He plays for himself only, very stingy with the ball and have low complete passes”, “Sell him to Man Utd” – Fans wants Chelsea star to be sold in summer after worst performance in 3-2 win over Newcastle
Despite Chelsea’s 3-2 victory over Newcastle on Monday, March 11, fans were left seething over the performance of star winger Raheem Sterling, prompting calls for his departure in the upcoming summer transfer window. Mauricio Pochettino’s decision to include Sterling in the starting lineup against Newcastle further fueled the fans’ ire, with many venting their frustrations on social media platforms. Sterling’s failure to capitalize on a prime opportunity and his loss in all four of his duels compounded fans’ disappointment.
Following the match, a barrage of tweets from the club’s supporters reflected their discontent:
“The first sale of the summer has to be Sterling.”
“By far the worst player this season.”
“Offer him to Man United.”
@Ebukamachala: Without a doubt, an incredibly poor player.
@_traderh: I can no longer bear to watch him play in person.
@CFCGradders: He simply plays for himself. The manager should rein him in and make a statement. However, he won’t. Similar to against the Wolves.
@Homiebishop: That’s a grave error, sell him now.
@cfcyusaf: Dreadful, Sterling.
@AdeHimSe: He should leave immediately.
@ano1_anold: It’s time for him to enroll in Arabic classes.
The sentiment among fans was palpably one of disappointment and frustration, with many expressing a desire to see Sterling offloaded from the team. Concerns were raised about his commitment and performance, with some fans questioning his attitude and suggesting that his departure would be beneficial for the club’s future success. As the season progresses, the pressure on Sterling to deliver standout performances mounts, with fans expecting nothing short of excellence from one of the team’s key players.
