Had no idea Drogba scored so few goals, but just like in Ibra's case he brings so many other things with his physicality. Just shows how important it is to have goals coming from other positions as well. And Drogba also played as a lone striker I think (excluding the time when Mourinho tried to accomodate Sheva).
Yes, was a bit surprised as well. This is why I wanted to compare him with Ibra too, he's the closest one to Ibra if you look at what they contribute with, physique and style of play. Not exactly the same, but that's because Ibra's very unique.
And strikers often miss goals. You're talking smack.
Drogba wasn't a great finisher, his first season wasn't that great at Chelsea at all. He was one of those strikers would hit row Z far too often, like really horrible shots. His great strength was being a big game player, however.
You literally said why do you think so many own goals are scored haha
Which means becauses its harder to clear the ball, that's your own opinion
No, it's because it's hard to control the ball and put it in the exact direction you want. Defenders don't score more own goals than they clear, but they do score a number of own goals from such situations. Not because it's easier to score, but because it's difficult to direct the ball. I don't know how else you need this explained to you but it's really not that hard to understand. Anyway this is too old of a topic and I really don't care to talk about it anymore.
Because it's too hard to direct away from goal, to hard to control away from goal.
6 yards out you hit the ball forward in any manor and it goes in.
No worries dude
Rostov 1:1 Man Utd
Great assist. Far more difficult than it looked and made it look easy.
Aye definitely made it look easy. As usual.
Difference maker. Again.
What an assist, stops it with one flicks it with another leg.
Awesome assist there. State-of-art footwork in a never-ending second.
Shite again
Except the assist he didn't do much
Great assist, so-so perfomance. I dont blame him though.
We were just lumping balls for him to chase aimlessly.
Fecking hell. Some people.
Thankless task today but did very well. Caused them loads of problems and his assist was top class.
Am I wrong though? He didn't do anything of note after the assist. Not his fault entirely either.
Shite?
Great assist
Great assist
Did fine in a tough role today, I wish he'd stop taking pot shots from distance when he's not even balanced though, just a pointless give away of possession
Anyone got a gif of the goal? Missed the game due to work
He worked his socks off. That was pretty much a prime Rooney performance, and I mean prime not as a sarcastic comment, but in fact the way Rooney used to play at his best. Hustle the defenses, working his socks off and pulling a perfect assist out of his hat.
You are wrong. He held the ball up well, won a lot of headers and generally put himself about. A decent performance all round, considering the conditions.
Just seen it. He did well to make something happen there. Can't comment on the rest of the game though.
Great assist. Aside from that, he didn't have much to work with, thanks to the constant fouling disrupting any flow, hoofball, and quality of the pitch.
34 goals/assists in 40 games 
Regardless of the state of the pitch/game, there's always someone who expects that Ibra will transform into super saiyan and - while screaming "are you watching me, Pep, you worthless human?" - score 5 goals in 5 minutes. Funny.
Great assist, by the way.
Great assist, by the way.
Put himself about making things diufficult for their CB's and got an assist, can't ask for much more when you spend most of the game asking him to run after up and under's.
Good performance, the assist was excellent.
Worked hard up top on his own, having to feed off a lot of scraps too.
That assist was beautiful. He made it look so easy too.
Agreed, he had a thankless job given the conditions basically made it a non football contest, and he did well to chase defenders, win us a few throw-ins, hold the ball up, etc.

Thought he did very well today, considering how little support he had most times.
Really good assist. It looked like he was going to overrun it, then he just effortlessly pokes it with his other foot. He really doesn't move like a 35 year old. His balance and agility is extraordinary.
Have to change my tone. Considering the bad conditions of the pitch, and Jose playing 5 defenders, Zlatan did pretty well. But there's a alot more to come yet
Kind of reminded me of that berbatov assist for Ronaldo against West Ham, just without the turn.
