'Absolutely useless' - Chelsea fans lay into one player after dismal Sheffield United defeat

It has been a woeful day at the office for Chelsea.

The Blues, third in the Premier League table at the start of the day, slumped to a disappointing 3-0 defeat away at Sheffield United.

London rivals Tottenham struggled at Bramall Lane last week, and Chelsea fared no better, turning in a disastrous performance, opening the door for both Manchester United and Leicester City to move above them in the table on Sunday.

Without a Premier League goal all season - although he has had two disallowed by VAR - David McGoldrick broke his duck with a double, one in each half, with an Oli McBurnie header making it 2-0.

Chelsea could do little to pull themselves back into the match, with Frank Lampard set to have some big questions to answer in his first season in charge.

Why Frank Lampard started Billy Gilmour over Jorginho

Lampard has faced a number of questions of late about Jorginho's position in the team, with the Italian struggling to make it into the starting lineup.

The Italian was, however, given a starting berth at Bramall Lane, but the Blues supporters may be wishing he had been elft on the bench after a poor performance.

He was the one player who stood out for criticism from the Blues supporters on Tiwtter.

Jorginho has been linked with a move to Juventus, to team up with former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri once more.

And by the looks of them, the Chelsea fanbase would be more than happy to see him go after that display.
