John Terry "We are not wanting it as much as the opposition!".

John Terry has been quoted all over the net and in the media this morning after giving a forthright and honest opinion on where we find ourselves at the moment and it's a credit to him.

He has said everything we are feeling and thinking ourselves and it's about time the rest of the players stand up and be counted. At the same time he reminds us to be realistic with the games coming up. He said:

“There’s no point pointing the finger, because we have all not done as well as we did earlier on in the season. We are not going to dig each other out. It’s about being told and listening to what each other has to say, because we have got a lot of experience in the dressing room. I’m sure someone can come up with something to get us out of this hole.

It’s not a nice feeling to be struggling like this, When you go four or five years with that winning feeling, week after week, and not suffering a blip like this, it is hard to take. I’ve not been through anything like this in my 11 years at this football club, but the more worried and the more stressed you get about things, the harder it becomes.

This is a time when things are not clicking. We were getting ricochets or deflected goals but when the chips are down you have to dig deep and make that happen yourself, because in this game no-one is going to give you anything. I think we just have got to get back to basics and look at what we were doing earlier on the season - playing with no fear, playing with confidence, getting at teams, having shots on goal, putting crosses into the box.

We certainly have the ability, nothing has changed there. Tactics haven’t changed, players haven’t changed. We are not just playing well at the moment. At times, you are going to have to just do a lot better than the opposition and at the minute we are not wanting it as much as them.

It’s about staying together and believing in each other. It is time for us all to stand up. We can change things. It would be different if we were three points behind Manchester United and didn’t still have to play them. Then it would be all in their hands. But we have to play Tottenham away, United at home, Arsenal away. They are obviously tough games, but listen, we have big players here and hopefully they are prepared to rise to the challenge and put their necks on the line for the next few games.

We are going through a bad spell. A couple of weeks ago we were seven points clear, 20 goals ahead of most teams and now we are trailing behind. But it’s not a crisis at all at the moment. We are still in with a very good shout in the Premier League and we went through in the Champions League having lost only one game.

The good thing is we are not like Liverpool at the moment. We are not out of it. We are still in with a very good chance. We certainly have the ability and the players to go to places like Tottenham, to go to Arsenal and get great wins like we have done in previous years.

We went three years without winning the Premier League and we got a taste of having it back last season. Believe me, the celebration after that, that feeling of winning and getting our hands on that trophy, was unbelievable. It was like the first time we had won the trophy.

The players realise that if we don’t start winning again soon then we are going to be giving it away to United, who are not playing well at the moment, or to Arsenal, who are not playing well at the moment.

Like I said fantastic from JT. I posted yesterday that Drogba needed have to some pride wearing the shirt and you can bet your life he will take note of JT. It's a message to the rest of the players from Terry, right now other teams want it more than you do!.

Let's hope that on Sunday we get on that pitch with a hunger and determination to get back to winning ways and fight for each other and for the shirt!.
