Gary Neville slams 'pathetic' Chelsea after Arsenal loss as Mauricio Pochettino prediction made

Manchester United icon Gary Neville has launched a scathing attack on Chelsea's players following their poor showing in the 3-1 defeat against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. The Blues were 3-0 down inside 35 minutes with Noni Madueke scoring a second-half consolation goal on a disappointing night in north London.

Despite Todd Boehly spending over £600million on new signings, Chelsea sit in the bottom half of the Premier League table and are just nine points clear of the relegation zone. The west Londoners have scored just 31 goals in 33 games this season and are well on their way to recording their worst season in the Premier League for decades.

With over 30 players in the senior squad, Boehly will need to move on a number of high-earning stars this summer - which is easier said than done. Lampard is set to remain in charge until the end of the season - whilst Mauricio Pochettino is favourite to take the hot seat at Stamford Bridge ahead of the 2023/24 campaign after holding positive talks with the club regarding the vacant managerial position.
