Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has rejected the notion that he is hurting at the club's plight.
The Blues are in a tough situation, as they are in the second half of the Premier League table.
With the season nearing its conclusion, the Blues have lost six games in a row and have not won since Lampard took over as caretaker.
However, asked if he was hurting given he is a club legend, Lampard told reporters: "I'm not hurting because it might be me but I've been part of this club through its big success. It's the same in sport, any sport, it can give you moments of adversity.
"We at Chelsea have been pretty fortunate for 20 years but when the spotlight is on you, it's on you and as a professional player or coach, you have to understand and handle that because every team will have these periods. Even as a fan base, you can be frustrated, want more, whatever, but I also think you have to have an understanding of what's happened in the last 20 years at Chelsea Football Club.
"It's not one for me, personally, to sit on and hurt us it's more of finding the action of what's going to get us out of this. The action this season is not going to get us in the Champions League, the top eight or whatever. Who knows where it will get us? But it will be like the first small step and that's what we have to consider. Not all fans want to hear that but it's a reality."
