“Simply Horrible”, “You've Caused Us Enough”

Chelsea fans have expressed their disappointment with the defender's performance Tosin Adarabioyo after the defeat to Sunderland in the Premier League. The Blues suffered a shock 2-1 defeat in front of their home fans, their first defeat in five matches.

Enzo Maresca showed the depth of his squad by making eight changes to the Blues XI for Sunderland's visit to Stamford Bridge. Experienced centre-back Adarabioyo was one of those dropped to the bench, with teenage sensation Josh Acheampong starting in his place.

Maresca introduced ex-Fulham Adarabioyo in place of the impressive Acheampong in the 76th minute to bolster the backline with his experience. The 28-year-old was directly involved in what turned out to be Sunderland's winner as he was easily pinned by Brian Brobbey, who set up the late strike.

Chelsea fans were unhappy with Tosin Adarabioyo's contribution, with some of them taking to X to voice their grievances. One fan called the centre-back “pathetic” and “horrible”.

Another fan said Tosin replaced Acheampong.

A fan explained why Tosin was to blame for the goal his team conceded.

Another fan referred to the defender as a fraud.

One fan pointed out that they sensed the danger immediately presented it.

One fan made a post showing that he wanted the defender gone from the club.

Another fan pointed out that Tosin's supposed aerial ability is overrated and he shouldn't be playing.

One fan has criticized the quality of the defender, highlighting his free transfer.

Another fan stated that they don't want him to play any more games.

Tosin Adarabioyo made his eighth appearance of the season Chelsea as they suffered a shock defeat at home. The centre-back has started four times for the Blues in the league this season following Levi Colwill's knee injury in the summer.

Adarabioyo has won two of the four aerial duels in his 14 minutes of action for the Maresca team and has completed 88% of his passes. He made an expenditure and a recovery, and earned his only tackle of the match.
