Actually come to think of it didn't we score a late minute goal against Sunderland at OT last season when they had that muppet Ricky Sbragia in charge? We really struggled that day attack wise.
I agree we have been average but its the defence as well as trying to bed in a new keeper due to injury. Don't forget it was arguably the record breaking defence + keeper last year that won us the title.
Regarding Drogba, I probably hate him more than any other Premiership player. Diving is one thing, play acting is far worse IMO.
The thing is mate, every team seems to be in a different situation to where they were last year, we are probably weaker, so are you...Chelsea look strong at the moment but will fade IMO come African Nations time.
Its way too early to be worried or be making predictions.
Drogba is fast overtaking Gary Neville!! lol ( probably only cos i dont see as much as Neville nowadays!
)
As a side line, did any one watch Real Madrid at the weekend? fuck me how shit are they at the back! they were poor last year but christ they were shocking!
