Past and future Chelsea legends combine as Spurs go home empty-handed once again

We've written and talked quite a bit about Drogba since Wednesday's win, so I'm not sure how much more I can add.  Basically, everything's awesome and even the 36-year-old living legend is doing things hardly anybody expected.  While I was mad at some of his touches early on in the game, and several times I got a bit sad when he tried to chase after a ball, Didier remains just fantastic at times and if we ever need to troll any opposition from North London, he's our man.

This is Drogba's second man of the match award in just five starts.  He's got 12 additional appearances from the bench, meaning that he's only failed to feature in four of our matches so far.  The numbers may look a bit different had Rémy been here since Day 1 of the season and had he not gotten injured against Maribor, but as of right now, Drogba seems to have the edge for second-choice behind Diego Costa.

After the blip against Sunderland, this game saw normal service resumed, with Hazard & Oscar leading the way, alongside our forwards (both of them in this case), midfielders, non-categorizable hybrids (i.e. Willian), Courtois, and Terry.

Given Matić's yellow card and upcoming suspension, Hazard looks set to become the only player in the squad to feature in all games when he takes to the pitch up in Newcastle on Saturday.  We haven't talked much, especially in negative connotations, about Mourinho's "untouchables" lately but Hazard clearly is one.  He's the main man, he's José's main man, and he, above all else, will lead us to glory.  (Failure's not an option.)

Barely edging out Oscar and Thibaut Courtois, it's Rémy who rounds out your top three.  It's the striker's first appearance on the player ratings podium in his short Chelsea career; hopefully the first of many over the next few years as he seems a perfect backup.  After all these years of it being a weakness, it's wonderful to have strength (and not just depth) at the center forward position.

Speaking of Rémy's goal, how about that Lampard-esque first-time ball over the top from Azpilicueta, eh?
