John Terry last night pointed the finger at his Chelsea[LNB]team-mates for getting Luiz Felipe Scolari the sack and admitted only 'two or three players' supported the Brazilian coach. [LNB]In a remarkable admission, the England captain revealed that he is preparing to lift the lid on Scolari's turbulent seven-month spell at Stamford Bridge after tonight's friendly here against Euro 2008 champions Spain. [LNB]Hours after it became clear that owner Roman Abramovich was bringing in Russia coach Guus Hiddink to replace Scolari, Terry said: 'I've got sympathy for Scolari and I'm very shocked by what's happened. He had my support, that's for sure. Two or three other players will say exactly the same thing. [LNB]Which players revolted against Luiz Felipe Scolari at Chelsea?

Scolari's a great man and unfortunately when the team aren't playing well, it falls on his head. [LNB]'Maybe they (the owner) should look at some of us. We did under-achieve. The overall picture needs to be looked at by the powers that be at the club.'

[LNB]Terry and his England team-mate Frank Lampard are believed to be the two players who remained behind Scolari until the bitter end.[LNB] Sympathy: Terry says the players should take the blame for axing of Scolari[LNB]The England skipper added: 'I'm not affected by it. We have not been performing well individually and collectively as a squad and that falls on the manager's head. That's unfair because a few of us could have done better in our time with the manager. [LNB]'We started off very well, but form and results dipped. At the start, I was playing well for the first five or 10 games. Since then I could have been better. [LNB]'I'm my own worst critic and I know I need to improve my fitness and my game. That coincided with Chelsea's poor run of form and I could have done better. I hold my hands up to that. [LNB] Astute: Guus Hiddink would stabilise the club if he was made boss, says Terry[LNB]'With everything that's going on, to be away from England and concentrate on my own game is a relief given what's happening back home.' [LNB]Terry said Hiddink would stabilise the club. 'He's very astute,' said the defender. [LNB]'His teams play, they get the ball out from the back. I don't know too much more about him but we will have to wait to see.'[LNB] HAVE YOUR SAY: Who is John Terry talking about?[LNB]MARTIN SAMUEL: No more puppets Roman, what you need is a monster at Chelsea[LNB]EXCLUSIVE: The Chelsea part-timer - Hiddink set to double up with Russia and Kenyon may be next to go[LNB]ASH WEDNESDAY: If Hiddink wants to succeed he could do worse than learning The Language of English football[LNB]Jamie Redknapp: Player power is a dangerous game to play[LNB]Deco left in disbelief over Scolari's sacking at Stamford Bridge[LNB]CHELSEA FC NEWS FROM ACROSS THE WEB[LNB] [LNB] [LNB]
