Chelsea suffered a third consecutive defeat in all competitions as we lost 1-0 at Newcastle United on Saturday.
Chelsea stars Kalidou Koulibaly and Cesar Azpilicueta werw Chelsea’s worst players in the defeat against Newcastle United on Saturday.
Goal’s verdict on Azpilicueta: “The Spanish veteran looked out of his depth for spells in this game, with the Magpies putting him under pressure when they attacked down their left wing.
“He was too slow and easily exposed, leaving Potter no choice but to take him off at half-time to bring on Christian Pulisic. The Blues coach will be desperate to replace the club captain in the near future.”
On Koulibaly: “Another disappointing display from the centre-back, even though he looked good at the start of the match. He was awful for the goal as he did nothing to stop Miguel Almiron on his run towards Chelsea’s goal.
“The centre-back made it easy for the attacker, offering a lame attempt to stop him before Willock pounced and sent his shot past Mendy from the edge of the box. Koulibaly was too slow to react on many occasions, and it resulted in him getting booked late on for a silly foul.”
