Chelsea sit nine points behind Manchester United and we’re past the halfway stage of the football season, so it’s clear that Carlo Ancelotti’s team cannot afford to drop any more points if they are to retain their Premier League crown this term.

John Terry is not a happy captain at the moment and claims that the team have not produced the level of performances expected of them. The England international has stated that they have to start getting things right during the second half of the campaign.

“Our recent performances have not been good enough, we’re not playing at the level we can and we’re slipping further behind the leaders with every point we drop,” he is quoted by the Daily Star.

“That’s unacceptable for a club like this, where we expect to win every game, and now we have to start to put things right.

“This squad should be challenging at the top of the league, winning games and pushing hard in every competition.

“That remains our aim, even if we have gone off course recently. But, before we start thinking about silverware, we have to concentrate on starting to win games again.”
