Chelsea Fans Already Turn on Summer Signing Tosin Adarabioyo After Manchester City Defeat
Tosin Adarabioyo’s Chelsea career has gotten off to a rocky start, with fans already questioning his ability to make an impact at Stamford Bridge. The 26-year-old defender was at fault for Manchester City’s first goal in Saturday’s 4-2 defeat, gifting possession away before a penalty was awarded.
On social media, fans were quick to criticize Adarabioyo, with many expressing disappointment in his performance. "Lmao you ‘nerds’ told me Tosin is a better passer than Chalobah," wrote one fan. "[He] can’t pass the ball out of the back and then leads to a penalty." Another fan added, "See there’s a reason why he was still at Fulham at the big age of 26."
Adarabioyo’s slow movement and decision-making were also highlighted by fans, with one fan stating, "For someone who plays in the Premier League, Tosin Adarabioyo is too slow not just in his movement but in his thinking as well." Another fan questioned the signing, asking, "What exactly did Chelsea see in Tosin Adarabioyo that was an improvement on what they already had? The guy is as mid as they come."
Chelsea fans will be hoping for an improvement from Adarabioyo in the upcoming Premier League campaign, which begins with a tough test against Manchester City in just over two weeks. The Blues will need all hands on deck if they’re to challenge for a top-four finish, and Adarabioyo will need to step up his game if he’s to prove his doubters wrong.
