Man, we're so quick to write anyone off based on a tiny sample size. The guy hasn't had a chance to adapt to the speed and physicality of the English game, gets thrown into a derby and asked to replicate what seemingly only our or best player is capable of, and do all this for a team that is woefully out of form. Yet here we are, not good enough already. The bloke hasn't even had a chance.
Drogba in his first season, with a much better team than we have now, looked rubbish. Couldn't trap a bag of cement, couldn't win a ball in the air, couldn't finish with any accuracy, couldn't hold up play, looked clumsy and awkward and slow to react. A year later he was dominating centre half pairings by himself. I'm not saying CV will reach that level, but christ give the bloke a chance.
