Chelsea have just lost 1-0 to West Ham, in what was probably their worst game of the season.
Accordingly, fans on social media weren’t too happy with the performance of most of the players, and particularly with Frank Lampard’s decision to pick some of them.
Almost nobody from the starting XI escaped blame after a dire showing. The defence was soft in conceding, and more importantly did nothing to move the ball forward urgently.
The midfield created little, and crumbled as Lampard took off Jorginho to add attacking threat.
The front players who started were all terrible, apart from Christian Pulisic, who was probably the only player to escape without major maluses to their reputation.
As ever, we’ve grabbed a Tweet that sums up (some) of our feelings about each player and how they performed today. You can see them all embedded below.
Kepa:
Only positive from that game was the improvement from Kepa. Saved that from being even more embarrassing

Zouma:
Zouma's body language when he's about to pass tells you exactly where he's going to play the ball. It bothers me.

Tomori:
Tomori can you push forward more and stop passing the ball sideways ?

Kovacic:
Kovacic beats the press every time then dribbles into the opposition.

Jorginho:
Declan Rice ran Chelsea’s “best midfield in the world ragged”. But I’m to believe twitter that he’s not good enough. Bullied Jorginho (yanked as per), then Kovacic, then Kante.

Pulisic:
The only creative attacking player we have is Pulisic. Just imagine that.
