Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has delivered a three-word plea to supporters after Tuesday night's disappointing draw with Brighton.
It was a result that left the Blues 12 points behind league-leaders Manchester City with Pep Guardiola's side now boasting a game in hand as well.
The 1-1 draw with the Seagulls came just days after Thomas Tuchel's side were beaten by City at the Etihad Stadium in a result that cemented their opponents as title favourites even further.
After the final whistle at the Amex Stadium, the Chelsea boss revealed that he would be giving his players a two-day break, insisting that fatigue had played a huge part in recent poor performances.
"We are mentally tired and physically tired. You can see it in our performance. It's as easy as that," Tuchel admitted in his post-match press conference.
"You can say it is an excuse or whatever but it's like this. Look at our schedule, when we arrived at Man City we had the Carabao Cup in the week and they did not. Now we arrive here and they have more days to prepare and the whole week before to prepare.
"It's like this. We play since November. We are the team that plays and plays and plays. We need to recharge the batteries, disconnect. This is my feeling and it's why I give the players two days off."
It was another disappointing display from Chelsea's attacking contingent who, aside from Hakim Ziyech's goal, created very little in the way of clear cut chances.
Hudson-Odoi played on the left-wing in support of Romelu Lukaku but also struggled to assert himself on proceedings.
On Wednesday he took to Twitter with a simple plea for supporters, writing alongside a photograph from the match: "Stick with us."
The 21-year-old is a favourite at Stamford Bridge, and has scored three goals and provided four assists so far this season, but has not been immune to criticism in recent weeks either.
Next up for the Blues is a clash with Tottenham at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon, a match Tuchel will be desperate to win with Spurs eight points behind but with four games in hand.
