Chelsea news: Gary Neville savages "disgraceful" Blues amid dressing room bust-up

The sooner this season finishes for Chelsea, the better.

The Blues have endured a thoroughly rotten campaign and are still yet to reach the 40-point mark in the Premier League following a sixth consecutive defeat under the stewardship of Frank Lampard. This time, they found themselves on the wrong side of the scoreline against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Chelsea found themselves 3-0 down at the break in North London after an awful opening period. Noni Madueke managed to pull a goal back for his first strike for the club but it ended up being another poor night for the Blues.

Chelsea slammed as "disgrace"

Gary Neville hit out at the “disgrace” served up by Chelsea as they endured a horrendous start against Arsenal.

The Blues travelled to the Emirates Stadium aiming to restore at least some personal pride against their London rivals after what has been a wretched season. It could not have gone worse after finding themselves 3-0 down at the break - Neville left scratching his head.

Taking to Twitter during the match at the Emirates, he said: “Are Chelsea’s players ok? How bad? Probably score now.”

The former Man Utd man followed that up with another tweet reading: “Chelsea are a disgrace out there.”

Silva and Chilwell in on-pitch bust-up

All does not seem to be well within the Chelsea dressing room with Chelsea stars Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell at the heart of a furious on-pitch showdown.

As the Gunners celebrated Martin Odegaard's strike, the pair could be seen gesturing to each other in what appeared to be a blazing row about who was culpable. Silva made talking gestures with his hands before Enzo Fernandez pulled the Brazilian away.

Chilwell was then seen pointing at the midfield, with Chelsea having been ripped apart by the Gunners.

Johnson agrees with Boehly

Former Chelsea defender Glen Johnson has defended Todd Boehly entering the Chelsea dressing room, recalling that former owner Roman Abramovich used to do the same.

Boehly has regularly visited the players in the dressing room, drawing criticism from some quarters. However, Johnson does not see a problem with his presence.

“If the comments are constructive, I don't see the problem with a Chairman coming into the dressing room and airing his opinions on a team," he told King Casino Bonus. "If it's nonsense and digging people out, then it's a waste of time and won't achieve anything.

"We don't know exactly what Boehly said, but if it was helpful and done in the right way I don't have a problem with it. Roman Abramovich during my time at Chelsea used to come into the dressing room all the time and give his opinion and I never took an issue. As long as it is done in the right way, I'm happy with it.”
