Good game last night against a completely non existent Betis midfield, still stand by my opinion that hes not a 20 million plus player in a million years

Of course when Betis qualified last season and pre the game v luckypool a few weeks back they were highly rated, especially in midfield, what a lame excuse.

Who is in all fairness worth 20 mil? Rio? Drunky Dumpy put him in his place last night. Vieri? Becks? SWP? 20 mil is scandalous to be paying.

If this guy is going to be this good after 10 games imagine what he'll be like when he settles in like Makelele and Drogba now seem to have done.

[Lim till i die]

I didn't rate their midfield particularly highly

And I think by mentioning Dogba you've confirmed my point about Chelsea paying over the odds

The boy might have got away with it in France but if he continues to 'go over the ball' in tackles (like his gem last night on Hamann) then he'll be taking a nice trip up the King's Rd to see our friends at Lancaster Gate answering to a disrepute charge.

Good cause to open this thread again after his attempt to relieve Didier Hamann of his kneecap last night. It was a cynical, cowardly, scummy thing to do and this guy, for all his ability, needs to be taught a lesson. Pity Keane and Vieira are no longer in the premiership as they're probably the only ones capable of giving it to him.

horrible horrible tackle , made no attempt to play the ball as you say a cowardly tackle .

there was a lot of that last night Gallas was guilty of a few aswell one on kewell .

what about sissoko!,purposely going over the ball & a late tackle on SWP should have seen him walk really . just as cowardly and cosistent fouling all game little trips and kicks allover the park

Essien is a big, hulking, brainless, brute of an animal of a footballer. He's like Sissoko on steroids

UEFA are hanging fire on whether to take action following Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien’s controversial challenge on Dietmar Hamann during last night’s draw against Liverpool in the Champions League game at Stamford Bridge.

European football’s governing body are awaiting reports from referee Herbert Frandel and match delegate Indrek Kannik of Spain.

They are expected to arrive within the next few days and it might be it is the German official and not the player who is carpeted.

Frandel did not penalise Essien for his lunge at Hamman – the Liverpool midfielder described it as “the worst tackle I have experienced in my career.”

A UEFA spokesman said: “The fact that he did not show any card does not mean that UEFA later can say it was an incident for a red card or yellow.

“But there will be evaluation of the referee as always by the match observer.”

* High horses all round, ref saw it - knew it was an accident and barely made contact yet still people crying about it.

Now that filth bag Sissoko who went over the top of the ball in what the pros call a sure fire way of "doing" someone. Is he going to be banned for three games also?















































































* The above post is in true Devils Advocate style, as my defence of the Essien thug after Notlob game was well and truly wrong and Soapy Joe was spot on.

"I didn't see it.I'll have to watch the video before i comment.All i saw was Essien's tackle."-what Benitez should have said after Jose had his moan.

[Hulsey]

Have to say I didn't think it was as bad as everyone is making out. If I were the ref would have booked him and told him to watch it nothing more. Personally thought Sissokos over the ball tackle on Gudjonson was far worse. Why is no one starting a thread about him being a cheat. Get over it. And before anyone asks I'm not a chelsea fan.

because liverpool fans get convient memory blanks ...
essein is a dirty cheat after his tackle but none would call gerrad a dirty cheat after he bust cambell with a very similar tackle just above the knee or his 2 footed stamp on naysmith .

Did he mean it or was he trying to avoid Gerrard? From the first camera view I didn't think he meant it but the close up one makes it look like he definitely meant it.

Its obvious Mourinho is lying though. I think his honeymoon period is over and he's not the great man he was.

and here is a pic to remind all liverpool fans of gerrards horrible cynical tackle on naysmith makes essein's look tame .

you will note its above the knee & its 2 footed

[Dun Laoire]

That was a tad over the top by Essien must i say

[aido_b]

Essiens tackle was disgusting! was watching the match hoping that gerard would mince him! players like him don't deserve to be playing in matches like that!

Are you a complete fool or just not aware of the full facts what people are trying to say is that Essien is getting away with these tackles not even a booking. Gerrard was hauled up in front of the FA for his tackle and punished with a 3 or 5 game ban. No Liverpool fans on here stud up for him so i think your point is pretty stupid.

no im not a fool as this is what was said about the tackle :

[quote]It was a cynical, cowardly, scummy thing to do [quote]

no one is talking about him getting away with it .

essein isnt getting away with it as in both cases the ref didnt act during the game but the fa will . the other tackle v bolton was delt with by the ref = isnt getting away with it

who's the fool now .
