Chelsea boss Grant fed-up with style debate

Chelsea boss Avram Grant is unhappy how his team's style of play is under the microscope.

"I don't like that, after every game, I have to be the judge of my style of football. I need time," he said. "What's important is how you play, how you attack, how many players you use to attack.

"We don't play long ball, we try to play from the back and all the midfield.

"We did it in three months and I'm very happy. This style will help us to win games. The best defence is when you attack and when you hold the ball.

"Of course you need to know how to defend but, if you go one up, the best way to defend is to continue attacking and push the other team back.

"We want to follow the basic things that have built our style in the last few months but of course tactics are important in a game like this as well."
