The Chelsea fans’ cacophony of dissent and boos towards Mauricio Pochettino is heard both at home games and away games which is a matter of concern for the management. Also, the performance of Raheem Sterling is up for criticism.
The players became more frustrated after Raheem Sterling had failed to score from a penalty and the missed chance stirred the feeling of resentment towards the player.
The missed penalty of Sterling in the first half was even more arousing the discontent of Stamford Bridge crowd as there was a huge difference between his conversion rate from the spot and that of Cole Palmer.
The 29 year-old striker had to endure further hostility when he again missed a goal attempt not long after and the noises of disproval could be heard all around the stadium.
Despite his initial disappointment, Sterling later picked himself up and earned the appreciation of all the teammates and staff. Nevertheless, the fans were again disappointed for the unsteadiness of the team’s performance.

What is the recent speculation around Raheem Sterling at Chelsea?
Sterling’s appearance in the field has led to fans of Chelsea having differing opinions. He may be the team’s third-highest scorer of the season and relatively seldom does he miss crucial opportunities, but his bad night outs are often the subject of criticism.
The rise of Mudryk as a strong opponent of Sterling highlighted the speculation about his team position within the squad. During the time Sterling has spent at Chelsea, some fans made their criticism towards him not only inside the stadium but on the social media too.
Even though he was expected to set a good example for the younger members , his attitude on and off the pitch have been blamed by some supporters for going against the public opinion over his actions.
Moreover, in the possible event of Sterling’s departure, there are chances that the club might undergo significant changes in terms of player acquisitions and development.
As Chelsea always try to keep their competitiveness intact not only in domestic and European club competitions but also in the future, identifying and grooming young talents might be given more importance and the development to achieve overall success might be the next step.
