Mascherano is an absolute machine for Liverpool, but so is Essien for Chelsea... It is hard to decide.. ... But due to my Liverpool bias, I'm going to have to say Masch... Edited by Danthomas2008, May 27 2008, 03:21 PM.

I think they are too different to compare, well atleast in the formation they play. Chelsea play a 4-3-3 or similar and Essien is expected to help with attacking. Liverpool play a 4-2-3-1 with Masch being one of two holding midfielders and therefore his main job is to stop the goals going in. |
