Utd get a penalty every game and when they miss, it’s retaken
You know full well you couldn’t win the league with James Beattie though. Drogba was a top, top quality player. Chelsea’s trophy haul with him there reflected that. He had a major part in that through his play, just because his name wasn’t always on the scoresheet doesn’t mean he didn’t have any less contribution.This is a misnomer.
If you ask would I rather have Henry and the team would finish 6th or would I rather have James Beattie up front and win the league. That's a no brainer proposition.
A world class player can't lift a poor team to title challengers, as we know very well. A good-great player won't sink a world class team to a level below winning the league.
Drogba didn't drag Chelsea to those trophies or uplift that team to new heights. He was a great player for them but that's about it.
Talk about systems, but managers and clubs adapt to new players. If Ronaldo decided to swap Red for Blue in those days then Chelsea's set up would have changed to accommodate him. If they got a better striker than Drogba then they'd have adapted.
Singlehandedly is also a bit of a stretch. In some of those games, we were outclassed from the first minute to the last all over the pitch. It was like watching Tyson vs an amateur boxer at times. Drogba just delivered the knock out blow.

Also disagree with your statement on a World class player transforming a poor team to title winners/challengers
