AVRAM GRANT IS CULTIVATING WHAT JOSE MOURINO HAS PLANTED.HE HAS NO TECHNICAL EYE TO SEE WHEN HIS MIDFIELD IS WEAK.THE PLAYERS ARE NOW PLAYING THEIR INDIVIDUAL SKILLS BECAUSE THEY ARE MATURE.I WILL BE HAPPY TO SEE GRANT AWAY FROM CHELSEA NEXT SEASON.AG GAME PLAN IS ONLY ON THE FIRST HALF. LONG LIVE CHELSEA,CHELSEA THE BLUES.

I concur with your statement that Grant doesn´t command the skill necessary to coach such a big team. The man simply doesn´t have a plan. He is not man enough to plant Drogba where he belongs:
The bench. Drogba´s displays lately have been a smack in the face. We need a playing striker like Anelka who thanks to Grant has lost his rhythm. We need much more movement and quick passing up front.
Grant is a clueless tactician. Amassing players in midfield is not a masterpiece. Despite the fact that we sometimes field 3 defensive midfielders an awful lot gets through. We defend worse than under JM and we attack even worse than under JM.
JM surely didn´t do anything another TM could not have done with that deep squad of superbly talented players. What we are looking at is a spell of 2 yrs of clueless football and a waste of talent and lifetime of some of the best players the game has to offer.

If I had the choice between grinding out a 1-0 or 2-0 and playing like spurs and getting beaten 4-3 every week, i'd take the win. However i don't want Avram as manager, in fact i'd have anyone else in the premier league... even paul jewell

Yet another example of the media agenda against Chelsea.

Why do the BBC keep choosing negative articles about Chelsea as their main Chelsea article?

Why not pick something positive to say about Chelsea like how despite losing our manager at the beginning of the season we're now only 3 points behind a rampant Man Utd?

Why not talk about how Chelsea have made the semi-final of the Champions League for the third time in four years?

The BBC are simply showing their unproffesionalism.

I agree with Mag. Zola, criticism of Chelsea is rife in England and all negatives duly highlighted. This is because the cosy elite of English football over the past 40 years couldn't bear to share the spoils and it really bothered some of the English establishment that a former cold war enemy now have influence in our game at the highest level. AT least Abramovich genuinely cares about the game and how Chelsea are perceived unlike The Glaziers and the Liverpool debacle is reidiculous. Chelsea have had to fight dirty and tough to maintain their consistency due to upheavels in management, injuries and absentees, but we are beginning to emerge as a quality top level European outfit which will develop in style and confidence, perhaps Grant is a little Naive or perhaps not! we may appoint another Manager, but it is important we use what we have at a crucial time and Kenyon should be aware of this and stop rocking the boat in pulic, I often wonder has he Chelseas best interests at heart or is he just an enterprising lickarse who knows how to make a quick dollar. Grant has my support although he is new to this level, ther is no point criticizing him at this late stage...Long live Chelsea

Avram Grant is not the one to blame for chelsea's unnatractive style, it is Steve Clarke and Ten Cate. Grant just simply does'nt get involved enough to effect the team's style of play.
Get rid of Grant, get rid of the boring style enforced by Ten Cate, and introduce a big name manager who will win over the chelsea lads'

why is kenyon commenting on football matters - it annoys me the amount of lipservice that idiot has - Chelsea may not be having a brilliant season but they have had a lot of upheaval - losing their most charismatic manager in living memory who led them to back to back league titles and they've fought their way back into contention in the premier league and they are in the semis of the champions league - they got to the final of the carling cup too - sure you'd prefer Mourinho back but get a grip Grant ain't that bad

Chelsea are still the same side Mourinho created at the begining of the season, which was naturally defensive and based on solid professionals who don't need to change there game.Grant is just doing the best he can with the players he has.He bought Anelka during the one month he had to buy players so we can assume he is trying to be more attacking, however until he begins next season with his team, not Jose's, can we judge if he actually any good.
