Keane and Dixon accuse Chelsea stars of 'giving up': They have HUGE problems

Chelsea's defending continues to be hammered after Tuesday night's thrashing at Roma.

The Blues lost their Champions League encounter in Italy 3-0.

Last night, Manchester United legend Roy Keane barked: "I've not seen such bad defending as that for a long time. There are clearly problems at the club.

"They are missing one or two players with injury but they clearly downed tools at the end there. There are huge problems for Chelsea going forward."

Fellow ITV pundit Lee Dixon also took aim at Chelsea for their manner of the defeat.

The ex-Arsenal fullback stated: "Not for the first time this season defensively they were all over the place.

"By the end the numbers don't matter, they look like they have downed tools, that's the more alarming thing, that they look like players who have given up.

"It all goes down to the players individually, if you've got it in you to drop your level that low - as good as they are when they are good - if you have got that in you, it never leaves you."
