| To take out Drogba?
Conversations between Chelsea fans, when not speaking of how badly we have started the season, have brought up did the Norwich Goalkeeper make no effort to win the ball and instead made sure both fists contacted with Drogba's head?
I have watched this a few times now and there is no doubt he seems to jump at Drogba rather than attack the ball. The commentator speaks of it being a foul and penalty if Drogba hadnt been offside, yet nothing is being said about Ruddy's actions.
Been trying to look in his career history to see if he has any form for this kind of thing and there is normally a trend.
Look forward to him being on the receiving end sometime! |

I don't think he meant to hurt Drogba, No doubt make contact with him, as all keeper's do. Could be wrong but he looked genuinely distressed by the result. |

| Hard to tell for sure, but he was holding his arms fairly level and not very high. You would think if he was trying to punch the ball from a cross his arms would have been straight up and held higher. _________________  |
