“I really hope we sell him this summer” “Every club knows he’s a waste of player” – Fans slams Chelsea star worst display in 1-0 defeat to Man City
Chelsea’s disappointing 1-0 defeat against Manchester City on Sunday, May 21, Chelsea fans are directing their frustration at Raheem Sterling. The winger, once a beacon of Manchester City’s attacking prowess, struggled in the Blues jersey, failing to make an impact on the match.
Manager Frank Lampard’s decision to persist with Sterling on the pitch was met with vehement criticism, as fans anxiously watched their club falter to a 1-0 loss. The former City man’s return to the Etihad was marked by an icy reception as he was substituted before the 70-minute mark, his performance far below the standard expected of him.
Sterling missed one big chance in the match and failed to complete any of his attempted crosses. He also lost possession of the ball on 11 occasions.
City’s loyal supporters were quick to rub salt into the wound, turning their once-celebrated winger into the subject of their derisive chants. This prompted a flurry of outraged tweets from Chelsea fans, who took to Twitter to vocalise their disappointment. Here are some reactions from the Blues faithful:
