Anelka insists Blues in hunt for treble despite loss

NICOLAS ANELKA maintains Chelsea’s season is very much still alive despite falling further behind in the Barclays Premier League title race.

Blues manager Luiz Felipe Scolari accepted following the comprehensive 3-0 defeat at Manchester United — watched by former boss Jose Mourinho — that his side were not playing well enough to secure silverware of any description come May.

The Brazilian, though, has vowed to improve the performances and insists the remedy does not lie with simply bringing in new faces during the January transfer window.
