A selection of Chelsea FC fans have expressed their anger towards Emerson, who had a forgettable Premier League game against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Emerson started in the left wing-back position for the second game on the bounce but he struggled from the off with Reiss Nelson clearly getting the better of him on a number of occasions.
Ultimately, he was also responsible for the opening Gunners goal where he was clearly ball watching from a corner as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang came from behind and scored with a header past Kepa Arrizabalaga.
The 25-year-old continued for another 20 minutes on the field following Aubameyang’s strike but Lampard eventually decided to revert to a traditional 4-2-3-1 formation with him getting the axe.
His replacement Jorginho put up an assured performance in the midfield and although he was fortunate to escape a red card, he made the difference with the key equaliser in the 83rd minute following Bernd Leno’s poor goalkeeping.
Chelsea FC completed the late comeback with a Tammy Abraham winner four minutes later but there were some fans, who were disappointed with Emerson during and after the game.
Twitter Reactions:
With the transfer window set to open this week, Chelsea FC are bound to move for another left-sided defender and it remains to be seen whether one of Marcos Alonso or Emerson head through the exit door to compensate for the new signing.
