Chelsea legends. the disrespect. the stats. the achievements and fair comparisons. A THREAD. Like and RT so that I know to make more and to keep making comebacks
Chelsea easily have the most disrespect set of legends of amy premier league club. No club has their legends disrespected on the daily quite like the blues really. In this thread Ill look through the main ones and see what comparisons are good and what are disrespectful
aswell as showcasing some of their stats, trophies, achievements and overall class. Lets go
1)Didier Drogba.
Ill start of with easily one of the most disrespected footballers OAT period. The king of Stamford bridge is one of the best ST of his generation but he's commonly compared to bums. a massive injustice to one of the best players to play in the Premier league
Ill start of with easily one of the most disrespected footballers OAT period. The king of Stamford bridge is one of the best ST of his generation but he's commonly compared to bums. a massive injustice to one of the best players to play in the Premier league
Lets start off with trophies. The most objective way to judge a player. Drogba's medal cabinet consists of:
4 PL titles
4 FA cups
3 league cups
2 Charity shields
1 UCL
1 Turkish league title
1 Turkish cup
1 Turkish Super cup
4 PL titles4 FA cups3 league cups2 Charity shields1 UCL1 Turkish league title1 Turkish cup1 Turkish Super cup
Trophies definitely aren't his weak point but what about his his individual awards:
1 UEFA TOTY
2 African footballer of the year
3 AFCON TOTT
5 African TOTY
2 Chelsea POTY
2 PFA TOTY
2 Premier league golden boots
1 Ligue 1 POTY
3 Ivorian POTY
1 UEFA TOTY2 African footballer of the year3 AFCON TOTT5 African TOTY2 Chelsea POTY2 PFA TOTY2 Premier league golden boots1 Ligue 1 POTY3 Ivorian POTY
Drogba definitely isn't disrespected because of his trophies OR individual awards. Then why is he? Its obviously not because of his big game record of:
-10 goals in 10 Cup finals
-15 goals in 15 games vs arsenal
-MOTM in 3 Cup finals including UCL
-59 g/a in 92 ucl games
-10 goals in 10 Cup finals
-15 goals in 15 games vs arsenal
-MOTM in 3 Cup finals including UCL
-59 g/a in 92 ucl games
Ok that proves that its not because of big game record. Could it be because of stats though? baring in mind that stats don't define a player whatsoever. drogba couldve scored 0 goals but won the same amount of trophies and he still would've been considered a legend
-He averages 1 g/a every 107 in the Premier league. A very very good ratio for a ST whos game never really evolved around goals
-He had over 300 goals and 100 assists.
-He combined with Frank Lampard to make the most prolific partnership in PL history
Brilliant player
-He had over 300 goals and 100 assists.
-He combined with Frank Lampard to make the most prolific partnership in PL history
Brilliant player
To cut short. Drogba's comparison to any PL ST but Henry, Rooney, Van persie and Van nistelrooy is absolute disrespectful. He shouldn't be compared to Vardy, Lacazette or any of the other bums.

2: Frank Lampard:
While not as commonly disrespected as Drogba, Chelsea's current manager is still underappreciated by some people including some Chelsea fans (Wierdos)

To end off. Frank Lampard is the best midfielder in premier league history. While not as naturally talented or Physically gifted as Steven Gerrard or Patrick Vieira. Lampard reached heights and won awards none of those others reached and also has the individual awards and stats
to beat Scholes and Keane. All of them are class midfielders Lampard is lonely at the top
3: John Terry. Another disrespected Chelsea legend. JT is arguably Chelsea's greatest ever player and unarguably the Premier league's best ever defender aswell as being an academy boy and a one club man (apart from one year at villa but allow it)
With an even more impressive cabinet than his aforementioned teammates. Terry has one of the most impressive trophy hauls English in football history
5 Premier leagues
5 FA cups
3 league cups
2 Charity shields
1 UEL
1 UCL
Incredible

-828 appearances for club and country
-Over 100 g/a for a defender
-Over 200 premier league clean sheets

Incredible player. by far and away the best defender to ever play in the Premier League. van Dijk comparisons are disrespectful.
Terry should be compared to the best defenders in history and in England hes clear at the top.

Honorable mentions go to Ashley Cole whom I couldn't afford a whole thread but he's arguably the best LB in history. No comparison to Robertson. aswell as eden hazard who should only be compared to Salah and Ronaldo when it comes to Premier league wingers
End of thread. hope you enjoyed. hit me with an RT and a like so that I make more, discuss and drop more suggestions for threads in the replies x. Like and RT
