Chelsea icon Frank Leboeuf savagely tore into the Blues’ underperforming stars after their “shameful” FA Cup exit at the hands of Manchester City at the weekend.
The West London side saw their journey in the competition ended at the third round stage for the first time since 1998 after finding themselves on the end of a 4-0 humbling at the Etihad Stadium. They were three goals behind at the break following a woeful first period with the Blues now having lost six out of their last nine matches in all competitions.
The fallout began immediately with Leboeuf taking aim at first-team stars Kai Havertz, Mason Mount and Jorginho for their showings and claimed that it “disrespected” both the club and the fans. Speaking to ESPN FC at half-time, he said: “Shameful, really shameful. I’ve never seen Chelsea so low in terms of willing, they don’t have the will, they don’t have the guts, they don’t have the courage to fight for the colours, they don’t have pride.
