The responsibility from next Saturday’s match against Watford, until the end of the season, again rests with Guus Hiddink. FC’s Steve Nicol believes that Chelsea are still vulnerable in the post-Mourinho era despite their win over Sunderland.

“It was a very important three points for the club today”, he began.
“There was a lot of pressure on us before the game but we brought it on ourselves”, Terry said.

“I don’t say anything against them, they are part of us”. “If you stand and are photographed with all the trophies last season you have to stand by the troubles this season”, Holland told Chelsea TV. “However, I am sure we can all turn this season around”, Hiddink said in a club statement.
He denied all the allegations against him but the absence of Mourinho will now see if he will up his game and put up similar performance of last season that saw Chelsea won the League. I can assure you it was not a decision we took lightly.
More recently, he has been out of work since being fired by the Netherlands in June – during the latter stages of his country’s unsuccessful attempt to qualify for the 2016 European Championship. We’re in this position because one or two have performed and the rest haven’t unfortunately.
“It’s down to him to come in and pick us up”, Terry continued. “The manager has lost his job because of that”.
