Credit: Imago Sat 27 December 2025 20:30, UK Benoit Badiashile faced the wrath of the Chelsea fans after a terrible moment in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa.Enzo Maresca has faced uncertainty over his defenders this season following Levi Colwill’s anterior cruciate ligament injury.The Frenchman was chosen to start against Villa, and gave away the ball poorly in the build-up to Ollie Watkins‘ equaliser, with the striker later finding the winner with a header.Tosin Adarabioyo has faced massive criticism this season, too, with Chelsea‘s defensive problems continuing to curtail any hopes of a title challenge.Even the mainstay in the centre of the defence, Trevor Chalobah, has struggled to produce consistent performances.Chelsea fans rip into Benoit BadiashileVilla did not even have a shot in what was a dominant first half from Chelsea. Pathetic player this one.— Moturi Sagini (@MoturiHosea) December 27, 2025 View Tweet Chelsea fans were raging at the centre-back, who one fan called “pathetic” after his mistake.There are no difference between chalobah, Badiashile and Tosin none of them is better than the other They are all terrible— ACE (@AceofNaija) December 27, 2025 View Tweet If you want to understand everything wrong at Chelsea football club – this second half against Aston Villa is basically it.
An inept defender (Badiashile) signed by inept sporting directors who are also forcing a terrible rotation policy using second rate players.— Paul Chelsea (@CFCBlueTomorrow) December 27, 2025 View Tweet Another begged Badiashile to “leave my club” with others following suit and dubbing him “one of the worst defenders we’ve ever employed”.Sanchez did all he could,Badiashile with another bozo moment. Totally unacceptable and unnecessary— OB (@CFC_OBED) December 27, 2025 View Tweet We need to leave Badiashile in 2025.
Genuinely one of the worst defenders we’ve ever employed— 🎬N (@Nino12x) December 27, 2025 View Tweet Said it before and I’ll say it again, Badiashile should never put on a Chelsea shirt again. Won his contract in a cereal box, simples— Ben Austen (@benstonesfc1) December 27, 2025 View Tweet One X user described the “terrible” pass as a “bozo moment”, which was “totally unacceptable and unnecessary”.Chelsea have serious issues at the backAs one Chelsea fan pointed out, Tosin, Badiashile and Chalobah have all flattered to deceive for the Blues this season.The loss of Colwill has left Maresca in a serious bind when it comes to the centre of his defence, but decisions made above him have had dramatic consequences, too.
