Arsenal’s key players seem to be cracking up: Petit
March 14th, 2011 - 2:08 pm ICT by ANI
London, Mar 14 (ANI): Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit has accused the club players of “cracking up” under pressure, adding that skipper Cesc Fabregas needs to see a shrink.
Petit said: “There seems to be a curse around the club at the moment. Arsenal’s key players seem to be cracking up.”
“You get the impression that some psychological work will need to be done on Fabregas,” The Sun quoted him, as saying.
“His recent performances have been below his usual standard. He seems to have a complex over his former club Barcelona,” Petit said.
France World Cup winner Petit hit out after seeing Arsenal crash out of the FA Cup against Manchester United on Saturday, blowing three trophy tilts in 15 days.
That followed Champions League defeat at the hands of Barcelona and Carling Cup final defeat against Birmingham.
Petit, 40, won the Double with Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal in 1998. (ANI)
