New Chelsea assistant coach Eddie Newton says there's been little involved rebuilding the players' confidence.

Picking them up has proved remarkably simple.

"Listen, it's a magnificent squad and, at the end of the day, we're just talking to the players and getting behind them and just reminding them that they're top players," he said.

"'You're top players, go out there and prove it and show a bit of pride for the club that you're playing for. Everyone loves the club, everyone loves being here, and you have to show it'.

"That's exactly what we've seen."
