Blame for poor recent form has been pinned on everyone from manager Andre Villas-Boas, owner Roman Abramovich to the Blues' playing staff.

The boss, perhaps understandably, has had to shoulder a fair share of the flak being thrown at the west London club recently.

The Portuguese coach has had an ageing squad to work with however, and his star striker Fernando Torres is refusing to score for him when picked ahead of Didier Drogba.

Roman Abramovich might not have splashed the cash too much in January but he did bolster the defence with Gary Cahill.

And he squad themselves have avoided too much criticism, sheltered by under-fire manager Villas-Boas, but they were booed off at half-time on Saturday at Stamford Bridge and will be wary of being dropped should poor performances continue to plague the side.
