“A pointless signing” “Sell him back please – Chelsea star faces huge backlash following Newcastle defeat
Joao Felix would start the game for Chelsea in the EFL Cup Round of 16. But Newcastle would end up beating them 2-0. The 24-year-old failed to perform in a big game again. He was good on the field. But there were no goal contributions from him. At the same time, he ended up missing from promising positions in front of goal.
As a result, many fans are unhappy with his performance. So much so that they did not hold back from trolling the Portuguese. The Blues made a move for the forward this summer. He enjoyed a good spell on loan with Barcelona last season. But he has not been able to perform at similar levels this season.
What did Chelsea fans say?
Fans were very honest in their assessment of Joao Felix. As per sportskeeda, many fans would slam the 24-year-old for his mid performance. One fan would even go as far as to call him a ‘pointless signing‘. The forward still has time to change his fortune at Chelsea. But, he will have to turn things around soon. Else, he will never become a regular for the first team. Especially if he does not improve soon.
Joao Felix at Chelsea this season…
As per transfermarkt, the 24-year-old has managed to be a part of 4 goal contributions in 9 games. But all of his 3 goals have come against mediocre teams. He has failed to produce when his team needed him the most. The Portuguese was one of the biggest talents in world football during his Benfica days. But Joao Felix has not been able to live up to his potential. He is not a bad player. But he can do so much more with his talent and abilities. The problem is, he hasn’t. Hopefully he will find his best form soon.
