EskWeston 696 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 You can clearly see he was not as bad in his first 2 season's as what people like you to think.The trouble is that strikers are judged on their goals. And when playing in a 4-3-3, particulary in those first 2 seasons Drogba has to play more for the team which limits his scoring chances. It is no coincidence that his best scoring season was when we played with 2 up top for the main part.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didier does that better than any other striker in the world in my opinion. Playing as a lone striker is incredibly difficult, and whilst he isn't as prolific as Fernando Torres or Samuel Eto'o, his all-round contribution is simply outstanding.
