Chelsea boss AVB: This squad has it in them to win trophies again

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas insists they're capable of winning titles with the current team.

Villas-Boas dismissed claims of age being a factor as they struggled to defeat West Bromwich Albion.

Insisting it was nothing to do with the age of Chelsea's squad, he said: "I think you have an extremely good example of maybe a dead team that were European champions in Inter Milan.

"They were the same team that won three championships in a row with Mancini.

"When everyone thought they were dead, they won the Champions League. It's nothing to do with age. It's something to do with quality and competence - and we have it."
