Drogba, shite?
Probably. He even scored a flukey Van-Nistlerooy type goal today. Definitely not world class.

Yes, he is awful. Can only thank god you haven't got any better strikers yet. Crespo is and can be lethal, but doesn't seem to be favoured by Mourinho. Jose seem to prefer these workmanlike players to the creative ones.
Yes, and no.Taipan said:
He makes intelligent runs, but it's pointless. No one finds him, and he doesn't create space for others, because there's no one else there to create space for.
He doesn't bring the wingers into the game at all, if anything, he gets in their way. He's the only one they have to look for in the middle, and he spends half his time not being in the middle.
He's a very good player, but not suited to Chelsea, just another waste of talent

That Smith and van Nistlerooij, they're creative and they score lots of spectacular goals too, I spose?
Rubbish goal sums him up, better chance later on and he shows his true class.
I'd be ashamed to claim that goal to be honest.
The fecking great hulking lump of shite.

Hope you were suitably embarrassed when Garcia deigned to claim "that" goal last season that got you through to the CL Final - which never crossed the line.

At least he did actually shoot.

What a comparison, you fecking moron... Ruud vs Drogba.
One of the best strikers in the world and a player that makes Heskey look talented. Ruud has been one of the top strikers in the world for the last seasons. He is a 30 goal man / season and does generally not need 2 chances, especially not from close up. Always positioned right as well. Drogba on the other hand is a pile of wank who was shit last year and still looks shit this year. He needs 7 - 10 chances from 2 meters to score. Nevermind scoring from distance as that is totally beyond his ability.
You compare the two because they score from close-up, you are right. Reason is somewhat different though, it is part of Ruuds game as a natural striker, positioning is key to his game, he rarely tries from a distance either. The few times Drogba scores it is obviously likely that it is from a position near the goal as he is barely able to hit the target from that distance.

Who's comparing Ruud and Drogba?
Someone mentioned he scored a lucky, crap and thoroughly undeserved goal on Sunday.
I just told him he was right - it was the sort of goal van Nistlerooij usually scores. Learn to read.
Sod how lucky / crap he is. The thing that makes Drogba so annoying is the fact that he whinges even more than Lehmann. And who would have thought that was possible? If I was a ref, I'd want to punch him in the mouth by the end of the game.
Why would a shite player at another club, whom the manager keeps picking irrate you. I think we should be glad that Jose is going to keep playing him

Drogba scores free-kicks, and i don't mean indirect ones from inside the box either.
He's not as bad as this thread suggests. Just that he's not worth 24m. How many Cl goals did he get last year by the way, i seem to remember him getting some important ones late on. Nah, he's worth abouth 7-10m for me, but not the worst striker i've ever seen.

Bit of a mistake comparing him to one of the great goalscoreres of this generation and europes most prolific striker.Stamford Bridge said:Drogba, shite?

Ruud scores undeserved goals??Stamford Bridge said:
So goal poachers score goals they dont deserve? Great theory that.. Bad man that ruud, so many goals, didnt deserves any of them.

Does Ruud usually score Lucky or undeserved goals. Can't remember that many to be fair.

Yes.
Like he scored an undeserved one against Villa. Not that United didn't deserve it. Ruud didn't deserve it. he was pretty much cack in that match.
Basically stamford thinks that any scored from close range is undeserved.Looking Busy said:
What a shite theory. You need your head checked. Hes a pure goalscorer, thats his role, and he does it better than anyone else.Stamford Bridge said:
Drogba is not a £24million player. No where near it.
Ruud was very good against Villa, most of our attacks started with the ball being played to him, so he could hold it up for others to get foward.
Why does no-one seem to notice how well Ruud can hold up the ball? It's the main part of his game

Because most people are idiots noodle.
Ruud is miles ahead of almost all strikers in the league....and I agree with what Paddy said about Drogba.
Drogba might not be a £24million striker but he is a good player. I got a compilation of him and he scores with his head, both feet, long range, close range and scores freekicks himself...There are'nt many strikers that can say they can do that. Sure, his first touch is heavy but Saha's even worse, in fact, there are a host of players in the EPL that have worst first touches.
I don't quite understand why people whine so much about him. He irritates me because he's a whining twat...and it seems the people here who calls him a whining twat are whining twats themselves!
Why the feck should we care for Chelski's strikers? Let's worry about our own!

I agree that Crespo is much better footballer than Drogba, but in Italy he mostly played with a striking partner. At Chelsea, as the lone striker, he stretches the play on a counter by showing himself on the wings, but most often doesn't get the support to play with or have the pace to run by the defender. Drogba on the other hand tends to play the outlet ball down the middle and has been IMO a bit fortunate to get the goals against Arsenal.
Having said that, it doesn't appear that either of them being prolific in the premiership is necessarily important for you guys winning games.
noodlehair said:
He does hold the ball up very well.
When he is at his best, that is, which he hasn't been for near two seasons now.
Against Villa he lost the ball loads of times, including one when Villa were pressing (they were a goal down) and he got the ball off a quick counterattack. Had a defender behind him, tried to do a clever turn and discovered he'd left the ball behind.
Yep, reminds me of Drogba alright.
I entered the Sun Dreamteam fantasy league this year with 300k up for grabs.
My forward line is Defoe Rooney Drogba.
VDS in goals and my entire defence is made up with Arsenal and Spurs.
Let's just say I'm quietly confident of a result somewhere along the line.
I'm currently 15,000 and something, but thats out of over a million and I'm only playing with ten men at the minute.
Next week I'll be in the top thousand and then some.

Ruud didn't have a great match but he didn't have a bad one either. His movement is very good, he held the ball up excellently on a number of occassions. The thing is a lot of Ruud's play can get overlooked because of Rooney
He did, but hes getting there, hes slowly getting close to his best, which would be a scary thought for premiership defenders. Hes beginning to get goals which is what hes all about. And that incident your talking about.. was that the move in which he back healed it to ronaldo, who took the ball forward but whose shot was blocked??Stamford Bridge said:
Ruud is getting back to his best, he hardly scores fluke goals, according to you every goal he scores is undeserves, just shows how clueless you are.
