Chelsea may have secured a victory over Leicester City, but not everyone was pleased with the performance—especially not a former club legend who launched a brutal critique of Christopher Nkunku. The ex-Chelsea star didn’t mince words in his post-match outburst, heavily criticizing Nkunku’s display and calling for the club to take decisive action.
“ABSOLUTE DISGRACE! His work rate is non-existent—one of the laziest players I’ve ever seen! He plays like an academy-level forward, showing no creativity, no unpredictability, and zero ingenuity! There’s no dribbling, no incisive passing, just completely safe, risk-averse football! And honestly? Even Lukaku wasn’t this bad! Just send him to Saudi Arabia already—he has no place in this team,” the legend ranted.
Despite Chelsea securing the three points, Nkunku’s performance has dominated the post-match discussions, with fans and analysts questioning whether the French forward is meeting expectations. When he arrived at Stamford Bridge, he was seen as a marquee signing with the potential to transform Chelsea’s attack. However, injuries have disrupted his season, and now many supporters believe that his recent performances have fallen well below the level expected from a player of his caliber.
Social media quickly erupted with reactions from frustrated Chelsea fans:
@TheBlueFaithful: “Nkunku was INVISIBLE today! We had such high hopes for him, but he’s just not delivering. Maybe the legend is right?”
@CFCLoyal: “I can’t believe what I’m seeing. Is this the same Nkunku who dominated in the Bundesliga? He looks completely lost!”
@LondonisBlue: “Chelsea invested big money in Nkunku, but what are we getting in return? He needs to step up immediately!”
Nkunku’s struggles are becoming a growing concern for Chelsea, especially as the club continues to push for a strong finish to the season. The expectations on him were high, but his performances so far have raised doubts about whether he can truly thrive in the Premier League. His lack of influence on the game against Leicester has only intensified scrutiny, with some questioning if he is the right fit for Chelsea’s attacking setup.
As the pressure mounts, Nkunku will need to respond quickly. Fans and pundits alike are eager to see if he can bounce back and prove his critics wrong or if his future at Stamford Bridge is already in doubt. One thing is certain—he cannot afford to continue underperforming, or his time at Chelsea could be cut shorter than expected. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether he can regain his form and justify the faith the club placed in him when they signed him.
