(Reuters) - The Chelsea players need to shoulder the responsibility for their "abysmal" Premier League displays in recent weeks and not under-fire manager Antonio Conte, defender Gary Cahill said.
The defending champions have endured a turbulent period on the pitch, losing 4-1 at Watford on Monday, five days after a 3-0 home defeat by Bournemouth, increasing speculation over the future of their Italian coach.
