Used to dislike Anelka when he was at Liverpool or Man City....but now must learn to like him
My observation.
1. He does not lose the ball easily. Can hold on to the ball.
2. When he came on, he was already in the midst of action despite not having a training session with the squad.
3. Like others before me....glad he did not score...
4. Base on his style of playing, he CANNOT replace Drogba. Drogba is strength and power. Anelka is more deft and sublime, more like Kalou.
5. I think he is better as an attacking midfielder.
I hope this is the start of another Chelsea push for the CL.
