Chelsea managed a 2-1 win over Malmo in the Europa League, but their limp performance really didn’t impress anyone.
They didn’t put much good play together, and conceded a late goal just when it looked like they were about to at least walk away with a two goal win.
Understandably fans overall didn’t judge many of the players well. There were a lot of quiet showings, and even some poor performances. Twitter is pretty harsh, but while some were just dull against mediocre opposition, others were genuinely bad.
At least Willian was able to put a good ball in once, and Pedro another time, and players were able to get on the end of them two hand us our first two away goals in 2019 so far.
Let’s hope they can kick it up a gear against Man United on Monday.
Here’s how Twitter judged their performances:

Barkley:
I will say Barkley has looked improved so far. The one thing I’ll never criticize him for is his effort. Good worker.

Jorginho:
Among all eight Chelsea players to attempt 20+ passes in the first half vs. Malmo, Jorginho recorded the lowest passing accuracy (88%).

Giroud:
Olivier Giroud marks Valentine's Day with a backheel almost as gorgeous as him. He'll be getting another card in the post.

Willian:
How has Willian been our number 1 set piece taker for long? He's awful… yet takes literally everything.

Barkley puts us ahead! Great cross from Pedro 👏 #CFC #KTBFFH #MALCHE https://t.co/n73f4Invaq
