Chelsea’s turbulent season took another huge blow at Craven Cottage as a 2–1 defeat to Fulham triggered fury among travelling supporters. Fans shared their frustrations as the match was marred by ill discipline, defensive lapses, and missed chances, which ended with chants aimed at the club’s hierarchy and growing anger toward individual performances. The loss came on a night when Chelsea again struggled to keep control. Marc Cucurella’s first-half red card left the visitors chasing the game. Fulham made their numerical advantage count. While Liam Delap briefly restored hope with his first Premier League goal for the club, the evening ended in frustration. One player, however, became the main focus of fan backlash, and it was none other than Pedro Neto.
Chelsea’s defeat to Fulham sparks backlash toward Pedro Neto
Pedro Neto found himself at the center of supporters’ anger following another difficult game. The Portuguese winger has endured a challenging run of form. Social media reaction was swift and unforgiving as fans questioned his role in the starting lineup.“Neto is so useless bro,” one supporter wrote on X. Another added, “Garnacho and Estavao should start instead of Neto and Palmer.” The criticism continued to mount as frustrations spilled across timelines. “I don’t understand how Pedro Neto has 0 skill moves, like not one time have I ever seen him skill past a player. I pray Rosenior moves on from him,” another post read.Others took an even harsher tone. “You’re embarrassing. Get Tosin and Neto out of my club,” a fan wrote. Another summed up the mood with, “It’s always gonna be defeat as far as Neto plays in Chelsea. Never seen a winger that can’t beat 1 defender.”On the pitch, Chelsea showed brief resolve. Raul Jimenez had given Fulham the lead early in the second half before Neto’s corner caused chaos in the box, leading to Delap’s equalizer. Harry Wilson’s late winner ensured the frustration lingered long after full-time.
Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea era begins with a devastating loss
The match also served as an unwanted introduction for new head coach Liam Rosenior, who watched from the stands. He inherits a side with one win in nine league matches and a discipline problem that continues to define Chelsea’s campaign. Despite the anger, there remains a sense of transition around the club. Former Chelsea winger Paul Canoville urged unity following Rosenior’s appointment. “Liam Rosenior is a quality coach who knows the game inside out, and that’s what matters most,” Canoville said. “So yes, it is a massive moment for the club, for London, for every young person dreaming big. But right now? Let’s back Liam, give him what he needs, and let the man do his work.”Now, Chelsea’s problems feel big and unresolved. The team must show brilliance with Rosenior in a new dawn.Also Read: Freddie Freeman and Chelsea Freeman combined net worth: MLB star earnings, business work, and their life together
