.Cee 50 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 It's not just DD's diving it's his attitude So Joey's forgiven for his diving antics and DD isn't, yes? It's not just DD's diving it's his attitude No player is perfect. I mean, just look at Lamps leading us fans on with his 'I love Chelsea' talks. Anyway, like I said, I'd still have DD with his attitude and diving as he's simply amazing on his day and is the only reliable striker we have atm.

Kez 2,727 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I just find it harder to like Drogba everytime i begin to like him he does something to piss me off & thats probably why i'm being so hard on him. I know no player is perfect & i'm hoping that this season he will be better than ever. & i'm glad that Scolari is the type of person that wont take shit off any player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 The difference between Joe Cole and Drogba is that when Joe Cole dives its usually after getting himself into a hole and cant get out of it, maybe trying an odd trick and trying for a free kick. Drogba on the other hand is a big lump of a lad and shouldnt be muscled out of a chase for a ball, he gets breathed on and he falls over. During his best season very rarely did he lose out to a defender when battling for the ball. He HAS the strength and abilty to stay on his feet. His all round play is fantastic, even in defence he's there for free kicks and corners getting the ball away. Thats the Drogba we all want to see this season, not Drogbalina Ballerina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Joe Cole isn't thought of in the same way because of his diving, due to the fact he isn't bitching about joining Mourinho every five minutes. I want Didier to stay, but I seriously hope Felipao doesn't stand for his nonsensical diving shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true, at the same time I would wish he was playing for Chelsea instead of another club as he's one of the best strikers after all. Just like I'm wishing Cristiano Ronaldo's here despite his attitude and antics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott 7 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 The start and end of Drogba is that he makes an excellent contribution for us, and whilst I am sick too of his diving, playacting and attitude, in the end if he scores all these goals you can't complain too much.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Spot on. The diving can be considered 'side effects' of being a top striker... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott 7 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I wouldn't say that at all, I'm not excusing it, just tolerating it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnie_666 1,081 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Look, I dont have have a prob with his Diving as long as he keeps pumping in Goals like he did Last year. But I HATE THE WAY HE THINKS OF HIMSELF. HE considers himself bigger than the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zinctek 470 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 i am not with you on that 1! i would rather see him play brilliant football and score goals and not dive at all! if he starts diving i just cant watch it i hae a few times started to turn the channel over cus its just sad! really really really bad! and its cheating! so you say you wouldnt mind him cheating as long as he does it right and gets away with it?

Do you remeber the UCL Semi Final First LEg at Anfield? Hpw pathetic Drogs was, and how many times he went to the floor? How many stoppages we had cus of that? and the Extra time we got cus of that? and the Goal Kalou Scored cus of that/? If it hadnt been for Drogbas diving, there wouldnt have been that many stoppages, there wudnt have been that long an extra time and there wouldnt have been time for Kalou to cross it in for that Wonder Goal whcih got us a Crucial Away Goal. All HAIL THE SNOOP DROG!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Cee 50 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) i am not with you on that 1! i would rather see him play brilliant football and score goals and not dive at all! if he starts diving i just cant watch it i hae a few times started to turn the channel over cus its just sad! really really really bad! and its cheating! so you say you wouldnt mind him cheating as long as he does it right and gets away with it? So do you turn the channel over every time our player dives or just DD? What did you do when Robben rolled around theatrically? Or when Joey does it? Even Lamps has done it a couple of times. It's kind of unreasonable to want him to play brilliant football and be perfect for us when you can't tolerate his flaws at all. Sorry to say this but it reminds me of a spoiled kid...

diskoviolente 425 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 when i became a football-maniac again i was for several years out of actuall football-knowledge, and Drogba was one of the first strikers i realized agaian (in his French days) and i was so happy when he came to the bridge. no one can deny that he is a attacking , strength striker and one of the reasons why Rafa and Fergie pissed themselves. To me it seems as if Didier gave up diving pretty soon after he came to the Premiership, and it worked well but then things changed and he started the diving shit again. I think he needs just something like a kick in the arse by a manager like Scolari and no one asks questions why Didier Drogba is in the "strikers top 5" of so many football-fans i´ll never forget the goal for us against Manunited in the FA Cup or how he put Rafas Chess-team in their place, but i also never forget how he slapped that manufucker and got the red card...that are these moments i doubt that he is a great football-player... long speech, short sense he is important if he has found his form, he is one of the dangerous strikers we need so badly but he needs to play constant and stop the divingshit (he dosen´t need to be like Ronaldo) i´d like him to stay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want Didier to stay, Yeah, well, at least he's being honest about his feelings and isn't leading us fans on with 'I love Chelsea' talks. I'm not excusing it just feels that being lead on is worse.
