The majority of the teams he plays against lack any real quality, they are rabble compared to the likes of Barcelona with no real technical ability or skill to speak of. Essien plays a similar role to Lampard most of the time, they play one holding midfielder, usually Makele, or Essien if Makele's not playing, but they quite often play Gudjohnson alongside Lampard and he's a forward really!

They didn't have Essien last season and they haven't changed their system since he arrived. I don't think Mourinho's so stupid to effectively play the player he hailed the best in the world out of position, especially since he was being so anonymous and they have other players who could do that.

It's just the Chelsea-Barca hype machine that means turds like Drogba can be voted 6th best in the world or something stupid and no-one else gets a look in.
