The fans of Chelsea were furious with Thiago Silva for his performance in the team’s 2-1 loss to Wolves.

The 39-year-old Brazilian produced maybe his worst outing of the season as the Blues dropped their ninth Premier League match. Mario Lemina headed the ball past Dorde Petrovic after the break to put Chelsea down.

Nevertheless, they were lucky to escape with a point in the first half when Hwang Hee-chan stopped Silva from playing with the ball and found Joao Gomes, whose shot went wide.

In stoppage time, Matt Doherty gave Wolves a second goal that appeared to give Gary O’Neill’s squad the victory. But in the 96th minute, Chelsea’s first goal came from Christopher Nkunku, setting up a nerve-wracking finale. However, the home team’s back-to-back victories demonstrated their mettle.

Chelsea’s third consecutive defeat reduced them to 10th place in the Premier League. Many fans have criticized Brazilian international Thiago Silva, with some even advocating for his retirement for squad matters.

An individual on X (formerly Twitter) stated that it would be ideal for Thiago Silva to step down. “Thiago Silva needs to retire, or at least move to the MLS or somewhere,” someone commented. Someone else questioned Thiago’s constant concern for the weekend, given that all of his former comrades had been unwinding for years.

At 39 years old, Silva is now the oldest player in the Premier League, and some fans have theorized that his recent decline in performance may be related to becoming older.

Mauricio Pochettino has drawn criticism from some Chelsea supporters for failing to rest the former PSG captain, who has started every game for the Blues in 16 of their 17 Premier League contests.

Fans expressed their affection for Thiago Silva, but some felt that at 39, he shouldn’t be playing every match back-to-back. Another said, “This poch guy gives everyone rest besides 80 year old Thiago Silva.”
