Essien of course is not the Essien of old, there is doubt about that because of aging. I will expect Essien to constantly run into empty spaces to receive balls especially when he releases them.On one occasion he unexpectedly surged forward with a lightening speed, he was nearly rewarded with a goal. Though I don't know the role he was asked to play, I saw on many times he had enough empty space to run and help surge the team forward. Essien also must do some tackling at times than always retreating to cover. It gives the opponents the relief to easily release the ball to his partner. All the same, it was a good start for a new team in such a high profile match. Keep it up!

Great! I think he didn't want to make mistakes. Overall your assessment casts a good shadow of him. I believe as he continues to play more matches he will definitely gain confidence.

TACKLE OPPOSING ATTACKERS AND DISPOSE THEM OFF THE BALL,WITH LESS STRENGTH. HE NEDS TO UP HIS CONFIDENCE. THIS GAME IS ALL ABOUT HAVING SUPREME CONFIDENCE AND PLAYING, RUNNING ON YOUR TOES.
IF ESSIEN CAN DO EVEN 2/3 HE WILL BE MORE SOUGHT AFTER....

AGAIN,LIKE I SAID BEFORE. I SAID THAT MILAN'S DEFENCE IS POROUS AND LO AND BEHOLD IT WAS SHOWN AGAIN. THEY BETTER GO N GRAB A VETERAN DEFENDER TO BRING SOME DISCIPLINE AND DIRECTION BACK THERE. MILAN OUTPLAYED ATHLETICO, BUT THAT 1 LOOSE MISTAKE COST THEM. IT WAS ALL DUE TO LACK OF MATURITY AND INEXPERIENCE IN DEENCE AND NOTHING ELSE. TWEAA, THE ATHLETICO GUY WAS WIDE OPEN TO HEAD WITH FULL VIM. IF U OPEN UR NYASH NA SO. WHO NO GO ENTER FREE?......ESSIEN PLAYED WELL...I WILL GIVE HIM A 6.5/7 OUT OF 10

I know Essien isn't finish; he still got some energy in him.

Graded 6.9 second best in the Milan side is very good. As he gradually get the support of the fans he will do far better.
