Chelsea fans are calling for defender Tosin Adarabioyo to be dropped from the starting lineup following his performance in the recent 2-1 defeat to Liverpool. Adarabioyo, who joined Chelsea on a free transfer, faced criticism for lacking the pace and focus needed against Liverpool’s intense style of play, sparking debate among the Chelsea faithful.
Several fans voiced their concerns online, pointing to Adarabioyo’s suitability for games against more physical and aggressive opponents. Twitter user GreenTurf tweeted, “Tosin Adarabioyo is NOT the man to play vs Liverpool. He can still be solid against certain teams but NOT aggressive teams.” Similarly, Odugwu Jeffrey shared, “He performed below par. Badiashile was even better.”
Despite the wave of criticism, some supporters offered a more balanced perspective. Care Free remarked, “He’s a free transfer on a low wage, he’s not supposed to bench anyone immediately.” Others highlighted that, as a recent acquisition, Adarabioyo might still need time to adjust to Chelsea’s system and demands.
With a challenging Premier League fixture against Newcastle United this Saturday, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has a decision to make, especially with Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella available again after serving suspensions. Whether Maresca will heed fan calls and sideline Adarabioyo remains to be seen, but the return of key defensive options may provide Chelsea with the defensive boost needed against a tough Newcastle side.
