Chelsea fans have expressed anger towards manager Thomas Tuchel after the Blues lost 2-1 to Southampton on Tuesday.
Raheem Sterling's opening goal was cancelled out by Romeo Lavia before Adam Armstrong's first goal in nine months put the Saints ahead, and the forward's strike was enough to secure all three points as Chelsea struggled to create chances whilst chasing the game.
Supporters took to Twitter to criticise Tuchel, who was down before and after the game regarding injuries to his squad and their ability to compete.
One fan criticised Tuchel's comments after the defeat, posting: 'Tuchel needs to stop moaning and sort the mess out, looks like he’s losing the players fast.'
Chelsea have spent well over £150million this transfer window and don't look like slowing down any time soon, with Wesley Fofana set to be announced imminently and the club going in for RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol.
The Blues are however yet to sign a striker after the departure of Romelu Lukaku, and many fans have pointed the blame towards the German.
'Chelsea are going backwards, no cohesion no pattern, transfer window, still no number 9, Tuchel is in trouble!!' posted one supporter.
'Another abysmal pathetic lackluster display, Tuchel full of ridiculous excuses, it’s not just this season but since the new year, home form shocking.'
'Sign a damn striker!' added another.
Several others questioned his future at the club, with some even calling for his job to come into question.
One supported posted: 'Tuchel has until the World Cup break to fix this. Blank checkbook all summer and chooses not to sign a new midfielder or some competent forwards.
'Let's go sign another defender while we’re at it. He’s not immune to criticism and his job should be under pressure at the very least.'
'What Chelsea need in this transfer window is a new manager. Tuchel is destroying the squad - forwards come and go - he doesn't improve any of them,' said another.
'If [Roman] Abramovich was still the owner of Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel will not finish the season at this football club,' added a third.
Chelsea have picked up seven points from their opening five games of the season, and sit eighth in the table with teams around them having games in hand.
They're five points behind leaders Arsenal, who have played a game less, and are already in a fight if they want to challenge for the Premier League title this season.
Some supporters have backed him to turn the situation around, but acknowledged something needs to change.
'Tuchel needs to fix things up before things get messy,' said one user.
Another said: 'I still think Tuchel can turn this around but he needs to switch up and be ruthless. I think he’ll have time though because [Todd] Boehly is obviously planning on him being here long-term.'
Chelsea face West Ham in a London derby on Saturday.

True, but where did Arsenal finish at the end of the season.
i know they didn't finish top 4 but what I'm saying is that it's never too late for Chelsea, Chelsea only played five games, remember this coach helped Chelsea with everything Chelsea passed through last season both interns of sanctioned and COVID-19 and injuries, he managed Chelsea

sometimes people don't know what to complain about.. the coach is doing his best.. and Chelsea need a number 9. at least encourage him to get a strike as soon as possible...
Broja is a forward and he still start on the bunch and Kai usuless is not a forward and plays every match with no goal, so yah the coach is to be blame and should be let go, before it get worse.

i could remember that Arsenal lost three straight matches last season at the opening league but today they're praising their coach.. Chelsea should be calming down, Chelsea played W2, D1, L2, but still people are complaining without knowing that frustration is more dangerous than corporation, when you frustrate the coach he will do worst instead of best

I think the loss was something you could blame Tuchel quite much for yesterday but can not say that I have had that feeling for any of the earlier games this season yet.

He refused to sign goal scoring Ronaldo, now he wants Neymar He continues to waste our money, who knows if Todd will invest like this again next season
Is tuchel the one exactly signing? Or todd or both? He is definitely part of the blame, but stop pointing wrong fingers at a great coach

I see no reason why the coach had to sell Werner to buy Starling who is nothing but waste of resources to the club,the team before was indeed solid which only need a little adjustment in the midfield somebody better to jorjinho who is becoming weaker day by day,with somebody to replace Rudiga and a very sharp forward to replace Lukaku since he didn't make any marks

I know Tuchel is no good. He won UCL after Lampard have done all the job. Since he came he keep piling unambitious star without any aspirations. By Jan 2023 he will be gone. Mark my words

I don't understand Tuchel persistence on Havertz. The guy is not doing well but he plays him every time when there are other competent players on the bench.

The lost to Southampton yesterday was completely Thomas Tuchel's fault. poor game plan and lack of tactics. Why should he keep Broja on the bench and continue to play Kai Harvtze who can't get one attempt at goal in five matches? The coach should admit this failure and change gear. Buy a natural attacker as there are many competitions line up and coming in quick succession
