Chelsea 4-1 Arsenal: Lee Dixon blasts Gunners stars for having no heart and no desire after embarrassing Europa League final defeat
Arsenal legend Lee Dixon has blasted to current crop of Gunners stars, saying they have no heart and no desire after their 4-1 humbling against Chelsea in the Europa League final.It was the north London sides last chance to qualify for Champions League football, having been beaten to fourth place in the Premier League by arch rivals Tottenham by just one point.getty3

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and too many Arsenal players, had an off-day in Azerbaijan

But they blew it in Baku with a wretched defensive performance, as the Blues really eased to victory.Dixon was not happy about what he saw, from another Mesut Ozil no-show to a calamitous display at the back.The worst thing for the Highbury hero, though, is he now expects little else from Unai Emerys team. It was poor from Arsenal, the former defender said on Thursdays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.The first-half they did alright, they had the best of it without getting a shot on target, but the whole second-half performance, are we surprised by that?Im not. Its where theyre at. Theyre a fifth or sixth team and if they get to a cup final, then well done.Standards have dropped to a level where this is what we expect at the moment.Getty Images - Getty3

Arsenal have now lost each of their last four major European finals

Dixon believes Emery has a huge amount of work on his hands to transform the dreadful mentality at the Emirates Stadium.There are lots of things that are missing, he added.Certain players on the pitch last night when the goals started going in, there was no fight, there was no desire.Mesut Ozils performance last night… Ive seen him on the bench moaning at someone and obviously he was not very happy to come off, but hes got to watch the game back today and be really honest with himself.It doesnt hurt him enough, you can see that.getty3

Mesut Ozil was a passenger again for Arsenal – yet was not happy about being subbed in the 77th minute

Recruitment now is imperative and it isnt just about the standard of player now, you might have to forfeit a bit of ability to go for a little bit of heart.Until this team have got more heart and more desire, youre always going to fall short.Theyre not even challenging for the Champions League. They had it in their hands but the results at the end of the season, they folded like cheap suit. They could have got above Tottenham, but they didnt, and that had to come down to character.
