“STOP THE BLAME, I AM NOT THE PROBLEM”, Chelsea FLOP Captain Reece James Caution Chelsea Fans As He Expose Those Behind The Team’s Recent Failures
“That was dumb,” “worst captain at Chelsea,” and other harsh remarks are directed at Reece James by supporters following his “stupid” red card in a 4-1 loss to Newcastle.
Reece James, the captain of Chelsea, received harsh criticism from the crowd after his team lost 4-1 to Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday, November 25.Raheem Sterling tied the score for the Blues ten minutes after Alexandre Isak gave Newcastle the lead, sending the two clubs into halftime level.
But at the hour mark, goals from Joelinton and Jamaal Lascelles separated them by a minute, virtually ending the game for the Blues. The challenge facing the visitors was made more difficult when, 17 minutes from time, Gordon’s foul earned their skipper James a second yellow card.
Gordon gave the Magpies a resounding victory in the 83rd minute, and Mauricio Pochettino’s team suffered their fifth loss in 13 league games this season. James was sent off after receiving his second yellow card, and fans were furious about it. One fan tweeted, “Worst captain at Chelsea.”
One more person added:
“A captain dealt out two dumb yellow cards. That was a stupid move.”
These are some of the most popular responses on X, the former name for Twitter:
Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle United, has praised his team’s fortitude and character in their Saturday victory over Chelsea. After overcoming a string of losses in several competitions, the Magpies triumphantly resumed their winning ways.
Thanks to a superb free kick from Raheem Sterling, the Blues, who were level, were eventually deflated by three goals in a row. James’ tardy red card eventually made things worse for the visitors.Howe discussed his team and the day’s successes in an interview with Premier League Productions (via BBC): “It was a real statement of character within the squad.” We deserved to win because we truly asked the guys to stand up. Significantly positive outcomes from today. The group’s leaders, Matt Ritchie, Kieran Trippier, and Jamaal Lascelles, set the tone. They watch out that we don’t give up.
Chelsea’s next game is a league match against Brighton & Hove Albion at home on December 3, while Newcastle’s next game is a Tuesday UEFA Champions League trip to PSG.
