“I can’t see him making it at Chelsea” ” Maresca ball is never for you” – Fans call out Chelsea star to be sold after his bad performance against Astana
Fans on X have called out Carney Chukwuemeka despite Chelsea’s 3-1 away win over FC Astana in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday, December 12. Chukwuemeka was poor in midfield and lost possession of the ball 14 times during the game.
Marc Guiu opened the scoring in the 14th minute after being set up by Pedro Neto. Four minutes later, Astana’s Aleksandr Marochkin scored an own goal, doubling Chelsea’s lead.
In the 39th minute, Renato Veiga scored the Blues’ third goal after receiving a brilliant pass from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Marin Tomasov pulled one back for FC Astana in the 45th minute, making the score 3-1 at halftime. The second half was eventful, as the Blues missed several chances in attack. However, the game ended 3-1 in favor of Enzo Maresca’s men.
In 67 minutes on the pitch, Chukwuemeka had a passing accuracy of 89% (40/45). He registered three shots on target and won five out of 10 ground duels contested.
Fans on X expressed their disappointment with the 21-year-old’s performance, with one posting on X:
“Carney Chukwuemeka, I’m sorry Maresca ball isn’t for you.”
“Carney will be sold. Might do better at Milan,” a fan added.
“Yeah. Carney’s ship has sailed,” another fan added.
“Carney either needs a loan or a permanent move, he looked so far off it,” a fan opined.
“Carney should be going by January, man was sh!t throughout,” another fan opined.
“Carney this is a hard goodbye,” wrote another.
Chukwuemeka has failed to register any goal contribution in four appearances this season. The Blues are ranked first in the Conference League standings, having registered 15 points from five games.
