Jadon Sancho’s promising start at Chelsea is rapidly unravelling, with supporters voicing their frustration following his lacklustre performance in the FA Cup defeat to Brighton.

The winger, who was once seen as revitalised after his struggles at Manchester United, has managed just one assist in his last nine games, leaving fans questioning his role in the squad.

Sancho’s failure to make any significant attacking or defensive impact against Brighton has only intensified the criticism. Many Chelsea fans now echo the same sentiments once expressed by Manchester United supporters, branding him a “luxury player” who contributes little on the pitch.

“Sancho is honestly just a luxury player. He doesn’t put right-backs under pressure. Mudryk would go at defenders and beat them,” one frustrated fan commented, drawing comparisons with his more aggressive teammate.

Others were even harsher in their assessments, with one supporter declaring, “Overrated. Chelsea must send him back to United,” while another added, “Sancho offering absolutely zilch. Don’t think there’d be a difference if he wasn’t on the pitch.”

As Chelsea’s season continues, questions are mounting over whether Sancho can rediscover his form or if his time at Stamford Bridge will mirror his disappointing spell at Old Trafford.
