Chelsea secured an important victory over Leicester City, but the win was overshadowed by harsh criticism from a club legend who did not hold back in his assessment of Christopher Nkunku’s performance.
The former Chelsea star delivered a scathing post-match rant, lambasting Nkunku’s contribution and calling for the club to take immediate action.
In a brutal takedown, the ex-Chelsea player labeled Nkunku’s display as “useless,” expressing his frustration over the Frenchman’s lack of impact on the pitch.
“AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE! His work rate is completely nonexistent—he’s one of the laziest players I have ever watched!
He plays at an academy level, lacking any sort of creativity or unpredictability! There is no dribbling, no incisive passing, nothing that suggests he can change a game!His football is purely risk-averse.
And let’s be honest—even Lukaku was never this bad! Just send him to Saudi Arabia already—he has no place at Chelsea,” the furious legend ranted.
Despite Chelsea securing the win, Nkunku’s underwhelming display has become the main talking point among fans and pundits.
Many supporters have started to question whether he is truly living up to the high expectations set for him upon his arrival at Stamford Bridge.
The Frenchman joined Chelsea with significant promise, but injuries have hampered his season, preventing him from consistently showcasing his best form.
However, recent performances have left fans disappointed, with some beginning to doubt whether he can turn things around.
Social media was abuzz with reactions from Chelsea fans who were similarly unimpressed with Nkunku’s latest performance:
• @TheBlueFaithful: “Nkunku was absolutely 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 the Bundesliga? He looks completely lost!”
• @LondonisBlue: “Chelsea invested heavily in Nkunku, yet we’re seeing no return on investment. He needs to step up—fast!”
With Chelsea still in pursuit of a strong finish to the season, Nkunku will find himself under intense scrutiny in the coming weeks.
The pressure is mounting, and the Frenchman will have to deliver performances that prove his critics wrong.
The question now is whether he can rediscover his best form and show why Chelsea brought him to the club, or if this is an early sign that his time at Stamford Bridge could be shorter than expected.
One thing is certain—Nkunku must respond quickly to the mounting criticism, or he risks losing the faith of both the supporters and the club.
The coming fixtures could be crucial in determining his long-term future at Chelsea.
