“One of our worst player throughout this season” “Sell him this summer please” – Chelsea fans WANTS €40m Chelsea man out of the club after 5-0 defeat to Arsenal
Benoit Badiashile showed great promise in his first half a year at Chelsea, but following yet another subpar season in 2023–24, Blues supporters appear to have had enough of the Frenchman.
In January 2023, the 23-year-old transferred from AS Monaco to Stamford Bridge for €40 million, and he quickly established himself at the center of Chelsea’s defense.
Badiashile proved to be an exceptional player despite the west London club’s season ending in mid-table. His game-changing passes were a great advantage to the Blues.
However, he has been a completely different player this campaign.
Badiashile has only started nine Premier League games so far this season and while many of his absences have been due to injury, he has frequently been left as a substitute by Mauricio Pochettino as a result of his form in 2023-24.
His biggest error came against Newcastle United in December, with an awful touch leading to Callum Wilson opening the scoring in the Carabao Cup tie.
He was also brought on as a late substitute against Sheffield United, but was at fault for Oliver McBurnie’s last-minute equaliser
Badiashile’s latest nervy showing came in the first-half against Arsenal. He carelessly gave the ball away twice inside the opening 15 minutes, with the former Monaco man looking extremely shaky in possession and fortunate to not directly cost Chelsea a goal. His performance didn’t improve as the match progressed as the Blues conceded five goals against Mikel Arteta’s side.
Blues fans are baffled by Badiashile’s drop-off in form and are confused as to how his performance level has dropped off a cliff this season.
@Bongani_Dlams: It’s not even 15 mins into the game and I’ve already seen enough of Badiashile.
@ChessyHour: Badiashile is a complete mess now. A complete complete mess.
@stadcfc: This isn’t the Badiashile I once knew and loved
@CFCNash_: That Badiashile man, I’d put a tree there and it’d do a similar job
@danbarkzr: Badiashile one of the worst I’ve ever seen for this club
@MrGeorgeBenson: Badiashile needs to be sold. Since he got injured, he seems to have lost all footballing ability. Genuinely baffles me what goes into the water in the medical room at Chelsea.
@samiichels: I promise you I would do a better job than Badiashile at CB tonight
