Chelsea really suffered against Manchester United today, the Blues finding themselves ripped apart on the counter by the home side, who ended up inflicting a 4-0 defeat on Frank Lampard in his debut as a manager.
Plenty of players were given the blame on social media, with Kurt Zouma and Cesar Azpilicueta coming in for most of the criticism.
But Lampard wasn’t exempt either, and the player who opposition fans have long loved to hate came in for plenty of mockery too.
We’ll see who is smiling at the end of the season.
Zouma’s replacement of David Luiz also caused plenty of amusement:
Zouma was on the floor holding his face. Azpilicueta lost breath trying to chase Pogba. Emerson left his man wide open.
This is the most comical defending you'll ever see.

Kurt Zouma aside, this has been an excellent first half performance from Chelsea.
Kanté, Rüdiger, Hudson-Odoi, Loftus-Cheek and Pulisic to come in too. Extremely encouraging.

Kurt Zouma did not make a successful tackle in the first half vs. Man Utd.

Jose Mourinho: "In the box I would be very frustrated by Zouma. In that position Rashford always goes for his favourite foot and shot he loves the shot from that position in the box you just have to close the inside and he didn’t do it." #MUNCHE

Rudiger plays & it’s a different scoreline, that been said, Azpi was probably worse than Zouma

Genuinely wouldn't rule out Kurt Zouma being loaned out at half-time
