Scolari: I'll quit if Chelsea eliminated from Champions League
Luiz Felipe Scolari is ready to QUIT if he fails to lead Chelsea into the next round of the Champions League.
After their disappointing draw at Bordeaux, the Blues’ boss insisted: “If we don’t qualify it would be better for me to go back to Brazil.”
Scolari knows his side must now beat CFR Cluj at Stamford Bridge on December 9 to ensure no jitters about their progress from Group A.
He added: “We need to win against Cluj. If I think my team didn’t have the quality to beat them at home, it would be better for me to go home to Brazil and stay.
“We’ve lost qualification two times now. We need to think about this.
“Qualification is in our hands and we need to win the next game.
“But Chelsea with these players have a 75 per cent chance of beating Cluj. In my view we are not first in the group.”

I totally support others on the idea of get a winger that is fast and pacey like bosingwa... We need to break through defences, if we are to score goals. Neither anelka nor drogba is a magician. They cant do it on their own. We need to make things hapen.
The reason for chelsea's lack of breaking other teams are the lack of essien and the lack of players with pace..... when chelsea had Duff and Robben on the flanks, the easily broke other teams defences. Malouda has not got that edge. Anelka has proven to be good, but he is not fit for as a lone striker, yesterdays match proved that. he scored a goal, but the contrubution during the match was not much to talk about. Chelsea should try to play with two holding midfielders, to keep up the pressure.
Anelka Drogba
Lampard Deco
Mikel Mineiro
Cole Terry Ivanovic/Car./alex Bosingwa
Cech
This formation would provide us to keep up the pressure. When the ball is crossed, it often end up on the 16m line, where we do not have players for long range efforts. with this formation perhaps we would. I think Chelsea do not need a striker, but 1-2 quality wingers who can break defences. The way we play now do work against small teams, but not against bigger teams.....
