ws6blue Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 yes he has been a great player and yes he can score some goals and occasionally the killer pass...............but his all-round game now is lacklustre at best as; 1. he only has a short game, and thats patchy - never does a diagonal or long ball 2. always fouls in the middle-third so puts pressure on the defence nedlessly 4. never jumps, so doesn't win headers 4. is one-paced and thats slow medium (using cricket term) yes he runs at that one -pace a long way but he is not adding anything to the team dynamic opposing players see him infront of em and take him on but yes he's a big character in the changing room and part of the clique and thats why he gets the pick over others sooner we are rid the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is Essien everything you just described is complete opposite of him. Ballack is well past his best but in the latter stages of CL and PL he can offer something you only gain by playing as much as he has. Experience. He's been very good at spring every season. In games against Scum and Manu I prefer him over Mikel every time. Old men spring to life! But yes I agree he should go back to Germany after this season and finish off his great career there.

cechmate Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 agree with this ^^ he has a part to play in CL but he is really getting on, and i think he would be best in a german team team to finish his career. he is loved here in germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
