Hot off the press

 Is Malouda pulling his weight at Chelsea?

Chelsea's dream start to the season has begun to unravel lately, and after a series of disapointing results, the Chelsea camp seems to be quietly revolting. Reports indicate that senior Chelsea players have pointed the finger at Florent Malouda as one of the team's major underperforming stars and there is a feeling in the club that Luiz Felipe Scolari should pick Wayne Bridge on the left wing instead. The England international was overlooked in the closing stages of Sunday's defeat to Arsenal when Scolari opted to bring on the unknown academy teenager Miroslav Stoch.

The defeat has left Chelsea players frustrated at their inability to turn the game around in the closing stages and while there have been no dressing-room disputes, the consensus is that Malouda, who joined from Lyons for £16.5m last year, and Didier Drogba, injured then suspended, have failed to pull their weight of late. It is understood that the club are secretly planning to buy a striker in January despite pledges to the contrary.

It is not just Malouda who is being scapegoated. The Ivorian winger Kalou has also come under fire of late, and after a string of sub-standard performances, Chelsea may be rueing the loss of Robinho from under their noses.

What do Chelsea fans think about Malouda and Kalou, are they good enough? Who would replace them?
