Fabregas tells Chelsea flops: If you are paid like a big player you have to perform like one
The midfielder feels the Blues must take
responsibility for their poor results and says it is time they started
winning following their latest defeat to Leicester CIty
The Blues were beaten 2-1 by Claudio Ranieri’s side at the King Power Stadium on Monday to leave them in 16th place, just one point above the relegation zone.
Manager Jose Mourinho accused his players of 'betraying' him after the defeat and Fabregas says his team-mates have to take responsibility, and start performing like well-paid players.
"We all have to take our responsibility, if you are a big player and are paid like a big player you have to perform and behave like a big player,” he said at a Q&A session for the New Horizons charity at Facebook in London.
"We all have bad games, but the attitude always has to be spot on and we have to be at the top of our games even when it’s not and not the behaviour that we are seeing right now from every Chelsea player."
He added: "As a player you have pride. Ok, we cannot win right now the Premier League, but come on. We all have to do better.
"Right now it's not the time to think about where we'll finish. We've been saying it all season: we draw one game, OK, next game looks easy. But we lose"Next game we say the same thing, so at the end of the day I don't think about anything, I just think that I want to beat Sunderland and play my best, and that's it because right now, no-one is easy as it shows.
"We have been putting ourselves in this position and we have to now prove, and again, we've been saying that - prove, prove, prove - since the beginning, and now we really have to start winning."
Fabregas also explained what Mourinho had said to his players at half-time on Monday night, with the Blues conceding a second goal within minutes of the restart.
"He tried to work us up and straight away they scored the second goal in the first two minutes," he added.
