Chelsea hero Gullit: Pochettino and board should be embarrassed

Chelsea legend Ruud Gillit has ripped into his old side for their current level of performance.

The Netherlands hero, who led the team to the FA Cup in 1997, felt they were disappointing against Manchester City in the semi-final on Saturday.

Despite putting in a spirited display, they lost 1-0, while Gullit also focused on the penalty fiasco from their 6-0 win over Everton earlier last week.

He told The Sun: “It was like watching kids, children. In a proper team that doesn't happen. It's embarrassing.

“For Pochettino it's embarrassing. For the board, it's embarrassing.

“Can you imagine me having a fight with Marco van Basten, on the pitch? That's crazy? Or someone at United having a fight with Roy Keane."
