For Henry, Read Drogba

Prior to his European excursion, Drogba had only found the net once in his first 5 games for the club. But now that he has shown what he can do, Lamps reckons he will go on to do the business!

Lampard said "Didier's got pace, power and great finishing ability and can get us 20 or 30 goals this season, like Thierry Henry does for Arsenal.

"He's a different player to Thierry but can be that sort of figure. We've been lacking a player with real pace and power and now Didier's doing it. He's our big frontman and it's important for him to be scoring.

"He's very strong, has good feet and is very willing to run for the team. He's been very impressive since he came to the club and it was only going to be a matter of time before he started scoring more goals.

"It's nice to have a big figure up front that you can pick out straight away. If he can score the number of goals that Thierry did last season we won't be far away from the title. We defend very well and if we can continue to score goals we'll do very well."
