Avram Grant believes Chelsea has to start playing in the now rather than thinking about last season's achievements.

The Blues won the Premier League title and Capital One Cup in a brilliant campaign under Jose Mourinho but 2015/16 is a different proposition altogether.

The West London club are languishing in 14th place on the league table having won just four times in 14 outings and former Blues boss Grant says it is time to stop thinking about former glories in order to resurrect their flailing campaign.

"They need to stop living in the past and saying last season was like this and this," Grant told Sky Sports News HQ. "Because then you could also say that two seasons ago was not so great.

"Last season was great for Chelsea, winning the League title, but now they need to see what is the problem, why are top players not performing like they need to play, why the team is not performing like they need to, and find a solution.

"The quality is there, the talent is there. There is no doubt about this."
