The Case For Didier Drogba

On Sunday the legendary, and probably Chelsea’s best player of all time, will return to the Bridge.   However, as well as welcoming Zola back to Stamford Bridge, I will also welcome the return of Didier Drogba from his three-match ban . Anelka is in the form of his life and is very much top of the race for the golden boot with 13 goals, with second place being Robinho five goals behind.   You could argue the majority of Anelka’s goals seem to come away from home where we get more space and can hit teams on the break. While at home and in the big games Anelka goes missing for me especially when teams come to defend or get their tactics spot on.   We often run out of ideas and end up kicking the ball long. Now with Anelka at front this is not going to work. Anelka’s best attribute is not his physical presence it’s staying on the last man using his pace to get in behind.   As many of you would probably agree we need a plan B.    ... (link)
