“Too much Ego will ruin your career” “Poor attitude from the start till the end” – Fans tears Chelsea star apart after horrific display in 1-0 loss to Arsenal
Chelsea fans on X (formerly Twitter) have blasted Pedro Neto after he couldn’t make an impact during their 1-0 loss against Arsenal. The two sides faced off in the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, March 16.
Minutes after Declan Rice missed a massive opportunity for the Gunners, Mikel Merino headed home from Martin Odegaard’s corner to break the deadlock in the 20th minute. Marc Cucurella nearly leveled the scores for Chelsea soon after, only to see the ball narrowly miss the net.
Both sides struggled for quality in the final third following the break, however, Arsenal were able to hold on to their lead to seal all three points.
Pedro Neto was entrusted to lead the line with Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer missing due to injury. The 25-year-old was poor during his 90 minutes on the pitch, creating zero chances, landing zero shots on target from an attempted three, and losing six duels. He also completed none of his two dribbles and delivered just one accurate cross from an attempted six (17 percent accuracy), as per FotMob.
One Chelsea fan criticized Neto for his ego:
“Everyone saying Madueke has a big ego meanwhile Pedro Neto has the biggest ego of them all. All he does is complain complain complain. Ego of Ronaldo, ability of Obertan.”
Another fan tweeted:
“Pedro Neto has been absolutely horrific anytime I’ve ever watched him another one FSGOuters sh*t the bed over us not signing.”
Here’s how some other fans reacted:
“Pedro Neto’s attitude was poor from the start to the end. Shame of a performance. Nkunku and Sancho aren’t players you build a team with. Shambolic,” one fan commented.
“Neto’s the biggest crybaby i’ve seen in a while, he’d probably have a 2 minute whining comp just off this match,” another added.
“This is a Nkunku/Neto hall of shame game. They need to be off the roster by June,” one fan insisted
“Neto has about 5 good games a season, overrated,” another chimed in.
