rolo_88 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 NICOLAS ANELKA claims Chelsea have become clueless under boss Phil Scolari. The hitman, the Premier League’s top scorer with 14 goals, believes the Blues no longer have the ability to win big matches. They lost 2-0 at Liverpool last Sunday. And Anelka said: “We just didn’t know how to play against Liverpool. “From the start of the season we’ve lost our tests against the biggest teams. Every time it seems our opponents are at least as strong if not stronger than us. “Whenever the biggest matches in the Premier League come along we have just not shown we know how to perform at the ‘real’ Chelsea level. “Liverpool were superior. They laid on a really good performance and pressed us out of the game. “If Frank Lampard hadn’t been sent off we might have managed a draw but the fact is we weren’t in shape to do better than that. We couldn’t have won. That’s a very hard thing to have to admit.†Scolari’s stuttering Blues are now five points behind leaders Manchester United and three adrift of Liverpool. Anelka added: “Although I don’t believe we are dead in the water for the title race it’s going to be really, really hard to win. “We need to raise our standard of play, step up a gear, get stuck in more in the big matches and we need to improve our technical displays.†APART FROM THE SUN'S USUAL BULLSH*T SPIN ON WHAT A PLAYER SAYS, I THINK ANELKA GOT A POINT IN WHAT HE'S SAYING, WE HAVE BEEN PONY AGAINST THE OTHER TOP 4 CLUBS AND ITS GOOD TO SEE PLAYERS GIVIN A SH*T TBH.

Lofty Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Sounds like a diplomatically expressed, thinly veiled "f**k off Scolari, you don't know what you're doing". And it's difficult to argue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I do think it a bit rich coming from Anelka as his own personal performances have been really sh*te when it comes to playing top class opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evissy Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 It was time someone opened their mouth. I have to respect Anelka not repeating Wilkins' over optimistic words. God I hate to see his interviews. Talking like a junior team coach with no ambition. I wish we'd here some truths from other players as well. We wont hear it from JT as he think it is unprofessional but someone else, not Drogba though. Alex is a player I expect opening his mouth. He always has that 'what the f*ck are we doing' expression on his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
