netted a brace for Vitor Pereira’s side, who took a huge stride towards Premier League safety.
‘s only consolation came from Joao Pedro’s late overhead kick but the Blues were off the pace again in their sixth straight league loss.
Carragher said he was stunned at Chelsea’s recent downfall and claimed the Blues hierarchy were to blame.
He told Sky Sports: “It’s shocking and it comes from the top.
“There’s five or six really top players on the pitch today and they’ve been beaten by ‘s B team.
“Less than 12 months ago, they were taking PSG to the cleaners.
“There’s no connection between the players and the staff, the players and the fans.
“In some ways, it’s a good thing because it tells you that football isn’t just all about spending money, buying players and this revolving door.

“It’s about creating togetherness and there’s nothing there. They look like a broken football club right now.”
It’s been less than two weeks since Chelsea just four months into his six-and-a-half-year contract.
Interim boss Calum McFarlane did guide Chelsea to the final in his first game in charge.
But he was brought crashing back down to earth after a woeful display against Forest on Monday.
He admitted Chelsea’s performance was unacceptable and that the team never reached the levels they were capable of.
McFarlane said: ‘The first 15 minutes were unacceptable. The manner in which the two goals were conceded really set us back. It gave ourselves a mountain to climb.
“You can’t do that at this level, especially against a team that’s fighting for their life. I don’t think we ever got to our level, that we know we’re capable of.
“I know this group. They are driven. They want what’s best for themselves, they want what’s best for this club, and we’re going to do everything we can to try and win every single game we can from now to the end of the season.”
Chelsea are ninth in the Premier League table and ten points off fifth-placed , who occupy the final spot.
