Giving my opinion on SWP and KALOU! really i'm disappointed with their games especially SWP.In the area where i live people call him beautiful nonsense, cos he makes good balls from the back and getting to the front he messes it up.Also for kalou he's a player i woouldn't bet on cos what compounded to the departure of jose was wehn we had 20shots on goal and couldn't take 1 in, and it was Sheva and Kalou there then against Roosenbourg.
The only thing i would suggest is if we bring in better strikers, i mean finisher then we can let him go on loan, NOT TO SALE HIM, cos he's a future player and looks like he would be better than didi cos he takes on defenders and he has paces and great dribbling skill but he lacks finish.He's someonewe would still need later on, he would be useful when he's matured in the game.Pizzaro needs more playing time as i see he's sharp and needs to work on his shooting,maybe he should ask lampard how it's done.SWP and KALOU can go on loan and we bring in 2 complete players also, and i mean average age players and a winger.This season would be very tight and close, so nonsense at the front. The March against Gunners woould be tough but for now it remains OPEN and the team that would take their chances would definately win.No favourite for now, cos u could say chelsea are favourite cos of the run we had and for gunners you could they are favourite cos they are league leaders put the injured players aside, there is no favourite. This is where Strikers and wingers have roles to play, football is all about taking chances.So Grant has to bring in 3 forwards, winger inclusives for the next round of the league, cos it's a tight race.

Grant has steadied the ship well but why give him a new deal it's not like he's going to go anywhere if you don't

It is still very much Jose's team though and all the noises about attacking football are just that. Bar that whalloping of Man City it's been business as usual.

SWP looked very bright against Valencia on Tuesday.

==============================================

SWP was terrible on Tuesday. The amount of time he bluffed his cross from a great position was a joke. He simply isn't good enough.

Chelseas style of play has not changed under Grant.
Jose Mourinho played the same way,there was nothing wrong with Joses style of play,people were finding fault where there wasnt any,they had nothing else to have a go at chelsea about,so they chose in imaginery defensive style of play.
The proof will be on Sunday,Jose never lsot to a Wengert team,lets see what powers of commitment Grant has over his players,Jose wpould have won with ten juniors.

I read something once that Jose's sucessor at Porto was on a hiding to nothing not only because he followed a European cup winning coach, but also because he was a plain man following a handsome coach and apparently this was important in Portugal. Now, did you see the footage of him walking back and forth in front of Roy Keane at the weekend? Hllarious. Basically the man IS Uncle Fester. I don't know wether that's true about Portugese football, but it seems it's not about English. Perhaps Chelsea fans are just happy to have a manager who whines less than the average Daily Mail reader. I know I am.

Supported!!!!! you are spot on.Well i want to say something abut the slight change,mostly now we play a little more credit and ball on the ground.Though it hasn't given Lampard so much room to shoot though as it's all about goal scoring and not how fine you play.Indeed on sunday is a big test cause the other top teams couldn't beat Arsenal and we should do it and go back on top of the table hopefully united would lose cos Ant field is a tough place also with Torres on fire.We just have to win arsenal cos we never ever lost to them under jose so i think that's something Grant would build on and that would be good for the fans to expect a good result cos grant met the unbeaten at the bridge and he knows he has to mantain it and he's really challenged for that at every home game.So not losing to gonners is another thing for him to maintain.Actually i wished a very clean and convincing win and i know with our style we can achieve that ONLY if we take our chances up front and be at out toes at the back cos they are fast on the counter.

all this means is Grant gurantees himself a bigger pay off when he leaves the club. he hasn't proven himself against a decent side yet (apart from beating Valencia away), until he has done that a couple of times we won't know how good he is. if Steve Clarke had been in charge all this time he would've beaten the teams we've played, i'm not convinced by him until he beats some of the top Premier League talent and strong European competition.

interested to see what his transfer savy is up to as well. we're still relying on a lot of the squad that Ranieri bought, there's only two or three players that Mourinho bought that are genuine class.

The Chelski setup from Chairman through to manager fits better without Mourinho. The team is the same... the tactics are basically the same... it's just more harmonious now which is better for the future.

Jose is still a legend though!!!

Grant could be the one that will take us to the next level i can not say for now, but problem with chelsea now is striker i think we needs a good one now by january latest so as to make the team move forward as it was expected.
