Chelsea head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has admitted that his side are lacking a vital spark in midfield to open up sides at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have won just three of their nine league games on home turf this season, having been held to four draws as well as losing to Liverpool and Arsenal.

Scolari told the Daily Mail: "We lack an organiser who can get hold of the ball, get forward and energise our frontline, I just have players who work on the ball.

"Deco, Michael Ballack and Frank Lampard can all shoot, but I don't have a player who can dribble.

"When we are at home our opponents close up at the back, with lots of men behind the ball.

"That makes it difficult when don't have an organiser. It's different when we play away. The home sides play a more open game.

"There is no point in me weeping or moaning or seeking blame. I have to find a solution and that is what I will do."
