Arsenal have impressed in certain games this season but struggled since losing Robin van Persie and find themselves eight points behind Carlo Ancelotti's table toppers.[LNB]Fabregas rates Chelsea as no more than a "normal" team but admits Arsenal lack a player like Drogba and has pointed to the 3-0 Carling Cup defeat to Manchester City as more evidence of the need to increase their attacking options.[LNB]He told The Guardian: "Throughout the game (against City) we had a lot of possession but didn't really have anyone to go in behind the defenders, apart from Carlos Vela.[LNB]"We had a lot of similar players who like the ball into their feet. Sometimes it's true that you need a different kind of option."[LNB]Fabregas argued that a striker with the power and pace of Drogba could lift a team out of the ordinary.[LNB]Recalling his side's 3-0 defeat to Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on November 29, he said: "Overall, I saw a Chelsea team that was normal but a team that has probably the best striker in the world.[LNB]"An average team that has the best striker in the world can always do something and Didier Drogba makes all the difference."[LNB][LNB] Arsenal Stage of Elimination.
