Chelsea fans have heavily and strongly criticised two players after their poor performance against Leeds United on Wednesday evening. Chelsea were beaten 3-1 by Leeds United on December 3. After a run of recent positive results, the Blues were sent crashing back to earth as Leeds tore them apart with a spectacular show at Elland Road. Chelsea had just gone unbeaten in November, where they beat Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona before holding league leaders Arsenal. Many had expected that they would make easy work of Leeds United, who started the game in the relegation places and were winless in their last four games.
Enzo Maresca made five changes to the side that drew with Arsenal on Sunday, a decision that backfired greatly as Leeds ran them out of the park. A series of calamitous mistakes gifted the hosts a 2-0 lead inside the first 45 minutes. Jaka Bijol opened the scoring with a powerful header from a corner kick after Liam Delap lost his man. Chelsea then gave the ball away in the 43rd minute, which fell to Ao Tanaka, who let fly from way out to give the Whites a cushion going into the break. Maresca made two changes at the start of the second half, which paid off instantly as Pedro Neto halved the deficit. But just when Chelsea were in the ascendancy, another defensive mix-up allowed Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin to pounce and put the game beyond Chelsea’s reach. Chelsea fans slam two players Fans took to social media to criticise Tosin Adarabioyo, whose defensive errors allowed Leeds United to unlock Chelsea easily. The fans also picked out Joao Pedro’s performance after the former Brighton man failed to inspire up front.
Cfc Sheikh said, “Tonight should be the last game Tosin Adarabioyo ever plays for Chelsea. A disgrace to the badge. One of the worst defenders I have ever watched. Send him to the bomb squad NOW!!” Dmitry said, “Every time Tosin starts, we can’t control the game, and the defence is a crime scene. I can’t even describe the mechanics of how that happens, but the facts are indisputable.” While Conn FC said, “Never want to see Tosin start again. Don’t know what happened to him this season, but he has been terrible.” Ibzmo said, “Wouldn’t be against selling Joao Pedro in the summer. The sight of him rattles me.” May 290 said, “Honestly, I can’t believe how bad Joao Pedro is. We got scammed big time.”
