  • Chelsea suffered defeat against London neighbours Fulham as the poor form continues
  • The manner of the loss exemplifies the attitude of Blues players amid the ongoing woes
  • Thiago Silva's wife has reacted and suggested a solution to the current Chelsea problem

Chelsea may be on a losing streak but one player has stood out for his commitment and professionalism through it all, and it showed yet again in the 2-1 loss to Fulham - the first in 17 years for the Blues.

Thiago Silva has been at the heart of everything good Chelsea has been doing in defence: from co-ordination to winning aerial duels, to making last ditch tackles to goal denying clearances, he does it all.

Belle Silva, his wife and a vocal Chelsea fan, suggested the players are lacking in attitude and commitment, and they could take cues from the veteran defender to help the club overcome its current woes.

Belle reacts to Chelsea loss

When Frank Lampard pulled the trick to sign then 36-year-old Silva from Paris Saint-Germain, as reported by Sky Sports, not many would have thought it was a wise move.

It turned out to be very smart indeed, and his wife also became an endearing face to the fan base.

She is vocal about the club and connects to fans, and was nearly brought to tears as suggested by her tweet after the match last night.

Belle questions Chelsea players' attitude

After offering her reaction to the match, she tweeted again to suggest a possible solution to the problem.

In the bigger picture, Belle questioned the attitude, mentality and commitment of the players.

She claimed Chelsea needed another of her hubby in the midfield and another in the attack, to join forces with the Thiago Silva already in defence.

Potter holds Chelsea crisis talks

Belle Silva's comments may be at odds with the unity Graham Potter is trying to build at Chelsea, with the help of senior players including her husband.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that the Chelsea manager held crisis talks with senior players, in a bid to find solutions to the club's poor run of form.

Potter revealed the players he met with were Cesar Azpilicueta, Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic and Silva, although fans said nothing seemed different in the game following their conversation.
