John Terry turned on his Chelsea teammates after their 3-1 defeat at Wigan Athletic.
He rapped: "The least we expect from every player is that we work hard and fight - and we did not do that.
"We didn't win our headers and we didn't win our tackles - and that's simply not good enough.
"You can go anywhere and not play well. But when you come to places like this, you've got to match their work-rate. We didn't do that, the whole team. That's the most disappointing thing."
Blues were knocked off top spot by title rivals Manchester United after surrendering their 100 per cent start.
And Terry added: "All the other big sides had emphatic wins, so it's even more disappointing we've thrown away three points."
