“You can’t blame them because they don’t know who is going to the the next manager.
“It’s a tricky situation for the club.”
After his scathing comments, the 36-year-old was asked what they need to do to put things right.
And he said: “First of all they need to find a good manager and stability in the club.
“Because in past years they always have players leaving at the end of seasons and it’s been a long time since they kept the same group of players.
“You still have great players in Mesut Ozil and [Nicolas] Pepe and even the defence.
“I think it’s more like a lack of confidence why the defenders aren’t performing.”
