Chelsea Have Not Downed Tools Despite Dismal Run, Says McFarlane
Calum McFarlane said Chelsea remain in a good place despite a six-match league skid that has ended automatic Champions League hopes.
On Saturday, Chelsea travels to Liverpool seeking to end a dismal six-match Premier League losing streak after falling to Nottingham Forest on Monday, marking their worst run since 1993.
Interim boss Calum McFarlane defended his squad's attitude on Thursday, insisting they are "in a good place" despite Sky pundit Jamie Carragher labeling Chelsea a "broken club."
Teenage debutant Jesse Derry will miss the remainder of the season following a horror head injury during Monday's 3-1 defeat against Forest, though McFarlane confirmed early signs are "positive."
Off the pitch, the Chelsea Supporters Trust has "overwhelmingly rejected" proposed changes to the club's ticketing policy, with fan protests planned for the FA Cup final and the Tottenham fixture.
Despite the current turmoil, McFarlane maintains the club possesses the "foundations" for future success, respecting external criticism while focusing on his daily experience with players in training.
