The Blues recorded a 2-0 home win over Newcastle United on Monday night, with Olivier Giroud and Timo Werner both on the scoresheet at Stamford Bridge.

Thomas Tuchel’s side now sit fourth in the Premier League table after earning another three points.

Chelsea host Southampton this weekend in their next league match, before a Champions League last 16 first leg tie with Atletico Madrid.

It’s perhaps nice that Chelsea players are going under the radar right now, as the team have surged up the table to fourth and the minimum target now has to be a top four finish.

Here are some Chelsea fans venting their frustration towards Shearer:
