Arsenal legend, Paul Merson has slammed Chelsea manager, Liam Rosenior after the Gunners defeated the Blues in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg tie on Tuesday.
Recall that Kai Havertz’s second half late goal ensured Arsenal defeated Chelsea to qualify for the Carabao Cup final.
Following the 1-0 loss, Rosenior emphasized the need for Chelsea to focus on “improvement” after the match.
However, Merson was critical of Rosenior’s remarks, suggesting that the 41-year-old spoke as if he inherited a team languishing at the bottom of the Premier League.
“I would love to talk to Arsenal players and ask, ‘Are you shocked what happened tonight? Did you think Chelsea would come here and have a right go?’ Merson told Sky Sports.
“Liam is talking like he came into Chelsea like they were fifth bottom in the league, they were not fifth bottom, they were still flying along, he is talking about improvement, Chelsea fans won’t be happy with that, I am sorry.”
