Chelsea captain John Terry has hit back at TV pundit Robbie Savage's criticism of his form - insisting he is not interested in the former Premier League midfielder's opinion.
The Blues have endured their worst start to a season for 37 years and currently sit 15th in the Premier League, having lost nine of their 17 matches in all competitions.
Ahead of Chelsea's Champions League clash with Dynamo Kiev at Stamford Bridge, Terry admitted his performances have been below-par, but refused to accept criticism from Savage due to the 'bad level' the now-retired player competed at.
nstead of listening to Savage, who played for Crewe, Leicester, Birmingham, Blackburn, Derby and Wales, Terry says he is more than willing to take individual criticism from his former England team-mates and Sky Sportspundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher.

When players have not had a career, played at a really bad level... Robbie Savage being one. He's dug me out a couple of times," he said.
"You take it as a footballer, as an individual. I'll take it from the Rios, Carraghers and Nevilles. All day long.
"From others? Nah."
Yes Terry is not having his best season, even none pro players know that, but his level has been world class high for a decade - he's been better than most defenders for a decade and won more than most players can dream of. I completely agree with him about taking criticism from those who know what it takes to be WINNING at the top level year in year out. Savage criticising Terry is like some community school science teacher saying Einstein had no idea what he was talking about.
