Mauricio Pochettino sent stark Chelsea warning as Todd Boehly urged to prioritise summer exodus

Former Chelsea star Emmanuel Petit has insisted that the Blues must first solve the clear issue among the players before appointing a new manager. Having not won a game since March 11, Chelsea headed into their London derby clash against Arsenal in desperate need of three points, or at least a performance that interim boss Frank Lampard could build from.

However, after just over half an hour, the Gunners had put the game out of sight by storming into a three-goal lead. January arrival Noni Madueke scored his first goal for the club in the second half, shifting some of the embarrassment, but it was still yet another lacklustre performance from Chelsea.

Although there is clear quality among the ranks, there seems to be no unity among the squad and relationships between players don't appear to be strong. Based on what he saw, Petit has slammed the players of his former club, revealing something he noticed on the Chelsea bench at Emirates Stadium.
