The visiting Blues supporters, some of whom have become dissatisfied with the Spanaird’s lacklustre showing, booed him loudly as he left the field. However, some Chelsea supporters felt that Cucurella was treated harshly. On social media, they responded, stating that supporters shouldn’t ever jeer one of their own players.
Cucurella to blame, get him off #WhuChe

Cucurella is horrible

I think Cucurella at €65M is surely one of thee most overpriced, absurd transfers in football history. No? 🤷🏼♂️

The Chelsea fans were furious after the draw.
After their London derby match against West Ham finished in a draw, the Blues had gone three games without a Premier League victory. Four Chelsea players were singled out by supporters as being at blame for the goal the Blues gave up in their Premier League tie with West Ham. Joao Felix successfully directed Enzo Fernandez’s cross into the goal at the London Stadium as Graham Potter stared in amazement.
Felix had already scored before the opening goal, but he was offside. After the Portugal international scored the game’s first goal, Kai Havertz also defeated Lukas Fabianski, but the forward was slightly behind the Hammers defence when the linesman raised his flag.
However, the game’s momentum and course were swiftly reversed when Emerson Palmieri, a former Chelsea player, equalised following a Blues defence error in concentration. There weren’t many opportunities in the second half, but Tomas Soucek was in the centre of debate during the last 10 minutes.
The midfielder first believed he had given West Ham the victory, but Declan Rice was ruled to have been offside during the build-up. A few minutes later, Soucek used his arm to stop a shot from Conor Gallagher in the penalty area, but no spot kick was awarded, thus the score remained equal.
Following three straight clean sheets for the Blues ahead to their London derby on Saturday, defensive fragility is a surprise quality to identify with Chelsea given recent results and performances. Before Emerson pounced on Jarrod Bowen’s flick-on to equalise, Kepa Arrizabalaga had almost played 300 league minutes without giving up. Joe Cole mentioned four Chelsea players during the game’s halftime report who might have been able to stop the goal from happening.
