On avram grant

So the season ends and man u retain the league ( through some horrific refreeing but that should be a separate post) but the real surprise in the season was avram grant. I have to say i was a bit shocked when jose was sacked , though it was clear that there is only one outcome when you keep sticking your tongue out at your boss, and nobody then knew who avram grant was....this joker is going to manage carvalho,ballack,terry,lampard and drogba ? everyone exclaimed . The first few weeks were horrendous to say the least defeat to manu in his first match and then a lucky draw against fulham convinved no one.....but since then the results have been astounding.
How much of it is his work is questionable though...the main weapons of chelsea still remain the dodged defending and their unbeaten record at home.....the man certainly benifitted from the professionalism of the team he inherited and its work ethic.....but then gradualy he seems to have won the team over...terry speaking out in his support is testament to that....he was much pillored for chelsea's shortcoming's in the league and fa cups...and rightly so in case of the league cup final where he sacrificed the team formation for the returning big names....
they looked short of conviciton in the fa cup qf too....
On the other hand they were awesome against manu,arsenal at home in the league and against liverpool in the champs league return leg....his team mgmt in these matches have been exceptional....but the draw against wigan again shows his/team's shortcomings...
The point is a team like chelsea with terry,makelele,carvalho,lampard,drogba,cole and anelka doesnt need much managing except a few tactical changes now and then...that has been done competently by grant....so another atleast has to given to the man to prove himself
