“Isn’t a football player, Tuchel should answer this” – as Blues fans blast Chelsea player after Everton draw
Following Chelsea 1-1 draw against Everton, Chelsea fans slammed Spanish midfielder Saul Niguez for yet another underwhelming display as the Blues title hopes fades.
Meanwhile, Saul Niguez started the game on the bench before Thomas Tuchel introduced him at the 65th minute mark when the score was tied at 0-0. Soon afterwards Chelsea sensation Mason Mount opened the scoring for the Blues, scoring in his fourth consecutive match.
However, the Blues failed to hold on to their lead for long. Everton youngster Anthony Gordan swung a free-kick into the box which was headed home by Jarrad Branthwaite. Saul Niguez was directly responsible for the goal as he failed to get his head on the free-kick for a clearance.
Saul Niguez joined Chelsea on loan from Atletico Madrid earlier in the summer. Despite his hefty reputation in La Liga, the 27-year-old has struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League.
As things stand, Saul has made nine appearances for Chelsea without a single goal or assist. Most of Saul’s appearances have come off the bench as Thomas Tuchel prefers the likes of Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Ross Barkley over the Spaniard.
The Chelsea manager has tried to play Saul as a left-wing back in recent games but even that experiment has not gone down well with the Blues.
Meanwhile, Chelsea fans took to Twitter to express their frustration after yet another poor display from the 27-year-old midfielder. Here are some of the best tweets from angry Blues supporters:
@CFCInAmerica Gaps = goals. Saul left a huge gap when he left his mark on that free kick.
@AlexGoldberg_: Saul should never be allowed access to the stadium anymore.
@_timilehinn: That Saul ? no impact
@CarefreeLewisG: Better Call Saul’s taxi to Heathrow Airport. Surely we can do a GoFundMe for the plane trip
@MaccaSport: Tuchel has to have answers about bringing on Saul Niguez in this situation. Period.
@siphillipssport: Saul isn’t a football player, I’m adamant.
@CFCYahya: We loaned out Gilmour to a relegation team and brought in Saul on loan ?????
@CfcSheikh: Saul is worse than Bakayoko was. Case closed. One of our worst ever signings.
@CFCDaily: Terminate his contract asap
@CFCDaily: Man like Saul needs to rehabilitate his law career. Football is not for him.
At least the premier league ain’t!!!
