Chelsea supporters were left devastated and furious after their team’s 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Arsenal in the London derby. The result marked an unwanted milestone for the Blues, as they conceded their most goals in a single Premier League season since the competition’s inception in 1992/93.
The dismal performance sparked outrage among fans, who took to social media to vent their frustrations. One supporter held up a sign that read, “I don’t want your shirt. I want you to fight for ours,” while another posted, “RIP CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB 1905 – 2023. It’s not Chelsea anymore.”
The result compounded Chelsea’s miserable week, coming on the heels of their FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester City. The loss also extended their winless streak to three matches and left them ninth in the Premier League table.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino expressed his disappointment with the team’s performance, particularly their lack of competitiveness and concentration. He acknowledged that the squad had been missing key players throughout the season, but stressed that this could not be an excuse for their poor showing.
Meanwhile, Thiago Silva’s wife, Belle, appeared to take aim at the team’s performance on Twitter. She posted three emojis – see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil – which some interpreted as a suggestion that she was not permitted to speak her mind honestly. This is not the first time Belle has publicly criticized Chelsea, having previously called for Pochettino’s sacking after a loss to Wolves earlier this season.
