Is Big Phil Scolari facing a dressing room revolt?

Chelsea gaffer reportedly facing pressure from his players

After winning just one game on the last four, Chelsea fans are starting to turn on their World Cup winning leader, and today The Times are reporting that Big Phil is also beginning to lose the confidence of his players.

The newspaper claims players have questioned Scolari’s tactics throughout the season: for example, they sarcastically asked him if he knew Chelsea were chasing the game against Arsenal last month when he brought on Florent Malouda and inexperienced Miroslav Stoch. Criticism was also levelled at the Brazilian last weekend, when he chose to replace Michael Ballack instead of his beloved Deco.

Chelsea’s stars are also reported to be unhappy at the training ground, asking if the intensity of training can be increased because they “lack the physical power they had under Jose Mourinho.”

Scolari still has the all-important backing of the board, but if his questionable tactics continue to produce lukewarm performances and unsatisfactory results, it can only be a matter of time before he packs his bags.
