What's going on with Drogba ?
I'm surprised you say that. I find them a bit Germanic - strong, powerful, fit. A team full of hard workers that rely on Silva for any glimpses of flare. I think that's why they come a cropper in Europe as they just don't have the guile to open up the defences consistantly at that level.
In fact a bit like Chelsea under Mourinho - very efficient.

When you watch that first Swansea - Liverpool match though you see the other side, possession tippy-tappy without a purpose.

It looks like Utd to me. They always have a dodgy one here and there like Norwich last week. But they have hardly had a back four all season and still sit at the top.
Utd have the right balance for me. Ferguson has shown he knows how to put a team together and whilst I think Scholes is struggling a little, Anderson looks like he's starting to fulfill the potential - finally.
Their style of football is why I have been an admirer over recent years.
