Terry: Anfield defeat could galvanise Chelsea
Chelsea captain John Terry believes the defeat at Liverpool was a "kick up the backside" the team needed.
Two superbly-taken goals by Fernando Torres inflicted only the Blues' second Barclays Premier League defeat of the season, preventing them restoring their five-point advantage at the top of the table.
The visitors were left reeling by Liverpool's first-half display and even though they had the better of things after the interval there was no way back for Carlo Ancelotti's side.
Having struggled to overcome Blackburn last weekend Terry feels the players have to take a look at themselves and their performances.
"I don't think we ever take things for granted at this club but maybe this is the kick up the backside we all needed," he said. "We haven't been playing too well recently but have been grinding out results.
"We have another gear to find and we're still at the top of the Premier League, so we have to be encouraged by that but we can't forget what has got us there in the first place."
