Scolari To Grant: You Wasted Malouda

The ex Lyon standout failed to come anywhere close to justifying the €20m Chelsea paid to bring him to Stamford Bridge last summer, but Scolari his suggested that his predecessor Avram Grant has to accept at least some responsibility for that.

"I want to know if he stays with us, what is his best position," said Scolari over the player that Roma have proven so keen to attract.

"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," Big Phil added after the 2-0 win against a Malaysian Select XI last night

"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."
