Chelsea’s Benoit Badiashile put in a “dreadful” performance during yesterday’s heavy loss away at Liverpool.
That is according to talkSPORT pundit Gabriel Agbonlahor.
Despite going into last night’s match in some good form, Chelsea were thrashed 4-1 by Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League.
The bad news is that the clubs meet again on 25 February in the Carabao Cup final, too.
It was a really poor evening for most of Chelsea’s players, including Benoit Badiashile.
The 22-year-old defender was bullied against Liverpool and made some notable mistakes in a really sloppy display.
Agbonlahor destroyed the £35m centre-back (Sky Sports) after his performance at Liverpool.
“Chelsea look like they don’t care if they lose. That was what I got from last night. They were that bad that they didn’t look like they cared about losing,” Agbonlahor told talkSPORT (6:09am, 1 February).
“Badiashile, the centre-half, he probably had the worst centre-half performance I’ve seen in the Premier League in the last two seasons. He was dreadful.”
Benoit Badiashile poor against Liverpool
We worry for Badiashile’s spot in starting line-up based off the latest performance in midweek.
Speaking via talkSPORT last night, Jamie O’Hara labelled Badiashile as “nowhere near good enough” following the Liverpool defeat.
The left-footed centre-half excelled during his first few months as a Chelsea player at the start of 2023, but he’s not looked like the same player since returning from a hamstring injury.
Our feeling is that he’s drastically slipping down the centre-back pecking order at Stamford Bridge.
