[Saba Sports News] Chelsea fans took to social
media with a wave of criticism following their loss in the EFL Cup. Prior to
the final, both Chelsea and Liverpool had released their line-up. Liverpool,
facing multiple injuries to their key players, fielded a young team, which
boosted the confidence of many Chelsea fans. However, the match resulted in a
surprising outcome as Liverpool defeated Chelsea in overtime. The unexpected
loss prompted a large number of angry fans to leave critical remarks on
Chelsea’s social media platforms. Over 10,000 comments expressing
disappointment and frustration have been recorded so far. Comments included
statements such as “The most embarrassing result in team history, nothing
is worse than this,” “How did you lose to Liverpool U21?” and
“Why doesn’t Mauricio Pochettino leave?”. Doubts and criticisms have
been ongoing since Pochettino took over as Chelsea’s boss from Todd Boehly. One
of the main reasons for the skepticism is Chelsea’s perceived failure to make
effective use of their significant financial investments. Despite spending
large sums of money, the team has struggled to achieve notable success, with a
lackluster performance that has even seen them struggle to secure a place in
the top 10 of the league standings.
