good news for us.....not so for them!!!

he is a good player and priceless to them...they will sorely miss him...but they have good cover in mikel....
they will cause us a lot of problems and we will hvae to wait and see how big a problem as there are possibilities of injuries and that can hamper our chances as well.........
and one more thing is the game is at the bridge.....
we have to go all out and win this........or atleast get a result out of it....!!

utd might have a lucky break here if essien is injured ,chelsea will surely miss this great player and with gerrard also missing for liverpool utd can get something from both games.
if we can stay with chelsea until ronaldo is firing again we will have a great chance of getting the hat trick {3 titles in a row} which is a lot harder to do than most fans realize.

Michael Essien is one of the best central midfield players in the Premiership. He would be a huge loss to Chelsea...if it's true.

[akash_reds]

seems like players are being injured just when utd are coming!!
lol...torres and gerrard out for pool right??? lmao!!
wont be an easy game though.....it will be tough....

chelsea is the main problem...they have a great team with good depth and as i told before they have mikel as cover for essien...

ronaldo will come on v chelsea for last 10 mins and score

[akash_reds]

lol...
actually...for how long is ronaldo injured??

[nigelchin]

i thought he will be back by only october the earliest? LOL

i say, rooney tevez and berbatov to score! or maybe manucho, he's unknown quantity, maybe come on the last 20 mins and destroy terry and get a hattrick!

terry a worldclass defender yeah? LOL!

[akash_reds]

lol...high hopes of manucho!!!
i think rooney or tevez could come on as a super sub.....and manucho play a few reserve games and prove himself there....then to the first team if he plays well....but with the 7 subs in the bench maybe maucho can be kept there!!

Ya would be excellent news if he was injured I'd be v confident of taking them if he was, he's the heartbeat of that midfield, Deco wouldn be able to have the same impact without him... Lampard will be nowhere to be seen as always, is Ballack injured also or is that my imagination?

Hopefully we'll have Hargreaves fit by then, I expect two victories against Liverpool and the Rentboys

[RedMurph7]

Would be a boost to us if he was out.
I think he is there best central midfield player.
