must confess Guus knows how to use Essien better. Chelsea! we’re the greatest!

A midfield triangle of Essien, Obi, and Lamps would be as strong as any in the world.

I think Obi has the potential to be one of the most dominant players in the EPL in the near future. Mix that with Essien’s passing and Lampard’s knack for goal, and Chelsea look menacing.

They still need to find a capable LW…they have sorely missed a pacey winger every since they sold Robben.

Have to agree with JSH Robbie. I couldn’t see anything deliberate about the Nedved clash, seemed purely accidental. Drogba on the other hand, is a pain in the behind and would be the first out of the door in the Summer if it was down to me.

Robbie,

Are you kidding me? Come on, Mate. The knee to the head was clearly an accident. Nedved clearly slipped and was partly to blame. Obi is young, you can’t say that incident is really a new one for young footballers. Drogba? I’ll give you a point there.

By far one of the dirtiest players in the game. If memory serves me right he alsmost destroyed Nedveds career. Lest we forge the knee to the head during their second leg clash at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin. A great player to bring on if you intend to end one of the opposings players’ career. That goes for Obi Mikel and Didier Drogba, both players who have no class. All of them can learn alot on how to handle yourself on and off the pitch like Ryan Giggs. Oh and by the way, Drogba with those ipod headphones during mathces has no respect for his team, just like Essien. Remember them during Grant’s reign, sitting on the bench listening to music, what a joke. If Essien is the fulcrum, then Drogba is the spear fo the farce.

Absolutley cracking player. He and Lampard in the midfield is what makes chelsea tick. Definitley at the top of the list of players to retain. It is however, time for chelsea to rebuild.

Essien is a fantastic player, something that seemed totally ignored by those who were so quick to declare Chelsea rubbish during the winter. Admittedly, they could have done better while he was out, but is it really that surprising that a team would decline a bit if they lose their best player for five months?
