shirib, I didn't say that, eto'o was a brilliant player in his own right he scored in two CL finals and won many games by his brilliance but he also played in exceptional teams whereas drogba took a crap team and single handely won them the CL - whether messi or robben missed or not.
You have to give his that, that first leg match against barca drogba was an animal he destroyed them, he held the ball up and punished them when he got a scoring chance.

he was also a big game player, scoring all the time against arsenal, liverpool, man utd, barcelona etc

That Chelsea team was beyond lucky. They won cause Messi and Robben missed penalties.

Eto'o is more clinical, faster, better pace than Drogba. You said Drogba could eat up a team by himself, and making it sound like Eto'o wasn't a game changer of his own, who could destroy opposing defenses.

And plus Eto was the game changer in 2 CL finals; vs Arsenal in '06 and vs Man utd in '09

Defense won it for Chelsea. They could have won it with any other striker.

That CL was beyond lucky by Chelsea. The defense played more and Drogba gave up two penalties which were luckily not converted.

That Chelsea teams roster was not bad tbh, they were not shit like you claim.

Eto'o showed up in more big games than anyone else. Way more than Drogba who got sent off in big games more than anything else.

what about that african cup on nations match where drogba scored the winning penalty vs cameroon and eto'o missed

let's agree to disagree - I would put drogba as the best player to play in the premier league after ronaldo

Are you serious? I'd name five better players on top of my head : Berkamp, Henry, Zola, Alan Shearar and Gigs

[Turbulence]

Samuel Eto'o for me. The best African striker ever and the best player as well. Nothing to do with the teams he played. He did well everywhere he went.

The only reason he didn't get my vote is he failed to shine with his national team even tho that cameron team in 2000's were really good

Wait you picked Jay Jay Okocha and George Weah who didn't do much for their national side either, and I can argue that Nigeria had a better squad than Cameroon

[SahanGalbeed]

Didier Drogba .

ninyahow iska seexo, giggs? shearer? man you don't know nothing, I'll give you bergkamp, henry and zola but they weren't better than droga.

At one point henry was the best striker around the only thing that let him down was that he choked on the biggest stage in his life - 2006 Cl final in his home city, what could go wrong. He even had a one on one chance and he messed it up, whereas eto'o took his chance and the rest is history.
same with bergkamp he never lived up to the big nights in the CL or even the world cup.

The greats are those who grab their team by the scruff of the neck and win the big two (either the World cup or the CL):

Messi - in his own league

C. Ronaldo - below him

zidane, iniesta, xavi, villa, drogba, eto'o, maldini, Ronaldo, ronaldinho, figo and many more
