The Asian media continues to highlight the bad performance of Ghana midfielder Michael Essien since joining top-flight side Persib Bandung.
The 34-year-old is yet to establish himself since joining as a free agent in March this year.
The former Chelsea midfielder, who joined as marquee signing, has simply been far from best, according to multiple reports in Asia.
The Asian media has been critical of the performance of the former Panathinaikos enforcer who is yet to sparkle for the side.
Essien has been unable to lift his performance for Bandung with Fox Sports Asia writing several negative articles about the African.
The Ghana international has scored two goals in 10 appearances for Persib Bandung.
