Didier Drogba And The Dressing Room Unrest
Yesterday saw me do something I don’t think I’ve ever done before – I agreed with David Platt. I was watching an interview he was doing on SkySports and he was giving his opinion on what could be going on at Chelsea and, for me, he hit the nail on the head.
Having watched our game against United on Sunday, Platt says “You can excuse any player from taking a swipe at the ball and missing the target, but I don’t think there is any excuse whatsoever when you are being paid, regardless of how much, not to perform for a football club, to have a desire, determination, to work hard, to more than break sweat, to die for the cause and to lead the team. I think you can level that at a lot of Chelsea players yesterday; don’t get me wrong, but he (Drogba) is key. He’s not performing because he perhaps wants to get away to Inter and that could be the catalyst for what is going on at Chelsea.”
Although he suggests he could have it all wrong, he goes on to talk about possible dressing room unrest and says “There was a feeling when Mourinho was there that everyone was going in the same direction, regardless of whether they were in the XI that was playing. I don’t think that is the case at this moment in time at Chelsea. I might be talking out of turn because I am not in that dressing room but watching that performance I think there are things that they need to sort out. They don’t have to be friends, they don’t have to see eye-to-eye but when they come out of that door onto a football pitch they have to pull in the same direction.”
I couldn’t agree with him but my question is: why can’t everyone inside Stamford bridge see it?

Drogba was completely Ridiculous! He wasn’t even trying to create something good for the team. And laughing after misplacing the pass is completely shameless.
I say dump this piece of shit & give young Di Santo more chances.
That was the quote above…

That quote could have been about any player in any team, but today it was our turn and sorry to keep repeating it, but next week will be the same with many other teams….players egos are running the game, they are playing for the salary,stardom and nothing will change unless the people that really matter (yes you lot the fans) do something about it!!!
David Platt always played for the jersey and the club and many other players too of that era…act now before it is too late!
Occasionally clubs will get a young player in the fold, more so the poorer clubs, then the big clubs steal them at a snip and leave them to rot in the reserves….
There are probably enough players around the reserve leagues to start a league that will play for the jersey and the club and real fans can then enjoy real football….BRING IT ON!
I’ve been watching Drogba 4 many months now and even thou i have to admit he still has the potential of a mighty beast his attitude is whats killing him. I never like to saw this about a player (especialy one from the team i support) but i think his ego is his downfall. If is finished. Even if the rumors are true and Inter are really interested (hope they are, we could make some good use of some 15-20mil.) I don’t think with such attitude he’ll even last half a season. Also if he is actualy hoping that he’ll get any game time right away somebody needs to remind the dude who Zaltan Ibrhahimovich is. 4 me there is no room 4 competition. Chelsea should sell him no doubt, but not now, fist send him to play 4 the reserves ’till the end of the season. Teach him a good lesson and set an example to the other players who might be thinking of being lazy or showing off attitude. Chelsea4eva.
darshan. p needs 2 put on your fucking thinking cap before calling didier a piece of shit you bloody idiot. where were you when dider took cchelsea on his shoulder last season? you not a true chelsea for calling didier a piece of shit. we all are human beings.therefore, we go through situations. besides, didier just got back from injuries he needs more game time, not three or four games. chelsea defeat was due to defensive error, especially john terry leaving his man unmarked on all three occasions that led to those goals
