Ex-Blues star Emmanuel Petit reveals 'shocking' details from close to Chelsea's dug-out

Emmanuel Petit has claimed he saw players arguing on the bench during the Chelsea's 3-1 defeat against Arsenal, with the former Blues star criticising the 'attitude' and 'lack of unity' among the squad.

The Blues were poor as they went 3-0 down in the first half before netting a consolation in the second half of their 3-1 defeat at the Emirates.

The result marked Chelsea's sixth consecutive loss since Frank Lampard took interim charge.

Petit told Premier League Productions he was shocked by the lack of unity in the squad.

‘I was quite close to the Chelsea bench and I saw some of the players having arguments between them in the second half especially,' Petit said.

‘I was very shocked in the first half the attitude of the players, the body language, no response, no pride, no unity, no friendship.

‘I was thinking you could put 20 managers on the bench and it won’t change anything at all at the moment.

‘They need to clear something in the dressing room first and then think about the manager afterwards.

‘You can put the best manager on the bench now and he doesn’t get the right answer, there are too many players.

'It’s a mess and it was embarrassing to watch Chelsea in the first half and I feel sorry for the fans.’
