Raheem Sterling’s Struggles Continue As Chelsea Fans Boo Englishman After Poor FA Cup Performance

• Raheem Sterling was booed by Chelsea fans after he blasted a freekick well wide in the second half
• The Englishman had a penalty saved, got in the way of a teammate's shot and missed a freekick
• Chelsea beat Leicester 4-2 in the quarter-final of the FA Cup to progress to the tournament's semi-final

Raheem Sterling is having a day to forget in the colours of Chelsea.

The English international’s performance for the Blues in the FA Cup fixture against Leicester has been so poor that even his own fans have begun to boo him.

The former Man City player had a chance to give his side a two-goal lead in the 26th minute when he was brought down in the box. Sterling stepped up to take the kick but didn’t look comfortable at any stage of it, and the keeper pushed away his tame effort.

Things didn’t get easier for the England international as he missed another chance to double his side’s lead and then got in the way of a teammate's shot, which was goalward-bound.

He did grab an assist in the half, setting up Cole Palmer’s goal.

Sterling’s atrocious freekick attempt

If Sterling had hoped his bad luck would end in the first half, he would have been sadly mistaken.

Chelsea were given a freekick on the edge of the box when Callum Doyle brought down Nicolas Jackson.

Despite missing the penalty in the first half, Sterling took over freekick duties and blasted it horribly wide. Even the commentators joked that the rugby stadium Twickenham was down the road from Stamford Bridge.

Fans turn on Sterling

Naturally, his performance didn’t sit well with supporters, as those in the stadium and those watching at home, turned on the Englishman.

@thisisntreaal:

Raheem Sterling has played with top footballers to have such low football IQ, runs into players, doesn’t know how to finish, and has a big enough ego to take a pen off someone who hasn’t missed a single pen all season.

@UtdEIIis:

“This Raheem Sterling performance is hands down the worst I’ve ever seen in my life.”

@LFCLaurie:

”This Sterling performance is up there with one of the worst I've seen. Imagine getting booed after taking a freekick. 😭😭”

Sterling among players Chelsea should sell

Todd Boehly has bought a lot of players since taking over Chelsea, but not all their signings have worked out.

The Blues have invested billions into signings, and completely overhauled the team since Thomas Tuchel left.
