Scolari blames Grant For Malouda's Failure

Big Phil has notoriously raised a finger at his predecessor for the first time by claiming that the Israeli wasted Malouda during last season by not playing him at his preferred position..

The Ex-Lyon superstar has failed to replicate his Lyon form and had a fairly below par first season at Stamford Bridge.. Mourinho signed the French International for 20 million euros but after the Special One's departure from the English game, Malouda had barely been given enough time on the pitch to prove his worth much to the fury of Scolari..



"I want to know if he stays with us, what is his best position," said Scolari

"Last season he played in a different position than he did at Lyon. I want him to play on the wing like he did in Lyon. He was wasted last season."

"I have the players for exciting football and I have the players for us to be champions,""Deco has his style and that style improves other players, so he can make everyone better, but there were chances for [Andriy] Shevchenko and Malouda tonight.

"Now it's a time for me to test the players. I'm seeing if we should play 4-4-2 or 4-3-3, or which position is best for each player, or whether some players would do better in some games or others," he added.

"These are practice games but the players are trying their best for Chelsea and also for themselves. After that I'll decide."
