    Drogba is much better in a 4-4-2.

    Don't get me wrong, I think he's perhaps the best target man in the world in a 4-5-1, but in this system, it was more about Drogba setting up Lampard rather than Drogs scoring himself.

    Since Jose switched to 4-4-2 (first Drogba-Crespo now Drogba-Shevchenko), Drogba's performances have been superb, and he's been scoring many more goals. By contrast, Lampard has scored fewer.

    Well said but Jose would be very reluctant to play that formation wouldn't he? He'd either adopt a 4-2-2-2 or 4-1-3-2. I suppose he's still playing with a partner but he would best suit a strict 4-4-2.

    Drogba's goal scoring record in cup finals (9 Goals in 9 Finals) suggest otherwise.

    I didn't realize goals in finals was the only way to judge a player.Ibra and Henry have more skill in their little toe than Drogba does in his whole albeit muscular body.

    Drogba is the ultimate "clutch" player (as the yanks like to call it)

    It doesn't matter whether Ibra or any of his devout followers feel he has more natural ability than Drogba. The fact remains that no player turns it on when it's needed quite as well as Didier.

    lol!

    That goal aside, Ibra did very little to justify being one of the players of the tournament. Certainly didn't carry his team at any stage (certainly while they were still in the tournament - I didn't watch their goal last night) in the way Gerrard did last night.

    But flop of the tournament has to go to another man you were despertately hyping: Arjen Robben. Yet another disappointing performance from him on the very biggest stage. He'll put his performances in this tournament on his mantlepiece, somewhere alongside his 2 missed chances vs. Spain in the World Cup final, penalty miss (and refusing to take one in the shootout) of the CL final and penalty miss in the CL semi-final shoot out vs. Liverpool.

    Good luck to this man. For all the play acting he may do, he was sensational during our 3 title winning seasons (very unfairly criticised for a lack of goals in 04-05 when the "experts" couldn't see the number of chances he was single-handedly setting on a plate for Lampard) and always delivered in the finals (the only one he didn't score in he still managed to hit the inside of the post). Hopefully Torres can finally start to reproduce his Liverpool form given that he is now the no.1 forward (and/or we can finally sign Hulk).

    I'm sure you can tell us what Ibra did in those first 2 games (besides score an Inzaghi-style poachers goal) that justifies the tag of best striker in the world (and one of the players of the tournament).

    "6 - Only Platini (nine) and Shearer (seven) have ever scored more goals at the European Championships than Ibrahimovic (6). Star."

    Zlatan is also the first ever player to score two goals or more in three separate Euro's.

    So you post this on the same page that you post "I didn't realise goals in finals were the only way to judge a player". Laughing

    PS. I know your response will be something along the lines of "He does more than just score important goals." If so, there is no reason for your last post to exist.

    Why are you wasting your time defending Drogba? Nobody really questions Drogba. It would be like defending Zidane. There will always be those who disagree but broadly speaking Drogba's achievement, especially this year, speaks for itself.

    The real debate of this board and our time is Progress.
