Contrasting fortunes for the Chelsea and Bordeaux managers on their maiden games in the Champions League but neither was happy with his team's performance.

Felipe Scolari can take satisfaction from sitting on top of both the Barclays Premier League and Group A in this competition at this very early stage but with Sunday's big match against Man United not far from Chelsea minds, he had a word of warning for his players.

'It is important to start with three points,' began Scolari, 'but we did not play very well.

'We made many mistakes when we had the ball. When you play in Champions League and you are winning 2-0 at half-time, you need to work more and more.

'Today we did not control much of the second-half. We played many times the wrong ball in the middle and maybe other teams arriving in front of our goal more quickly and with more quality than Bordeaux would be dangerous for us.'

Scolari was not denying his side could easily have added more goals to the four scored by Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, Florent Malouda and Nicolas Anelka, and the first-half was at times impressive against struggling opposition, but it was a spell between the 10^th and the 30^th minute of the second-half when he could see room for improvement.

'The players want to score more goals but when you want to score more goals without connection, you give chance to the opposing team. They only shoot one or two times at our goal but they have more time with the ball than us. We have the experience to know this.'

Bordeaux boss Laurent Blanc has even more to worry about and work on. He considers his side fluffed their lines on the big stage, despite the script being well rehearsed.

'A lot of Chelsea's danger in front of goal came from situations that we know about, talked about and predicted would happen,' said the France defending legend.

'We know Lampard is very good at getting on the end of things and it is all the more frustrating when we have tall lads at the back and lose one-on-ones with people not as tall as you.

'Chelsea's full-backs were playing virtually as wingers today but it was not anything out of the ordinary that two full-backs are putting dangerous balls across the box. It is how we block them and how we get in place to clear that's important and we weren't dong that.

'We were always up against a superior team but we were too mediocre in our mental approach and our lack of aggression.'

Scolari can now begin to rectify Chelsea's shortcomings, and plan for the visit of Man United, safe in the knowledge he can do so with his captain available following the overturning of referee Mark Halsey's red card decision.

'I am surprised and satisfied because it is the first time since I was a coach that they have reversed the decision of a referee on one of my players. I think only in England this happens and I think it is best for football,' he said.

'The Football Association understand that the referee is not a god and he makes some mistakes sometimes - the same as you and me and the players do.'
