Didier Drogba

[Jase 43,479]

The big man proved me wrong. Thought we were almost goners if he starts against United but he played well. Held the ball up well and linked nicely with others. Fantastic header for the goal too. Had no idea why Van Gaal put Rafael to mark Drogba rather than Van Persie, who was standing at the goal post. Absolutely ridiculous but not going to complain much about that. And if he was 100% fit, think he would have converted that chance in the first half.

His link up play is still impeccable.

Without meaning to start a flame war, having to see the horrible sight of Lampard in a City shirt makes me appreciate Didier even more.

Can't take to much on one match but maybe I was wrong, maybe he could better his first exit this time round?

Dude is the most clutch big game footballer I've ever seen.

I thought he was shit?

Some fans on here, you guys kill me!

He's nearing full fitness again and he looks like a beast.

The King! Might not be fit for 90 mins, but people should never doubt King Didier's big blue heart.

funny that you posted this, because Matic has noted this on the practice pitch & now in matches. We all knew that with DD returning, he will be a presence in the Locker room. After his past performances this week, we are reaping the fruit of this decision to bring DD back to Da Blues.

His hold up play was top notch, but his pace (or lack of) was a big problem, especially on the counter.

Old Man DD is still looking better than Torres did last season

180 minutes of football in the space of 3 days, surely this means Jose knows that Remy or Diego will be available against QPR??

Warrior!

G shit

Another game where a 36 year old is outperforming 90% of the players on the pitch. I don't know if this speaks volumes of Drogba's talent or a sad indictment on our supposedly strong squad.

3 goals in a week. Not bad. Are the idiots slagging him off when he was short of fitness going to hold their hands up?

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

2nd choice now.

[LondonsFinest 692]

So, are we still backing the theory he is worse than Roman Bezak?

[The Chels 2,502]

He's really surprised me these past few games. We have 3 strikers all capable of scoring, wahey!

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Diego who?

I don't think our squads weak, it looks it in the COC games because we play most of the squad player's in one go.

Most of the players tonight can fill in, but there's a reason there all squad player's.
