Wow OK. So an away loss in CL, is nowadays equal to "would not have made it into the top 4 of premier league". Despite them having a brilliant start to the season and still being third on the table after their bad 6-games mid season downer. Takes the cake for the most subjective-speculative argument I've heard in a long while.
And yeah OK. Drogba was pretty instrumental, but people conveniently forget what a alarmingly bad time he came to the scene (after the thrashing at the hands of Napoli and a fucked up PL season). Are you really telling me he was just an impassive bum who lucked out? I don't see how doing even some readily apparent things takes away his credit at all. He had to urgently restrcture AVB's team tactics at like minimal notice. Way to downplay the role of a manager.
