how can we be soo forgetful after all didier has done for chelsea, are kidding me. the boy just got back from injuries, he needs games after games to get his form. moreover, the media keep putting these bias stories out there just to sell. it would be soo irational to say that, Anelka is better upfront then didier. quick reminder, didier is the best center forward out there who can play with his back to goal. and that allows the likes of frank Lampard others to join the attack, Anelka can do that. the media needs to get off didier’s case for christ sake.
