Chelsea captain John Terry hit out at his team mates after they slumped to another defeat; this time in the Champions League as they lost 3-1 to Roma.

  • Arsenal leading race to sign Belgian midfielder

  • "If we are going to perform like that we are going to get nowhere near the Champions League final," warned Terry. "That's a simple fact.



    "The final is a big target and we want to come back here in May, but with that kind of performance and work-rate we have no chance.



    "Everyone has seen how well we've been playing this season, the movement has been great and we have been fighting for each other.



    "When you play anywhere in the world first and foremost you have to fight and show more determination than the opposition to win the game.



    "If it comes down to quality, nine times out of 10 we are better than most sides.



    "It has to start first and foremost with a desire to win. It was a terrible night for us really. We didn't get going. Overall it was disappointing that we didn't even fight, even after going 1-0 and 2-0 down.



    "We didn't show the fight and desire that has got us here over the last few years. Lately we haven't conceded goals but we conceded three.



    "That doesn't happen normally, but we didn't show the fight to get back into the game. We just sort of strolled and came here thinking we were better than them when clearly we were not. Hopefully we can move on from here."
