[chelseaSingapore 0]

Every single defender who faced off against Ruud van Nistelrooy and Didier Drobga during the mid-2000s likely has PTSD over it.

Both number nines were defender's nightmares, using their poacher's instincts, deft touches and strength to dominate Premier League backlines.

But who was better?

Ruud probably a better finisher, Drogba probably a better all round player. Both pretty class on their day though no doubt.

Think RvN more of a penalty box player but he was always so clever in how he moved and how he got onto the end of things.

Drogba’s all round play as well as big game record, hard to knock also.
