Furious Chelsea fans have slammed their side on social media following the Blues' humiliating 4-0 pre-season defeat to Arsenal in the Florida Cup.
The Gunners ripped Thomas Tuchel's men apart in both halves thanks to goals from Gabriel Jesus, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Albert Sambi Lokonga, laying down a marker to their top four rivals.
Chelsea's result and performance has has prompted fans to question whether the club is suitably prepared for the new campaign, which kicks off in less than a fortnight.
One fan described the performance on Twitter as the 'most embarrassing football' he had 'ever watched from Chelsea', whilst a second asked if the Premier League could 'postpone the start of the league' as the Blues are 'not ready'.
Another supporter said: 'Season starts in two weeks and we look useless up front. Whether you like him or not, Ronaldo will guarantee goals, time to get him in before the first game of the season.'
The Manchester United forward has been linked with a potential move to Chelsea since handing in a transfer request at Old Trafford, although Blues interest has waned in recent weeks.
Meanwhile, Arsenal fans basked in yet another convincing pre-season victory, delighted to see their side build up a positive run of form ahead of the new campaign.
The Gunners narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification last season but have since strengthened with Man City duo Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, as well as Fabio Vieira, Marquinhos and Matt Turner.
After Mikel Arteta's new-look side made light work of Chelsea, fans poured on to social media to laud the performance.
A first Gunners fan said: 'Comfortable, confident display. It's pre-season, but still, a great performance.
'Relentless pressing in that Florida heat and humidity is impressive.'
Another wrote: 'I know it's only pre-season but we're looking unreal.'
Even ex-Crystal Palace and Everton forward Yannick Bolasie sung Arsenal's praises by extolling their line-up.
The Gunners next pre-season challenge is the Emirates Cup final against Sevilla on Saturday, while Chelsea face Udinese on Friday.

I'm a Barcelona and I've watched Isak play in laliga and I can say that he's gifted, he will fit Chelsea style but tuchel is busy looking for big names sign Isak for about 65 million and he'll provide goals, large number of goals for the team

If Ronaldo at his age dominated younger players at the EPL last season and score 24 goals with the low form of man united last season, the wat he can do if Chelsea are in good form ,

Tuchel please do something about goal scoring.Thete is no goal machine in this group of forwards you have now no matter how you tinker with it.Lukaku failed last season .CR7 may deliver cos he wants to win always.

we have said before unless Chelsea finds a natural striker the upcoming season will be worse than last season.Let Chelsea bite the bullet and negotiate a reasonable aggrement with CR7 before it is too late.

Good morning guys why wouldn't we sign Cristiano Ronaldo

The Tuchel's players are playing like they're not happy with him. Could it be because of his refusal to sign Cr7? He might be losing his job if we don't sign Cr7 and then we ain't able to score goals in the season. Cr7 has his flaws but what he brings to the table outweighs his flaws. I'm beginning to dislike Tuchel! and from this outing vs Arsenal, I saw a Chelsea team playing just the way they play when they ain't satisfied with their manager. Go get Cr7 now and brighten the mood in the club! Cr7 is a passionate hardworker who is always hungry for success! That side of him is just what we need right now! Go get him Tuchel or loss your job eventually.

Truth be told! Chelsea must stop relying on Kai Havertz, Werner, Pilisic Ziyetch and Udou for sure there are average players who can't deliver. We urgently need Ronaldo Cr7 and Pau Torres
they are average players

Chalobah and Saar they ain’t good enough….for Chelsea And we can only play offensive football if we play 4 3 3 formation, that’s what he tried to do last night but our players ain’t used to the formation… that’s why he needs he own players
I understand. all is well

guys everything is not defender in football that's what most people don't know . if you attack well you'll know you don't need much defender.even when they attack you it'll be once a while and beside the midfield will cover up and the one you have at the back will be able to do it . look at man city . they attack Liverpool too they attack. so everything is not defend, if you keep buying defenders , honestly you'll be playing defensive game only and the front won't make sense like it was said in the article

why is everyone shouting Sign RONALDO??? the qstn is do we need Ronaldo? or we need to change our system of play? Man City played almost all games last season without a real striker and we can all see the numbers of goals! Are we saying HAVERTZ MOUNT STERLING WERNER can't score over 50 PL goals combined with good tactics???? Guys reason am well!!! You need to get ball to the striker and leave him to deliver, then we will know who to blame but are this team playing ball up front or just passing ball at the back??? It's not really a striker we need, it's the tactics to utilize our available resources and deliver upfront..
you're just talking nonsense. bro you can't compare city players to yours . Chelsea need striker and midfielder thY will create that's it . stop compare your team to others . what others did may favor them and not favor you . so get the solution to where it needed. that's it

and that's why most of ur winnings games is 1:0 2:0 . unless you're playing very low team that's when u score much . cause striker needed . well I'm just saying , because I know some Chelsea fans will turn this to fight like that . but anyway for the Chelsea fans who understand me better 👍

It’s the only logical solution.. Chelsea hasn’t had a great forward since Drogba.. honestly.. the rest are all flops.. want me to name them ?? I don’t need to .. Look at your Chelsea broken hearts in signing anyone worthwhile.. The money wasted on Flop after flop..Attackers don’t work well with the midfield.. better make a move quick.. If you don’t forever hold your peace.
I think Diego Costa was a good striker
