John Terry--- Chelsea FC players lucky not to be sacked!

Jose Mourinho was dismissed following a run of abhorrent results and the former England captain admits that several players are fortunate to still be at the club.

Chelsea captain John Terry admits that several players are lucky to still be in a job at the club following the sacking of Jose Mourinho last week.
The Portuguese was dismissed following a dire 2-1 away loss to Leicester City which left the reigning Premier League champions marooned in the bottom-half of the table, just a solitary point above the relegation zone.

Guus Hiddink has since been appointed on a temporary basis, and Terry admits that the players must take responsibility for Mourinho's departure, readily conceding that several are fortunate to still be at Stamford Bridge.

"If it was the case where you could get rid of a lot of players I'm sure clubs would do that, but unfortunately it does fall on the manager's head, there's nothing we can do about that," Terry said.
"Obviously we are gutted the manager has gone, we as players feel responsible for that. We are not hiding away from that fact."

The Blues beat Sunderland 3-1 on Saturday in their first game following Mourinho's departure, and Terry feels his side can mount an unlikely charge on the top-four, despite lying 11 points adrift of fourth-placed Tottenham.

"I think from the first-half performance, who knows?" he said.

"It is going to be difficult to win every game, we know that, but step by step there are a lot of games over Christmas. If we can go on a good run and climb the table over Christmas, then who knows?

"But look at the likes of Leicester. You expect them to drop off, but they haven’t. Teams are doing well above us, so that’s even more reason why we have to keep winning."
