KEY POINTS:
Luiz Felipe Scolari wants to buy a flair player in January after admitting Chelsea have struggled to break down teams who set out to frustrate them.
Faced with defensive opposition, Scolari believes Chelsea are too easily frustrated and he is more convinced than ever that a playmaker in Robinho's mould is essential when the transfer window reopens.
"When I started here at Chelsea, I said I wanted one player who is different, someone who'll try something different when we play against teams who close us down," Scolari said. "It's easier for us to play away because opponents open up more and give us more chances.
"Clubs that play at Stamford Bridge play defensively, with eight or nine at the back. They come here to play for a draw and, if it's possible, score from a corner, a foul or a counter-attack.
"We're not creating very good situations to get in front of goal against them. Many times, we have opportunities, maybe two, three or four, but we make a mistake, shoot wide, high or don't pass very well."
