Watford 4-1 Chelsea: 5 Talking Points

#3 Bakayoko blasted after another poor display

Bakayoko can't believe he's being given his marching orders after a needless foul on Richarlison

An expensive flop, waste of money and a player who must be dropped immediately. These are just a few of the things that have been thrown in the Frenchman's path, after a stuttering start to his career in England.

After a performance like this one, Tiemoue Bakayoko is not helping himself nor his chances of being a long-serving player at the club either.

His passing, both over short and long distances, has been fairly inaccurate and frustratingly halts counter-attacking moves. You can almost hear fans groan once he gets on the ball, as if they already know that it's been lost.

He was given his marching orders after two needless fouls in the space of five minutes, which not only reflects poorly on his discipline but equally, on his footballing intelligence - knowing fully well that he's just been booked, perhaps avoiding diving into challenges?

If you watch replays of both fouls, you could very well argue that the pair were soft and self-inflicted after Watford continually pressed him whenever he had possession. It comes with the territory though and the 23-year-old's carelessness cost him big time here.

Seen as a £40 million upgrade on the departing Nemanja Matic, Bakayoko has plenty of potential to fulfil but appears to be a confidence player, one that perhaps needs time away from the spotlight to reflect and reassess where he must improve in future.
