Keown told BT Sport: 'Everything at Chelsea is short term except for the players. He's gone to war with the players now.
'Is he going to survive this? He's talking about mentality and the hunger of the players.
'It’s going to have to work because they’ll just change the manager. They won’t change the players.
'This group of players have survived several managers. At the moment you’d have to say the wheels are coming off.
'He’s blaming the players. He’s digging the players out. If it doesn’t improve, they might look to change the manager.'
