Kai Havertz has been criticised for 'seeing off two Chelsea managers', with stars told to 'pull their finger out' amid their dismal campaign.
It is certainly a season to forget if your a Blues fan, who are enduring an almighty slump under boss Graham Potter.
Potter is still backed by the Chelsea board, despite being under pressureChelsea have scored just four goals throughout 2023 so far
Chelsea have won just once in their last 11 games in all competitions, netting just four goals in that period.
The Blues have also failed to secure a victory away from home since October 16, with boss Potter - despite being backed by Todd Boehly - under increasing pressure.
Potter's men sit tenth in the Premier League, 14 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham, who they lost 2-0 against over the weekend, while they are only ten points above the bottom-three.
Fingers have been pointed towards the former Brighton boss, but the onus is on Havertz and the rest of the players, says talkSPORT pundit Gabby Agbonlahor.
"The big worry for me when I watch Chelsea, and especially against Spurs at the weekend, was the body language of some of the players," he told talkSPORT Breakfast.
"Even Enzo Fernandez, he has been outstanding for Chelsea, but even he looked a bit fed up with his teammates and the lack of connection to between them.
Agbonlahor says there's players at Chelsea that Potter won't want and manager must be given time
"[Raheem] Sterling is making runs and nobody is finding him, players are trying to play one-twos and they are not used to playing with each other.
"I think he [Graham Potter] is under pressure, but we do not know what the owner wants. Give him until the end of the season, he gets a good pre-season, and gets rid of the deadwood, the players not good enough, then he can work with the players in pre-season.
"Then after ten games in the season, if Chelsea are not up there fighting for the title, then you get rid of him.
Havertz has scored in big games for Chelsea, including the winner in the Champions League final, but there is an overriding sense the German has not fully delivered for the Blues
"These players have a lack of confidence and chemistry between them.
"Look at [Kai] Havertz, he saw two managers off, he is not doing anything. He is not a number nine or ten, he is not holding the ball up, or even scoring goals.
"[Ruben] Loftus-Cheek has not performed for ages, so some of these players need to get their finger out, and putting in some performances, and not just blame the manager for everything."
