Chelsea captain Terry raps teammates: No fight, lacklustre

Chelsea captain John Terry says it's time to 'spark up'.

Sunday FA Cup draw at Brentford was Terry's first start since he suffered a knee injury in November, but it was Chelsea's 40th game already this season..

He said: "Even though it's great to be back personally, on a team performance we should be winning the game and now we've made it difficult for ourselves with a replay again..

"We have another game we could do without but we should beat them at the Bridge. I was disappointed because we didn't fight and they wanted it more..

"We're not [winning any trophies at the moment]. It's disappointing going to Swansea and not scoring over two legs of the [Capital One Cup] semi-final. Being so lacklustre, like we were at Brentford..

"Over the two legs against Swansea, at home we did better but going there, I'd rather we'd lost that three or 4-0 and give it a go and we didn't do that."
