“I was very shocked in the first half by 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 afterward.
“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.”
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard, unimpressed with his side’s performance, admitted that Arsenal was the better team.

‘Chelsea has been a big success for 20 years domestically and in the Champions League; at the moment, we’re not in that position. But from the moment I’ve been here, it’s been evident we’re too nice as a team.
“We can’t change things overnight, but we better get there quickly because we have another game at the weekend and games to come.
“The passive nature of our game you can attribute it to many things. There’s the easy go to that the players don’t care enough, but they do care. You can be low on confidence but still show a dynamic side to your games. All the things we spoke about before the game we didn’t do.”
