Didier Drogba flourished in freezing conditions in Norway

Drogba was the star of the 4-0 win in Norway and Grant said: "Many teams cannot live with Didier, we move the ball well so he can play good football.

"We can improve our game but you see that the players want to play positive football. This is our target."

"It's much easier for him when we pass the ball well and create chances."

We win games, we progress and play better from game to game. Chelsea boss Avram Grant

Grant must ponder how to cope without his main striker when he goes to the African Cup of Nations with the Ivory Coast in January.

He said: "Didier is a very good striker. Even though we win without him, we miss him and want him to play.

"I have two months until he goes. Four of our very important players will not be in the squad for a long time. It is not easy but we cannot change it. We will have to do our best."

Salomon Kalou, Michael Essien and Mikel John Obi will also away at the tournament.

Grant was delighted with the quality of his side's play as they over-ran their Norwegian opponents.

He added: "We played some good football tonight and scored four goals. We had a lot of chances but what is most important is that we qualified for the next round one game before the end and after having dropped two points in the opening round.

"We want to play positive, attacking football and I am very happy with what has happened. We win games, we progress and play better from game to game.

"We are in the next round and in a good position in the league at home. I hope we can continue the process.

"It is a long way until May but Chelsea have never been in the final and this is one of our targets, maybe the main one, because we want to be a big club.

"We want to get to the final and I hope it is this year."
