Chelsea fans Turn on Blues during Wolves Defeat
Chelsea fans were furious as the Blues lost 4-2 at home to Wolves, increasing pressure on Mauricio Pochettino. Roman Abramovich chants heard.
Chelsea fans expressed their frustration on Sunday as their team suffered a devastating 4-2 loss to Wolves in the Premier League. This defeat marked a new low for the team, dropping them into the bottom half of the league standings. The pressure on manager Mauricio Pochettino continued to mount as fans loudly booed the team off the field at full time.
The dissatisfaction among fans was evident throughout the match, with jeers directed at Raheem Sterling as he was replaced by Mykhailo Mudryk. Additionally, songs mocking the team could be heard from the stands, highlighting the growing discontent among supporters.
Despite significant investments in the team, including over £1 billion in transfers since Todd Boehly took over as owner, Chelsea has struggled to deliver results on the pitch. This season's performance has been particularly disappointing, with the team currently on their third permanent manager under Boehly's ownership.
During the defeat to Wolves, fans were heard chanting for former owner Roman Abramovich, who brought numerous titles to the club before being forced to sell due to the conflict in Ukraine. Calls for a change in management were also evident, with fans chanting "we're f***ing s***" during the match.
The frustration extended to the players as well, with reports of Moises Caicedo, a summer signing for £115 million, smashing his seat in frustration when he was substituted. The team now faces upcoming matches against Aston Villa in an FA Cup replay, as well as visits to Crystal Palace and Manchester City in the league.
Pochettino, who faced criticism for his handling of Mudryk, will need to work to turn around the team's fortunes and regain the support of disillusioned fans. The situation is becoming increasingly dire, as evidenced by Thiago Silva's wife's post on social media urging for change before it's too late. The pressure is on for Chelsea to make significant improvements and salvage their season.
