“Worst player to ever play in a Chelsea shirt”, “Let’s finished him” – Chelsea fans destroy Chelsea star after another poor performance against Arsenal
Chelsea fans ripped apart Raheem Sterling for his lackluster display during the 3-1 Premier League defeat at Arsenal. Frank Lampard’s team suffered their sixth consecutive defeat across competitions as their free fall continued.
Martin Odegaard scored a brace before Gabriel Jesus made it 3-0 in the first half. While Noni Madueke plled one back, his strike proved to be a mere consolation. Sterling, though, bore the brunt of criticism for his performance. During the 71 minutes he was on the pitch, the Englishman completed only 14 passes. He made no crosses, completed no dribbles and took no shots on target.
Sterling also lost possession 13 times. Overall, it was a lackluster display from the former Liverpool star, so fans lambasted him for his performance. One wrote on Twitter:
“That guy is a fraud.”
Another chimed in:
“Dreadful. So so bad tonight from the first minute.”
The Gunners have moved back to the top of the standings courtesy with their first league win in five games. They have 78 points from 34 games and hold a two-point lead over Manchester City, who have two games in hand.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have 39 points from 33 games and slipped to 12th place. Their season keeps getting from bad to worse, and frustrated fans pointed their fingers at Sterling.
Here are some of the best reactions across Twitter after Sterling’s performance in the Arsenal-Chelsea game:
