This is my one major criticism of Grant, he's been so cautious after the one bad experience of Anelka and Drogba in the Carling Cup Final. He may not work back to defend, but Essien in the side covers so much ground, indefatigably, that it doesn't matter. The attacking benefits far outweigh the defensive drawbacks.
Anelka is infinitely superior to Kalou and Malouda, his touch is imperious, he's a big guy with a big frame that's so hard to get the ball off. He's a very good passer of the ball with superb vision. Drogba wants to play with him - they have an understanding. PLAY HIM!

I would love to see the top formation, still not so sure tho about putting Anelka on the wing. essien would pretty much be able to cover the whole right wing and Lampard and A.Cole have a gd understanding so that would be the width on the left wing.
Apparently Anelka was brought in for next season, tho I disagre with this, if he was why not buy him at the end of the season why in the jan transfer window? I feel that Grant wants to stick the formation that he knows chelsea can win with so he would rather put 2 wingers on the wing than Anelka.
The thing is if we play both Anelka and Drogba which attacking option can come on and actually do some damage to the oposition. I mean yeah j.cole and kalou can but they wouldn't have the same affect that Anelka does...tho tbh that isn't a really gd reason...
it is true that with Anelka and Drogba on the pitch we look a lot more deadly. Lets hope that next season Drogba is still here and we will have more chances to play them together.
