From my memory Drogba's form was shit early in that season, and he was out a lot with injuries and then for the African cup, but whenever he was available he got picked ahead of Torres. It was only in those few big cup games at the end of the season when he showed up.
TBH same with Lampard and Cole, they got picked almost everytime. AVB only benched them for that one infamous CL game, and so this narrative was born about how he was trying to get rid of all the veterans and changing too much too quickly; even though in reality he stuck with most of them in most matches.
