Maceo anyone can win finals but drogba was indeed clutch. Infact, he is probably top 5 Greatest big game player of all time. 11 finals 10 goals e no easy. Drogba should be 1 but he was a late bloomer

Re: Bocande, Drogba, Eto'o and Yekini
How can he be Mr. Clutch, if his chance to finally win an African championship he bottles it? Nobody is saying Drogba is not great, but Eto'o's numbers are better, he's achieved more at both club level and international level. We act as if Drogba didn't have that first season at Chelsea, where everybody was making fun of him calling him clumsy etc. Eto'o was more consistent in his prime, from Mallorca, to Barca, to Inter to nations cups to confederations Cup etcjohn12 wrote:Maceo anyone can win finals but drogba was indeed clutch.

honestly, I am not sure why people are rating Eto so highly. I watched him play through out his career or most of it, he was nothing exceptional. He was fortunate to have had opportunities most african players did not have. I rate Roger Miller higher than Eto. Eto scored more goals, but he was no better than Kanu, if Kanu had not had heart issues, Eto would be carrying his bags.
Drogba all day, every day; the one man wrecking crew.
In short the thread is an insult to Weah, Roger Miller, Drogba. Yekini (RIP), who?

Re: Bocande, Drogba, Eto'o and Yekini
I picked Weah. I'd go Drogba second, despite the missed PK against Zambia. All the greats have missed pks. For Chelsea, whenever we reached the semis and finals the man invariably scored. He was a monster. BTW, if Weah or Droggba had played with Messi, Xavi, Iniesta et all they would have had some great numbers too.maceo4 wrote:Mr. Clutch in the flesh, did this in an ANC final...failing his whole country...airwolex wrote:Drogba was clutch though.

I just wanted you to know that we know that you have no clue what you are talking about, in regards to the highlighted portion of your comment. You can pick Pius Ikedia, thats your prerogative, and nothing wrong with that, but dont come here and skew the facts of who Weah and Drogba played with. Many of us have watched football for decades and we KNOW.

Re: Bocande, Drogba, Eto'o and Yekini
You are probably right, you know more soccer than me, but still, Weah and Drogba.
George Weah was like a black Ronaldo, skillful and monstrously athletic. Drogba was clutch as hell, 9 finals 9 goals and I'm a Chelsea fan. Those are still my picks. Etoo was a baller, but there's a lot of right place right time about his Barca and Cameroon career.

Well, in that same year he made up for it by scoring the winning penalty vs Munich.

Re: Bocande, Drogba, Eto'o and Yekini
Haven't complied the stats but I can count at least eight finals goals for Eto'o. You can't act like Drogba wasn't blessed with being in the right place at the right time, not when he often had Frank Lampard shouldering the most of the scoring opportunity and outscoring him most seasons, or when he had the fortune of playing with the most talented Ivory Coast team ever and ended his international career with nothing to show for it.airwolex wrote:You are probably right, you know more soccer than me, but still, Weah and Drogba.

Re: Bocande, Drogba, Eto'o and Yekini
Honestly, this shouldn’t even be a debate it’s obviously etoo. The guy performed for Cameroun, (highest all time scorer) Mallorca (highest all time scorer) Barcelona multiple La Liga, pichichi, champions league went to inter and scores 50 goals in 2 season and win another Champions league. Abegii it’s not even a debate the only thing people keep mentioning wear is winning 1995 WPOY even though he didn’t score up to 20 goals that season. The likes of maldini never won WPOY or even World Cup but history will remember him as a better defender than materrazzi and cannavaro

Re: Bocande, Drogba, Eto'o and Yekini
The reason he was fortunate to play at the highest level than the others as you mentioned, is because he was better than the others. If the others were that better than him, they too will have played and performed well as Eto'o at the highest level. Eto'o did not just get to where he was without putting in the work. He was the best and that is why he is better than the rest.ANC wrote:Robotnik wrote:Drogba. End of story!

Re: Bocande, Drogba, Eto'o and Yekini
Well Drogba was part of the Ivorian golden generation wasn't he? What did he win with them? Eto'o took his chances when we had our golden generation from 99 to 2002 and Cameroon won the Olympics, back to back ANC, went to the confederations cup finals with great contributions along the way. So spare me the right place at the right time bullcrap. Eto'o carried Mallorcca all the way to win the Spanish cup, with Eto'o scorig 2 goals in the finals to beat Real Madrid. As a Real Madrid fan, my worst moments were when we had to face Barca or Mallorcca with Eto'o playing, cause you already know what he will do.airwolex wrote:You are probably right, you know more soccer than me, but still, Weah and Drogba.
