Who is the better soccer player, Michael Essien or Didier Drogba?

Question

I think Essien is the more complete player since he can play pretty much any defensive or midfield position on the field. Great tactical skill and field awareness. Drogba is a GREAT player as a striker, but he is a one position player. Just my opinion though. What do you guys think?

Answer 1

Good question.  Both are solid footballers.  I'd say Essien

Answer 2

Yes, I agree with you. Essien is a key role for a team to win a game since he can play as defender or even second striker while Drogba is pure striker and plays as forward only.

Answer 3

Drogba because he is a natural sttriker altouhg essien is good too

Answer 4

id say drogba personally, a team will not be able to pull the trigger and score goals without alot of talent in the striking department but then if you think about it, without talent everywhere, a team wont win either.

Answer 5

well both are GREAT PLAYERS but i think drogba is a little better bt then again it is like u said essien can play in more than 1 position

                             after all both play in chelsea how can i ask 4 more

Answer 6

better player all around essien, drogba is a gud player  but i dont like him 1 bit

Answer 7

you can't compare two players that play on different position, you could compare essien to lampard or drogba to anelka.  You cna't compare them also because they have different tasks for the match like drogba score a goal and essien keep an eye on adebayor.  I hope this answered your question.
