Following their poorest performance in a 3-2 victory against Newcastle, fans want Chelsea’s star sold in the summer.
Following Chelsea’s narrow 3-2 victory over Newcastle on Monday, March 11, a whirlwind of discontent swept through the fanbase, primarily aimed at star winger Raheem Sterling. Despite the win, supporters were left seething over Sterling’s lackluster performance, with calls intensifying for the club to part ways with him come summertime.
Mauricio Pochettino’s controversial decision to include Sterling in the starting lineup against Newcastle only served to stoke the flames of frustration among the faithful. Venting their ire across social media platforms, fans minced no words in expressing their disappointment. Sterling’s squandered opportunities and dismal performance in duels left many questioning his place on the team.
The aftermath of the match saw a deluge of tweets lambasting Sterling’s display:
“The first order of business this summer should be offloading Sterling.”
“Easily the poorest performer this season.”
“Why not offer him to Man United?”
@Ebukamachala: “No doubt about it, Sterling’s form has been abysmal.”
@_traderh: “I can’t bear to watch him live anymore.”
@CFCGradders: “He’s solely focused on himself. The manager needs to rein him in, but it seems unlikely. Just like against the wolves.”
@Homiebishop: “It’s a grave error, sell him immediately.”
@cfcyusaf: “That was abysmal, Sterling.”
@AdeHimSe: “He should be gone yesterday.”
@ano1_anold: “Perhaps it’s time for him to consider Arabic lessons.”
The chorus of dissatisfaction underscores the growing sentiment among fans that Sterling’s tenure at Chelsea may be nearing its end, with demands for decisive action reverberating throughout the supporter base.
