“Stinking out the place lately”, “Finally benched I'm crying” - Chelsea fans react as duo dropped to the bench for Ipswich Town clash
Fans took to X to express their reactions after Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca dropped two regular starters, Robert Sanchez and Nicolas Jackson, for their clash against Ipswich Town. The two teams are facing off in the Premier League at Portman Road.
Chelsea have endured disappointing results in their last two league matches. They were held to a goalless stalemate at Goodison Park by Everton on December 22 and suffered a defeat to London counterparts Fulham on Boxing Day.
After they dropped crucial points in both matches, they now sit in the fourth position on the league table, having been in second place for some weeks.
Chelsea’s shot stopper Robert Sanchez and striker Nicolas Jackson have both been included in the starting lineup in all the Blues league matches this season, barring the game against Southampton. Both players were unused substitutes against the Saints as Chelsea cruised to a 5-1 victory at the St. Mary stadium.
