AVB: QPR winger SWP was Chelsea success

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas says they must keep a tight rein on Shaun Wright-Phillips when they face QPR.

Villas-Boas believes the right-winger will be a major threat, and remembers him well from his Chelsea days.

"I would say he was successful in his period here," the manager told chelseafc.com.

"He won a Premiership title, so I would say it was a successful period. By that time Shaun was an extremely expensive transfer fee but he made quite an impact in his second year - a European semi final, he won the FA Cup, he won the Carling Cup, so I would say his period here was a successful period. Not for the extent Shaun was expecting, but I can recall an extremely good player."
