Di Matteo: Chelsea best attack in Europe? I'll leave that to you ...

Chelsea boss Roberto di Matteo admits he's happy with the attacking options at his disposal. At £130million, Fernando Torres, Juan Mata, Eden Hazard and Oscar are one of the most expensive attacking quartets ever assembled.

Asked if there was a more exciting front four around, Di Matteo said: "That's for you to judge. I'm happy with my squad. I said that since before the league started.

"I'm happy they are with us, very happy.

"First of all, they are good players. Secondly, they are intelligent as well. And, thirdly, we are trying to integrate them into our system and they have to realise they have all responsibilities in the position they play - with some freedom as well but still they have to keep some kind of discipline when we do not have possession.

"I think we need to improve a lot on that side.

"As exciting as it is to have them all on the pitch, when we lose the ball, we need to defend as well."
