You could be right and I hope that is the case. He is far more of an influence in central midfield. Alonso and Mascherano totally dominated the midfield battle yesterday and if Essien isn't deployed in a midfield role then that will play into our hands as we know we can control the midfield up agaisnt Lampard, Makelele and Ballack.
