mrmojorisin75 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Essien is one of the best players in this league, i dont think players who play CM get the dues, unless they are 'Stevie G' Gerrard is English, so the English media suckle his arse. Hardly a conspiracy. Essien is definitely one of the best players in the world. Can do everything, though could score more, and has the intelligence and attitude Gerrard lacks. Surely anyone would love to have him in their team. When he replicates his Liverpool form for England, I'd glady have him in the England team every game without doubt. However, is that ever going to happen? It hasn't so far in 70 caps. I hope he proves me wrong one day because if he does replicate his Liverpool form, we might actually get somewhere in South Africa next year. For me, Gerrard is a world-class player but only in terms of league football because he doesn't perform on the International stage. Messi is streets ahead in regards to the original question by the way. Fair enough. Can't comment on that, because I haven't watched an England game since 2006. like to see gerrard playing as high up for england as he does for liverpool - no one would touch him too ballsy for cappello i'd imagine though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't comment on that, because I haven't watched an England game since 2006. it would be interesting to see gerrard in a similar set up to that at liverpool where he gets more freedom .rooney to left and cole (when fit) to the right maybe. don't know who to put up front mind with maybe lampard and barry in behind. he's certainly moved a notch or two up on my list this season.

Nobody Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Not that it needed confirming but after the two games tonight, there is only one winner. Essien. Not really, but he's second IMO. Messi have been unstoppable this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 god i hope messi tears chelsea to tiny, tiny little pieces when they likely play as much as i like hiddink i hate to see it when the most obviously talented footballer comes away with nothing, see shearer, alan vs cole, andrew/andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 As much as I like Gerrard, Lampard, Kaka and Fabregas for the cm roles, their style means that the ball and play revolves around them, but why purposely take the ball away from Messi?
