“you can’t trust him to deliver”, “brain-dead player” – Chelsea fans blasts 24-year-old Chelsea star after worst display in 2-0 loss to Aston Villa
Chelsea fans were left fuming with Marc Cucurella over what he did during the Premier League home defeat against Aston Villa on Saturday, April 1.
Cucurella, who joined the Blues from Brighton & Hove Albion last summer for £62 million, has failed to find his feet for the club.
His performance against Villa was also underwhelming as the left-back played a crucial role in allowing Ollie Watkins to score the opener. His poor header fell straight in the striker’s path to finish calmly past Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Since his summer arrival, Cucurella has played 29 matches for the Blues, registering two assists to his name. However, defensively, the Spaniard has often been shaky.
Against Villa, he made only one tackle, two interceptions, and lost possession five times.
Fans on Twitter scathed him as one wrote:
“Cucurella is the worst footballer I’ve seen.”
Another fan had chosen adjectives for him, writing on Twitter:
“Utterly brain-dead from Cucurella after a good start. No communication from Koulibaly. Disaster.”
Here are some of the reactions from fans across Twitter after Cucurella’s poor performance during Chelsea vs. Aston Villa:
@ExpertEnzo: Potter continually opting for Cucurella over Badiashile is crazy to me.
Ooo, Brighton friends!
@Cfc9out_: Cucurella is the worst footballer I’ve seen
@the_uchechi_: I really don’t know the position Marc Cucurella is good at – as a full back you can’t trust him to deliver, as a wing back, you’d still need your number 6 to back up for him every now and then.. #PotterOut
@CFCCentral3: Utterly brain-dead from Cucurella after a good start. No communication from Koulibaly. Disaster.
@SirJerry_cfc: imagine blaming Cucurella playing as a CB when we literally have Badiashile.
@Schurrlockk: Opting Cucurella instead of Ake looks a terrible mistake in hindsight
