At full time, he was able to take aim at the whole project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s shocking and it comes from the top,\u201d the pundit said on Sky Sports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s five or six really top players on the pitch today and they\u2019ve been beaten by Nottingham Forest\u2019s B team. Less than 12 months ago, they were taking PSG to the cleaners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The decline truly is start. Carragher dug into where he thought it came from.<\/p>\n<h2>Carragher blames lack of connection for Chelsea troubles<\/h2>\n<h2\/>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no connection between the players and the staff, the players and the fans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn some ways, it\u2019s a good thing (for the game in general) because it tells you that football isn\u2019t just all about spending money, buying players and this revolving door. It\u2019s about creating togetherness and there\u2019s nothing there. They look like a broken football club right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Does anyone disagree with that? We\u2019ve been saying it for a long time, the connection with the ownership and their project has simply never existing, and every passing week we get further from rebuilding it.<\/p>\n<h2>In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Joao Pedro\u2019s late goal rewarded the Chelsea fans who had stayed until the bitter end at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea had four of their five sporting directors in the stands at Stamford Bridge today to watch the disaster unfold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
