  • The Blues' supporters are of the opinions that the Senegalese has not been of help to their team
  • Graham Potter and his wards have not been having things rosy this term in all competitions

Chelsea faithful's have expressed their displeasure over the performance of Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly during their embarrassing defeat against Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola and his wards were superb on Sunday, 8 January, in the FA Cup third round beating the Stamford Bridge landlords 4-0 as pressure continues to pile for the manager, Potter.

Koulibaly was at fault for Man City's third goal as he gave away a penalty and fans now believe he is a downgrade compared to Antonio Rudiger.

How Koulibaly made fans angry

The Senegalese failed to close in on Phil Foden who smashed the ball home past goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga for Manchester City's third goal in the 38th minute.

Koulibaly's poor display was further compounded in the second half when he gave away the penalty after fouling Foden inside the box as Mahrez stepped forward to score the kick in the 85th minute.

According to a report on GOAL, fans are of the view that the 31-year-old is not helping Chelsea and he should leave the club.

Chelsea fans sing Tuchel’s name

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Chelsea fans were heard chanting Thomas Tuchel's name during their FA Cup hammering by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

The Blues have endured one of their worst runs in recent times under the tutelage of Graham Potter, with the west Londoners managing just one win in eight of their last fixtures.

Chelsea's most recent defeat came on Sunday, January 8, when they were demolished 4-0 by Man City in the third round of the FA Cup.

The Blues' defeat came just days after City sunk them 1-0 at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.
