Chelsea's inability to overcome APOEL Nicosia in the Champions League on Tuesday evening will only have intensified captain John Terry's anger at the Stamford Bridge outfit's underwhelming form of late.

The centre-back bemoaned the club's loss to Manchester City, as well as their elimination from the League Cup in a penalty shoot-out loss to Blackburn Rovers.

In his pre-match programme notes for the European tussle with APOEL, Terry said: "Going to Manchester City and losing, our second defeat of the week, not only hurt, it's not what this Chelsea's about. It's got to be a real wake-up call.

"We're still top by two points and this emphasises that the Premier League's not a walk, it's a big, big battle.

"I've been going on about getting a winning run together and that's what we did before our last two games. We've got three home games in the next eight days [including APOEL] to start another one.

"And it's got to be just the start. The first target is to win all three games.

"Nothing less will do," he reiterated - but APOEL weren't following Terry's agenda.
