Arsenal legend turned Sky Sports pundit Ian Wright believes that the cracks are starting to show at Chelsea, and thinks manager Antonio Conte is unhappy at the club.

The Blues were the victims of a 3-0 defeat to Roma in the Champions League on Tuesday night, a result that will pile the already mounting pressure on Conte with their season so far being just a shadow of what we all saw last season.

Chelsea face Manchester United next, a vitally important match for the Blues to win if they are to keep up with league leaders City, and Wright believes that there is something going on behind the scenes at Stamford Bridge that could be effecting the attitude of not only the manager but also the players.

“I think there is something going on,” Wright said on The Debate on Sky Sports Premier League.

“It was a bad performance. The players seem to be mirroring the attitude of the manager in his press conferences, rather than the guy that when they score you see the energy burst out of him.

“It seems like there has been rumblings of discontent from the start of the season and it seems to be carrying on now. He just doesn’t seem happy there.

“When he signed a contract and they gave him more money but no extension; when you have won the Premier League I found that very strange. That you wouldn’t want to keep a manager like that or a manager like that wouldn’t want to stay and want more years to get it right.”

“I could understand that if we are after Christmas and it’s not going well, but are we far enough in the season to say the players are tired?

“Yes the manager has intense training sessions, but you know that, they had it last season. They didn’t have the Champions League, but I don’t think that’s an excuse. I think it’s too early to say tiredness is starting to affect them.”
