Chelsea have just been beaten 1-0 at home by Bournemouth.
That’s correct, you’re reading that right. Frank Lampard’s Blues were absolutely dire in the first half, and in the second they pushed forward a little more, only to be caught out by a soft goal from Dan Gosling.
After losses to West Ham and Everton in recent weeks, this was the kind of result we could ill afford, and fans on social media went into total meltdown. As always, we’ve collected some of the reaction to sum up what we thought of each player’s individual performance.
As you can imagine, people weren’t very kind. They laid into the players without remorse, with one fan saying that Willian is playing “like Alexis Sanchez at the moment.”
Can there be a more scathing insult than that right now? It’s all rather worrying.

Mount:
How Lampard allowed Mason Mount play the 90mins still baffles me… Are you one major General that I know of?

Willian kills an attack. He’s basically Alexis Sanchez at the moment.
