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

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

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

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

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

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.

King of Stamford bridge

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)

Lamps has a trophy cabinet to rival almost anyone in world football with:

3 PL
4 FA cups
2 league cups
2 Charity shields
1 UEL
1 UCL

to his name. Absolute legend of the game and has a trophy cabinet to show for it

Now lets move onto individual awards and honours:

Ballon d'or silver award
Fifa men's POTY silver award
FWA footballer of the year
Premier league POTS 04-05
3x PL Playmaker award
FIFPro World XI 2005
UEFA midfielder of the year
Needs 2 tweets

2 English POTY
UEFA EL TOTY
3 Chelsea POTY

aswell as a bonus
PL manager of the month

Incredible player and soon to be the first English manager to win the league

Now lets move onto stats. These are just in the Premier league aswell

-611 Games
-177 Goals
-118 assists
-0.5 G/A per game

UCL

-102 games
-23 goals
-29 assists
-Over 0.5 G/A per game

FA cup

-58 games
-27 goals
-15 assists
-0.7 G/A per game

Out of this world.

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

Now we move onto individual awards where Terry also has an impressive haul.

PFA Players POTY 2004/2005
2 Chelsea POTY
4 PFA TOTY apps
5 FIFPro World XI apps
4 UEFA TOTY apps
3 UEFA defender of the year
3 ESM TOTY apps.

Astonishing

Now when you are showcasing defenders you typically shouldn't rely on stats like tackles and interceptions so Ill just list some of the important stuff. JT has:

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

^^^according to the PL app

He also was the main part of the defense in PL history conceding 15 goals the whole season.
-Only 9 of those goals were from open play
-2 of the 9 goals were conceded to 2nd place arsenal
-2 of the 9 goals were conceded after the title had been sealed

Out. of. this. World.

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
