Drogba Past His Best

Chelsea have had a good week or two leading up to this weekends clash with Wigan where their recent momentum up the Premier League table took a hit with a late Wigan equaliser.  There has been one common denominator for these recent Chelsea performances, and that has been veteran striker Didier Drogba.

Outstanding against Valencia in the 3-0 Champions League clash and again in the Monday night battle with Manchester City, it looked like Drogba has finally found his form again.  But there were signs of his poor early season form again at the DW Stadium today.

Didier Drogba - Just like a tube of toothpaste

I have used a few metaphors to describe Drogba over the last week, and my favourite has bene to compare the striker with a tube of toothpaste.  Just when you think there isn't much left, you can always squeeze a little bit more out at the end.  But only a little bit.

With Anelka gone, Torres wildly inconsistent (see 'Chelsea Set To Give Up On Torres') and Daniel Sturridge the only front man showing any signs of consistency in front of goal, is it time for Chelsea to cash in on Drogba while they can?
