Chelsea 4-0 Portsmouth (Joe Cole,Anelka,Lampard [penalty] and Deco)

the players are responding to him.
this is good for the Blues.
that was a good performance against Portsmouth,who is known for their tightness during away games with Harry in-charge.

when Drogba and Essien return,they will be even stronger.

Deco and Chelsea discover that this is no country for old men
Luiz Felipe Scolari's men are showing a lack of dynamism as the speed of the Premier League highlights ageing limbs


The Premier League is an endurance test for the contenders and the patience of supporters is being sorely tried as well. Chelsea's goalless draw at Goodison was creditable considering that their captain John Terry had been sent off with nearly an hour remaining, but six points from the last five games is not evocative of a side driving towards the title. Comfort lies in the knowledge that others are looking heavy-legged as well. Liverpool have not won a league fixture at home since 8 November and Arsenal's results have hauled them down to fifth place in the table.


Manchester United seem formidable, but that may mostly be because they have not been in action domestically. The longer they stayed in Yokohama for the Club World Cup the more intensely their presence registered here. Now it is almost as if United's two games in hand are actually wins that have not yet been counted because of a clerical error. It took Sir Alex Ferguson to remind us that eight goals away from home in the Premier League so far has been "nowhere near good enough".


The contest for the title will be all the more interesting if fallibility continues to seep into the rivalry. No manager can be fully at peace. Luiz Felipe Scolari must have regretted the necessity of authorising a statement last week that denied claims of a squad rebellion over his tactics and methods. It can be agreed that there was no shortage of application at Goodison.


There was, indeed, a flashback to the confrontational petulance seen against Tottenham at White Hart Lane in March. The side did not turn into a mob, but Phil Dowd still felt moved to show three yellow cards, all of them for dissent. Chelsea, under Jose Mourinho, employed paranoia as a bonding mechanism. It does not seem in Scolari's nature to instil a persecution complex, so perhaps he really was incredulous that the official had dismissed Terry for a shin-high lunge at Leon Osman. Given modern practices, the punishment should have been no real shock.


Scolari must be feeling the pressure. As it happens he is currently a point better off after 18 matches than his predecessor was and Avram Grant took the struggle for the title to the last day. It may be an under_lying trend that is against Scolari. Chelsea no longer spend as they did. The only players to have been bought by him in Monday's line-up were Jose Bosingwa and Deco. Both are very well-known to Scolari from his time as Portugal manager. Bosingwa, too, brings drive on the right that is now crucial to Chelsea. Deco, despite his obvious accomplishment, has begun to look as fatigued as might have been feared in a midfielder entering the frenetic Premier League for the first time at the age of 31.


Beside him at Goodison were Michael Ballack and Frank Lampard, who have also left their 20s behind them. None of these players are superannuated but, jointly, they did not look dynamic.


Lampard had opened this campaign with a range and adventurousness that spoke of regeneration under Scolari. The impact has declined subsequently and a player with 20 goals to his name for Chelsea last season has eight at the moment. This is more than a personal issue when reliable scorers are difficulty to identify.


Nicolas Anelka has been outstanding, but the dependence on him is dangerous. Didier Drogba should be a marvellous alternative to the Frenchman, if not a striking partner for him, but when he was brought on at Everton he did not display much inclination to use his power and ability to engage with the defence and so relieve the strain on his undermanned team.


There was, at least, a stubborness to Chelsea. They can be glad, too, that Alex will be available while Terry serves a three-game ban. Dowd, after reviewing video evidence, decided against punishing the Brazilian retrospectively for a second-half incident in which the defender's studs came down on the thigh of Tim Cahill. On a night when their perfect away record in the league ended, though, it still looked as if Chelsea will lack the means to regain the title.

Scolari is finding out the hard way that it is totally different managing a top EPL club compared to a world class international team.

Also there appears to be internal rifts showing up like Drogba 'pouting' and other players unhappy with Scolari's apparent favouritism towards Deco who appears to have been underperforming of late.

Blues drop the axe on Scolari

CHELSEA have sensationally sacked Luiz Felipe Scolari.

The Blues slipped to fourth in the Premier League on Saturday after a goalless home draw with Hull.

And the club have moved swiftly to stop the rot by axing the Brazilian and placing Ray Wilkins in temporary charge.

Scolari's highs and lows as Chelsea boss

A statement on Chelsea's official website said: "Luiz Felipe Scolari has been dismissed as manager of Chelsea with immediate effect.

"The Chelsea board would like to place on record our gratitude for his time as manager.

"Felipe has brought many positives to the club since he joined and we all feel a sense of sadness that our relationship has ended so soon.

"Unfortunately the results and performances of the team appeared to be deteriorating at a key time in the season.

"In order to maintain a challenge for the trophies we are still competing for we felt the only option was to make the change now.

"The search for a new manager has already started and we hope to have someone in place as soon as possible.

"While that continues assistant coach Ray Wilkins will take charge of the team on a temporary basis."

The timing of Scolari's dismissal is likely to stun most Chelsea fans.

A minority had run out of patience with the World Cup-winning coach but a new manager will be unable to add to the current squad until the transfer window reopens in the summer.

His departure could also leave question marks over the future of midfielder Deco.

Chelsea signed the playmaker from Barcelona for £8million last June.

He was Scolari's only major summer signing but has struggled to make any impact at Stamford Bridge.

Re: what ....who can replace him?

Scolari has been a big disappointment

The club has good players but he just can't fire up the team like Jose

Who's next in line for the hot seat? Hiddink?

Player power and dressing room politics exist in every club

Part and parcel of every manager's job to manage his players

It is hard to manage a team where players question your judgment on fitness training, team selection and strategy. I dun see gross insubordination in other football clubs like the one we are witnessing at SB.

I would put it down to the fault of Abramovich himself who made all of this possible with his russian rouble-overpaying players who are only too keen to push the blame on the manager for the club's poor results.:smile:

I would not rule this out...possibility if Chelsea maintain the same level of form as they did last night and Gooners continue with their latest rich vein of form.
