IAN WRIGHT has hammered underperforming Chelsea stars Kalidou Koulibaly and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
The former Arsenal striker has blamed the duo for the Blues’ current run of bad form.
Chelsea are currently on a horrid run of form that has seen them win just once in their last nine games in all competitions.
The West London club’s last victory came against Bournemouth in the Premier League back in December.
The Blues are currently dealing with an injury crisis and even manager Graham Potter has admitted that everyone at the club is “suffering”.
Wright however has hit out at Koulibaly by suggesting that he look “f***ing nervy” against Fulham and that Spanish goalkeeper Arrizabalaga is too prone to mistakes.

He said on his Wrighty’s House podcast: “I’m looking at Kepa and I’m sorry man but it’s not working out.
“The man makes too many mistakes. He looks very nervy.
“When you look at Fulham’s goals and the Manchester City goal, I think Kepa has to do better.
“The way the ball came in [for Vinicius’ goal for Fulham], it’s a good cross, it’s a tempting cross.

“But if the goalkeeper is in the right position, it shouldn’t give you a problem.
“You either stay on your line or you go and palm it away, it was in the air long enough.
“We’re looking at a Chelsea side where even if they’re playing well, I cannot look at the goalkeeper and think he’s going to help them win a game. I can’t see it.”
Arrizabalaga is the club’s first-choice stopper after the injury to Eduoard Mendy and is likely to keep his spot in the starting eleven.
However Koulibaly was signed by the Blues in the summer for £34million, but he is yet to consistently show the form that he displayed regularly at Serie A side Napoli.
