Cesc urges Chelsea players to step up after Jose criticism

“Yes we can, 100% there is enough time to achieve it. But we have to start from now”, Fabregas is quoted as saying by Sky Sports. My best qualities are to read the game for my players, every detail about the opponent.

“They score goals, so there is always a chance, but some of their rivals have much more depth in their squads, which always counts over the course of a full season”. Players in crucial positions are not at their normal level.

Chelsea’s latest flop in a dismal season left Mourinho admitting he was growing increasingly frustrated by an astonishing slump that could lead to his sacking. Some of them are different.

Chelsea are now 20 points off leaders Leicester City and 14 points adrift of the Champions League places approaching the halfway stage of the season.

“For the moment we are first, but it means nothing, the big guys will wake up at some moment”, he said.

Speaking in an interview on RMC, he said: “I will stay until the end of the season”. “But I feel like my work was betrayed”.

“I do think Leicester can match my ambitions”, Vardy told Mirror.

“I don’t think about anything apart from wanting to beat Sunderland (on Saturday), play my best and that’s it”, added Fabregas.

Jose Mourinho insists he will not spend his way out of trouble and has instead called on his under-performing Chelsea players to regain their pride.

However, if they decide to get rid of Mourinho, Abramovich will be forced to pay him more than £40million, as he would have to buy out his four-year, £250,000-a-week deal. “The players have to put their feet on the ground and be humble”. But even if they get lucrative offers from top-tier European clubs next month, Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri said that they will not sell their stars. We are sad because of the defeat but we have to keep going, to try to win some games and to recover from this situation which is not easy for us.
