In the last 10 years we haven't played the best football but we had players that knew how to get a gritty, scrappy 1-0 win.
We had players like Cech, Terry, Carvalho, Ashley, Makelele, Essien, Lampard, Ballack and Drogba. I look at this team and wonder do we have more than one (JT)?
You could argue Ivanovic and Diego are leaders but both can be more of a liability than an example to the rest.
IMO letting go of both Cech and Drogba was too much, Yes we let go of Ashley and Frank in the same window but we brought back Drogba.
In January if we were to make a couple of signings I think we need cool and experienced heads, Even if just on a 2 year deal, Thiago Motta or someone of that ilk would be perfect.

Courtois is one. Seems like the future captain to me.

OP
I was a critic of Drogba last term, & was not of the opinion that he merited a shirt...and for the most part for good reason...
however, it would seem that we have sorely lost his prescence in the team/changing room as goes leaders
JT was out of the side for ages & it showed, but despite his lack of pace this term, we are still better with him playing...for the same reason

that really wouldnt suprise me, to win a trophy you need to usually win about 5 on the bounce, we can't do that

what is all this talk about presence etc, how much do we actually think drogba made a difference. we're rubbish on the pitch first and foremost. Drogba wouldnt had made a difference this season to those performances.
