If anyone will get us out of this hole, it will be Mourinho, says Terry.

Chelsea captain John Terry has said that manager Jose Mourinho, despite the club's poor performance, is the best man to help them recover from their miserable start to the season.

"If anyone is going to get us out of this hole it is going to be Jose Mourinho," 34-year-old Terry said.

"We have the best manager, who we remain behind, and we remain together.

"We are looking low on confidence." he added, "But we have a big group of players in that dressing room and we need to stand up, which we will do.

"We must win at home to Aston Villa after the international break, which is maybe a good opportunity for players to go away and clear their heads and come back after that and really kick on.

"Once you can get one win you build on that."

Chelsea is currently occupying the 16th position in the table standings.

Mourinho last week, after his side was defeated 3-1 by Southampton had said he would not quit unless the players expressed a lack of trust in him
