You have only yourselves to blame for this mess!

It's headlines like this we wake up to this morning with The Sun claiming from their so called "Chelsea source" that there is player unrest and AVB has lost the dressing room.

The basis of this information has come about because apparently Nico Anelka was banned from the club's Xmas do by AVB so the players organised a separate one and didn't tell AVB for Anelka.

The so called source is quoted saying:

"The players thought banning Nico from the Christmas lunch was just petty and spiteful. So some of the lads got together and took him for a meal at China Tang in Mayfair. Apparently, they had a great time and they didn't care if the manager knew all about it."

The article also speaks of AVB losing the dressing room further by saying:

Some players have already lost faith in their rookie boss. They complain he is arrogant, aloof and uncommunicative. They claim he is out of his depth and tactically inept. And that he names his team but does not give any proper instructions or even volunteer any sort of game-plan.

Now I just want to say that I think this is rubbish and yet again another demonstration of the papers doing "their job" to try and put even more pressure on the manager than he is already under.

All this has come about because of the group as a collective and NOT just one person be it the manager or a player!. Every single person needs to pull together, get a backs against the wall mentality and work hard to turn this round and that does include our manager.

Everyone is to blame and I cannot repeat that enough. How on earth can we show everyone we are back by beating Newcastle away, Valencia at home and then City at the Bridge and then put on a shower of shit performances against Wigan, Fulham and then to top it all off Aston Villa!?.

Whether it's down to the managers tactical decisions before and during the games, the players individual performances or as a collective, all our problems need to be addressed and it needs to be done now.

If any of you lot are reading this, then it's you as a collective that has put us in this mess and it will be you again as a collective that can sort it out, work hard together and to pull us through it!.

Don't be surprised at the headlines either because until you sort it out, they will continue and they will get worse.

You lot need to show pride in the shirt, passion to want to play for the shirt and if you don't leave now, we don't want you here!.

For those of you that do, man up and show some balls that you are all willing and hungry to fight for this club. Some of you need to realise that with hard work you earn success and you can't just turn it on when you feel like it.

As for you AVB, you were brought here because of what I believe to be immense talent. Yes you never would have experienced as a manager what you are dealing with now before so it's time for you to also want to fight for this club.

You talk the talk and now it's time for you to put your money where your mouth is and make this team walk the walk. It's down to you to motivate and inspire these players so they show us on that pitch that they want to play for you.

Like I said, I do not believe for a single second that you have lost the dressing room. I don't believe all the crap in this article.

What I believe in is simply what I HAVE TO believe in and that is that you and the players can and WILL turn this round starting today.

I don't care if you are in the team, on the bench or not even in the squad, I want you all to show us the fans and the world that you are prepared to do all you can to stay in the side or get back in it.

All eyes are on you, the pressure is on you all so you have to look at yourselves in the mirror and ask yourselves two questions:

Have I been good enough? Do I want to give my all to fight for this club?

Now get out there and show us what your made of and that we ARE good enough and we CAN beat anybody. Right now I just don't see it!
