You are basing the argument of a good striker on goals alone

Whilst Drogbas influence in a Chelsea shirt goes a lot further than that

You love Earnshaw to bits, we all do, but his physical presence on a football pitch is not one of his strengths, hence Norwich need to play to his strengths to get the best out of him

Chelsea don't need to play to Drogba's strengths, he's a straight forward big striker that s**ts up defences and gives another option in attack in doing so (a bit like Crouch)

With that in mind, I don't see why he'll be dropped, he'd be missed instantly
