John Terry: 'Jose Mourinho will end bad Chelsea form'

Chelsea captain John Terry backs manager Jose Mourinho to end his side's run of bad form, with the defending champions sitting 14th in the Premier League table.

Chelsea captain John Terry has given manager Jose Mourinho his backing after the side's slow start to the season.

The Premier League champions are currently 14th in the table, having taken just 15 points from their opening 14 matches, but Terry believes that the Portuguese coach is the right man to end the team's run of bad form.

"[Mourinho's] stability is massive for the club going forward," Terry told FourFourTwo. "What the club have done is set a precedent and said he's the man to take us forward. He will do.

"This squad of players won the league last season. There is no difference. It's a bad run of form. Really bad.

"When you have been at the top for so long, it's horrible. You don't want to go out after games, you don't want to show your face in public. It's that level."

Chelsea will take on Bournemouth in their next fixture this evening.
