Petit was present in Chelsea's 3-1 defeat to Arsenal and said disagreements could be seen among the players on the pitch. Petit, the World Cup champion, said:
“I was pretty close to the Chelsea bench and in particular I saw some players arguing with each other in the second half.
"I was shocked in the first half by the attitude of the players, the body language, no reaction, no pride, no solidarity, no friendship. I think you can put 20 coaches on the bench. And that's not going to change anything at the moment.They have to clean something up in the dressing room first, then think about the manager later.
“You can put the best coach on the bench and he doesn't get the right feedback, there are too many players. It was a mess and it was a shame to watch Chelsea in the first half and I apologize to the fans.

YES SAY YOUR SAY! Will Mauricio Pochettino turn Chelsea's fortunes around next season? Comment below.
Pochettino is likely to be named their next new boss before the end of the campaign but won't be in charge until next season. But a series of miserable forms have given him key clues as to who should be kept and sold at Stamford Bridge.?

Having spent more than £600m under Todd Boehly, Chelsea will also have to balance its books to comply with spending restrictions and the financial burden of missing out on Europe. They will make the most of cashing in on homegrown players like Mount, Loftus-Cheek and Gallagher, while Callum Hudson-Odoi has almost become a forgotten man on loan at Bayer Leverkusen.
But few Chelsea players are backing their long-term prospects with recent performances and although the size of the team caused a huge disturbance in the dressing room with big stars out, the attitude of they sounded the alarm bells loudly.
