Chelsea fans have slammed the performance of Saul Niguez following their 3-3 draw at Zenit Saint-Petersburg in the 2021-22 UEFA Champions League.Despite Chelsea being without three central midfielders - Mateo Kovacic, N'Golo Kante and Jorginho - manager Thomas Tuchel started Niguez at left-wing-back. The ploy, though, did not work, and the 27-year-old loanee had to be subbed off at the 76th-minute mark.Chelsea fans were not impressed by Niguez's performance, as he failed to make the most of a rare start. The 27-year-old midfielder might just have blown his chance to feature regularly at Stamford Bridge. Here are some of the best tweets from frustrated Blues fans:Jonez roberto@QuincyMwansa@CFC_Raf True we have had enough of him1:01 AM · Dec 9, 20211@CFC_Raf True we have had enough of himNqobi@NqobizithaNdl12@Ore_Yusuf Liverpool showed up at San Siro with a midfield of Tyler Morton, Ox and Minamano and bossed it.
