love cfc 0 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 We won't be Blue for long - Joe Cole Joe Cole is confident that Chelsea's first taste of defeat in a major final will make Avram Grant's squad even stronger in the long term. Chelsea's Carling Cup final loss at the hands of Tottenham was the first time the squad of players put together by Grant and former coach Jose Mourinho had experienced such disappointment. But Cole, left out of the starting line-up to accommodate new £15million striker Nicolas Anelka, believes the setback can only help them become tougher. Cole said: "We are disappointed but we have got to pick ourselves up for the next game. "We will go away and digest this game but it is disappointing for everyone at the club to lose in the final. We've not experienced that before as a group and it can only make us stronger now. "We will wash ourselves of this game and concentrate on the next one. Tottenham are a very good side and give them credit for winning. But we have to move on." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Clueless is being kind. Mentally devoid is the term I'd use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
