Thiago Silva lashes out at fan, who wanted him out

Thiago Silva expressed his fury with Chelsea fans, who suggested the Brazilian should be dropped in favor of Mauricio Pochettino’s preferred formation.

The 38-year-old played the whole 90 minutes in the 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest on Saturday and many were left dissatisfied with his performance.

However, Silva believes that the criticism is unjust and was quick to respond via social media.

“If you look closely at the game, we are playing with a line of four, my friend,” he wrote.

“But there’s no problem in assuming I’m also responsible for the defeat. Put the pressure on me. No problem yesterday.”

So far Chelsea have played 3-4-3 with Pochettino with Silva, Levi Colwill and Axel Disasi at the back.

However, things haven’t gone to plan so far with the Blues only managing to grab 4 points out of possible 9.
