Was he elite or shit?

>>77000222
>playing in the US minor leagues
ill let you guess

has there ever been a better big game player than Drogba?

He is one of the GOAT clutch players who you want on your team when you're 2-1 down in the 90th minute. That said, he had some embarrassing habits of getting a long pass from Cech and then collapsing for a deep full Eve though he was bigger than 95% of his opponents

>champs league final
>bayern scores in 83 minutes
>fate sealed
>Drogba hits a fucking header that has no reason to go in the net to tie it up
>fowls Robben in the box in extra time
>shakes head knowing the call is bullshit
>Cech saves it miraculously
>Drogba scores shootout winner

also was the sole reason they beat Barca that season.

>With a career record of scoring 10 goals in 10 finals winning 10 trophies at club level, Drogba has been referred to as the "ultimate big game player"

>>77000535
Chelsea DNA.

Costa is harder than 99% of the league too yet spends half the game on the floor.

>>77000552
I thought you implied he would fake an injury to get treatment from that Chelsea female physio

discount eto'o

>>77000523
no

>>77000607
Costa played most of his career in Spain though, that's the standard there.

>>77000222
He peaked at Guingamp then he was shit afterwards.

Wasn't the most prolific goal scorer but scored almost always when it was needed of him. Big game player.

He was a good player.

>>77000563
>choked in the CCL

elite strength-based striker

the player lukaku wishes he was but will never be

Lukaku will end his career with more goals and potentially more trophies than Drogba.

Drogba was nowhere at Lukaku's age.

>>77000222
he never came back to Marseille as promised

Just because they are black doesnt mean they are similar

Anon please

>>77003612
Not saying that was all he was but it was a huge part of his game

elite of course

>>77000332
>US minor leagues
>mls
>minor leagues

your a fuckin retard

>>77000222
Elite, obviously.

>>77004681
Actually, Drogba currently plays for Phoenix FC in the USL, which is the second-tier of American soccer. It's a minor league team.

>>77004720
oh

I'm pretty sure he and Luiz had a threesome with Eva at some point during their whole stint together.

>>77000332
he's 39 years old
and he's one of the owners of that team

so its ok

>>77000332
He part owns the team he plays for now.

Was still free scoring in the MLS at 40 years old.

The black Zidane - Average during most of the season, but when it's a Final or an important match, he'll show up and score a blooter. Casuals will only recognize one side of the coin and will call him a legend because of it.

>>77004873
>The black Zidane

How can so much retardation come from just three words?

>>77003241
Not at United he won't

>>77004681
>>77003536
He literally owns the team. Probably just doesn't feel like playing 90 min

Won a CL by himself
Definitely elite

Drogba is the best african striker ever

>>77004873
Americans need to be banned from posting

>>77005032
eto'o m8, one of the best strikers period. drogba comes second

>>77004681
Do you like to just spout bullshit you know nothing about?

>>77000222
He's a top 10 striker of all time, also top 10 flopper.

Also Eto'o was better.

>>77008734
>top 10 striker of all time
>also Eto'o was better

Neither are top 10 all time, not even close

>>77008784
Okay let's see your top 10 striker list

>>77004873
>Didier Drogba
>the black Zidane
wew
no

>>77004873
disregarding the zidane comment
> Average during most of the season
drogba terrorised defences. he wasn't prolific but in his prime he was an unstoppable machine

>>77008794
>>77008784
Still waiting for you to deliver anon

Worse than Henry

>inb4 le big gaem meme

>>77009181
>worse than the best striker in english football history

not many would disagree. i'd put drogba 3rd under shearer

>>77009438
>Shearer
Van Nistelrooy was better

>>77009108

Off the top of my head:

Pele
Eusebio
Puskas
G. Muller
Ronaldo
Van Basten
Romario
Suarez
Henry

Then there's the likes of Batistuta, Shevchenko, Raul, Zlatan, Lewandowski, Greaves, Papin, Villa and others who I'd have ahead of them in an all time list.

>>77009580
no way. shearer never, ever missed the target. henry is only above him because his technique was one of a kind

>>77009733
RVN was a better finisher imo

>>77008438
what are you talking about?

>>77009611
>Greaves
>Papin
>Suarez
>Lewandowski

Gimme a break m8 Drogba accomplished more.

>>77009750
fair enough, he was certainly elite-tier.

>>77009611
>that flag this topic

>>77009611
If you're talking strictly #9s which a few of those aren't, Eto'o would get in a top 10.

>>77010203
>that flag this topic

>>77009611
>Shearer never gets mentioned even though he remains far and away the league's top goal scorer while playing the majority of his career after a serious injury on a Newcastle side he kept up on his own for at least 6 years

I mean you can't be older than 17 so I'll give you a pass, but if you're going to mention players you've never seen play at least include relevant ones and not literal memes.

>>77002624
Concacaf Champions League you chump. It doesn't get bigger than that.

>>77010957
of course he never gets mentioned, he's english.

just like how owen is forgotten despite being one of the fastest players in history, or lineker who scored for fun in world cups

Drogba is the Archetype Mourinho Striker.

Perfect marriage.

>>77005123

Weah was better than Drogba too

>muh clutch
Messi has more goals in more finals

>>77011622
and Messi is regarded as the GOAT

non-argument mate

>>77000222
Utter shit

>>77000222
He was a fucking disgrace

Shevchenko was better

>>77009840

No he didn't

>>77000222
Shit He was a way shitter than Eto'o.
