He stuck his chest out, he stood there, he made a stand, mate, make a stand when the game is on, do something about it, lead your players, you\u2019re an individual who plays for himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He\u2019s probably there talking to the coaching staff trying to blame everyone else around him, that ain\u2019t what leaders do, they galvanise their teammates, they make sure they\u2019re organised, he has to know when he\u2019s on that pitch what Liam Rosenior wants, and he has to try and implement it on the pitch for his manager.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018They are not playing for their manager. Whether it\u2019s him, Pochettino, Potter, Enzo Maresca, they throw them all under the bus. The players need to look at themselves but the club needs to change, you are not going to shift the mindset of these Chelsea fans.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Cucurella was poor tonight, Gusto was poor, the centre-backs are not good enough, whether it\u2019s Fofana, Hato or Chalobah, they\u2019re not good enough, the goalkeeper is not good enough. They need experienced players, no only in age but who have played a lot of games and know the Premier League, I want to see leaders on that team like the Chelsea of old.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This is not Chelsea Football Club, it\u2019s nothing like I recognise from a Chelsea Football Club\u2026 terrible.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>For more stories like this,\u00a0check our sport
