Chelsea fans will find no solace on social media following the Blues’ goalless draw against London rivals Fulham in the English Premier League on Friday, February 3, 2023.
The draw follows the closing of the January transfer window, in which Chelsea were the greatest spenders, signing the most players (8), including the most expensive Premier League acquisition, Enzo Fernandez.
Following the splurge, fans may have been forgiven for expecting a much stronger performance than they had been accustomed to since the start of the 2022/23 season, when the Blues struggled for form and finished ninth.
Due to the unfortunate stalemate, Chelsea supporters were taunted on social media by supporters of the opposition, while some Blues used the occasion to criticize manager Graham Potter’s team selections.
Here are some tweets gathered by The Quest Times.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire host Frank Edoho bares his mind on Chelsea’s Cucurella
@frankedoho Enzo Fernandez is a midfield maestro! That Cucurella plays football like a looter in a riot.
@TheKingLamah Chelsea was busy in the transfer window splashing cash, going on shopping spree but chose not to sign a good striker they still sticking to Havertz.
@akaebube Our Chelsea headache continues. After buying EMZO Paracetamol.
@emenalo Sacking Tuchel was not a mistake. Replacing him with Potter was.
@Olupee Fulham had double their shots on target. At the bridge. Ridiculous
@FisayoDairo The difference between the new Number 5 and the old Number 5 is as clear as noonday and moonlight. Oh my world! Enzo the boy Fernandēz!!!
@hitler_idiamin No be by new players, see Chelsea nah
@Morris_Monye Even if Chelsea sign Microsoft, they won’t excel. Wasted.
@MaaxiAngelo João Palhinha with an excellent performance at Stamford Bridge tonight. Leads Premier League in tackles+interceptions metric by a country mile this season and joined Fulham for only £15m. Seen to price in relation to performances, a challanger for signing of the season.
@Ifeanyi_Nwak – Chelsea still starting two farmers in Mount and Gallagher after all this investment. Inyama
@PoojaMedia First half swallowed Mudryk
