HATCHET MAN: Drogba is daft to big up the likes of Malouda, Ballack and Essien - Barcelona have noth

Didier Drogba is kidding himself if he thinks Chelsea have got more matchwinners than Barcelona.[LNB]The striker tried to argue that having Thierry Henry, Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi was nothing compared to the goalscorers that Chelsea have all over the pitch.[LNB]What he didn't mention was that most of his team-mates were 'part-time' matchwinners.[LNB] [LNB]Rare event: Chelsea's Florent Malouda celebrates one of his four League goals this season[LNB]Apart from their forwards (who have not been anywhere near as prolific this season as their Barcelona counterparts), few other players score regularly. [LNB]Frank Lampard is the obvious exception but Florent Malouda - who is sometimes counted as part of the front three - is one of their highest scorers with four goals in the Premier League.[LNB]Michael Ballack and Michael Essien have scored just one League goal each this term. That will fill opponents with fear, won't it Didier?[LNB]   More from Hatchet Man... HATCHET MAN: Barca coach insists he'll give a Pep talk and not moan if Chelsea beat them - yeah, right...06/05/09 HATCHET MAN: So Moyes thinks Baines is better than Cole and Bridge...What at?
