Wesley Fofana became the first player to break Chelsea's dressing room silence after the sacking of Thomas Tuchel on Wednesday.
New owner Todd Boehly has wasted no time in dismissing the German coach just seven games into the season, and 100 days into his reign since replacing Roman Abramovich.
Chelsea are sixth in the Premier League and have made a miserable start to their Champions League campaign, with Tuchel disposed hours after their humbling 1-0 loss to Dinamo Zagreb, his 100th match in charge.
They've lost their past three away games and have kept just one clean sheet in seven matches so far this campaign.
