Chelsea fans are furious with the ineffective tactics of new coach Mauricio Pochettino in the defeat to Nottingham Forest.
Playing at Stamford Bridge to welcome Nottingham Forest in the 4th round of the Premier League, Chelsea is expected to continue to have 1 more victory after beating Luton Town 3-0 in the previous round.
However, the Blues suffered a 0-1 defeat and the selection of the squad as well as the tactics of coach Pochettino is subject to a lot of criticism.
After a busy summer transfer window, a number of new signings were used against Forest. But putting Chilwell in the wing-back on the left left fans the most confusing.
One supporter tweeted: “Using Chilwell like this needs to end. We need to lose 0-3 today hopefully it can be over soon.”
Another commented: “Using Chilwell left wing-back is a sin”. A third fan also wrote: “Chilwell made me cry”. Meanwhile, a rival fan joked: “How can Chelsea spend 1 billion pounds and still have to use Chilwell to kick like that?”.
Chilwell, who signed a new contract in April, has started all four of Chelsea’s matches so far this season. He retained his place in the team after another tumultuous summer in West London.
The signing of Cole Palmer from Man City on deadline day has taken Chelsea’s spending past the £1 billion mark since Todd Boehly took over the Blues.
