Before the road against Manchester United, Chelsea team coach Carlo Ancelotti sent to "attack, attack, then attack," the offensive order. But the result is just off the bench with Drogba's goal, the Blues just to avoid closure by the Red Devils zero. There is a problem in fact is quite puzzling: the year that support goals of Chelsea who can go where? This question, reflected in the concentration of two people who Chelsea: Michael Essien Football Shirt and Frank Lampard. Start with Michael Essien. The only bright spot in today's Ghana midfielder, is to give Drogba that assists the rest of most of the time, Michael Essien is tantamount to disappear. The technology from the race OPTA statistics also reflect that: a full match, Michael Essien only 1 pass, his data focused on the defensive: 5 tackles, 2 steals, 2 siege , and shot the numbers are 0.

But, you know, just 2 years ago, Michael Essien Chelsea and Barcelona are still in progress on the necessary condition for battles over the ball. That was in 2009 Champions League semi-finals, that game start only 9 minutes, Essien outside the restricted area of ??a note of the Barcelona Lengshe break the door. 2006-2007 season, group stage, Chelsea 2-2 away draw against a stubborn Barcelona, ??Mourinho is still sliding remember kneeling on the scene, but the Chelsea tie that the key field, it is Mourinho the impact of Premier League Shirts Michael Essien to play right guard arrangement left-wing opponents of the initiative. That time, it was generally believed that the power represented by Michael Essien and impact play, the most feared team in Barcelona. In 2007, Michael Essien as the right guard, also quarter-final second leg away to Valencia in stoppage time to break the game, then kick Shitailichen the center of the box makes them unforgettable.

Ghanaian Michael Essien on the pitch, "Buffalo", "Train," "power station" that nickname, Mourinho once said, "Michael Essien can play a 90 minutes a day game." But now, the only 28-year-old Michael Essien is in the peak period is the time of the emergence of fatigue. This season, Chelsea's Michael Essien played a total of 37 representatives, the total time to reach the 3,174 minutes played, but scored only 4. And 3 of them Chelsea Football Shirts early in the season when Chelsea scored the all-conquering. Last year, November 10, Michael Essien at Chelsea home win over Fulham into the only goal of the game, and this is the last one so far Ghanaian goal. It can be said Essien state, with frequent injuries the past two years, there have been much of a recession.

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard, another, the game though best efforts, but the 32-year-old age has made him feel the pressure. Match, Lampard total of 3 shots, only 1 hit in the frame range. 15 minutes, Frank Lampard Florent Malouda then the restricted area of ??the cross, shot strength less impressive, easy by Drogba Shirt Edwin van der Sar, that this was a good opportunity. The first 50 minutes, Frank Lampard free kick direct shot, he missed the ball. 90 minutes, Frank Lampard's cross then Ivanovic shakes Leipzig after the point, the ball wide of the far post. Frank Lampard's close-up lens at this time reflected the mood: angry and shook his arm, murmuring, he has probably only for the powerless and frustrated, but also less than in the year for his brawn and sigh.
