Villas-Boas accepts Chelsea blame

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas today took the blame for the club's recent poor form, admitting that he has struggled to rescue the Blues' poor season after the 3-1 defeat to Napoli in the Champions League.

Villas-Boas said: "Players don't have to take responsibility - and they shouldn't have to take it.


"They are top players and they know what they can do. But there is only one person responsible - which is me.


"The objective is to limit the damage and to get fourth position, maybe third eventually.
"If Arsenal win at Tottenham and we win, we are only seven points behind with one game against them [Tottenham] to play."
