Fans took to social media to criticize Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after his dismal performance on Thursday night against Manchester City.
Chris Sutton, co-commentator on BBC 5 Live, was equally disappointed with Aubameyang’s performance.
He said: ‘I thought Aubameyang was hopeless indeed, he offered very little. Aubameyang’s substitution is really revealing, it’s embarrassing. They have taken it and rightly so.
Fans were also quick to react to Potter’s decision, taking to social media to say that Aubameyang’s career was over.
Aubameyang started on the bench in Chelsea’s tie against Manchester City, but came onto the pitch after five minutes when Raheem Sterling had to go off with an injury.
Chelsea boss Graham Potter was not impressed with the 33-year-old’s performance.
One fan wrote: ‘I’ve been coming here to be fair. Chelsea basically play with 10 men with Aubameyang. Another added: “Aubameyang should announce his retirement from biko football.”
While one fan agreed, saying: “This is Aubameyang’s run man, brought in as a sub and hooked when his team needs a goal.”
Another fan criticized the striker, saying: Aubameyang has been making a living. The submarine has gone offline.
While one wrote: “Not a particularly enthusiastic endorsement of what Graham Potter thinks of Aubameyang that – sub being subtitled.”
Therefore, Potter decided to replace him with Omari Hutchinson in the second half.
A follower spoke about the fall of the striker’s stardom. They said: ‘Aubameyang’s downfall really is something, hey… The man looks like a shell of his former self, I guess the ego he always carried hasn’t paid off this time… Imagine being an understudy and then being alternate. !’.
Others just laughed at Aubameyang and shared memes of him walking off the field looking frustrated.
Aubameyang has had a difficult time at Chelsea. The former Arsenal captain left Barcelona to join the west London club in a £10m deal on transfer deadline day.
He struggled to prove himself after arriving at Stamford Bridge. However, he did score in Chelsea’s victories over Crystal Palace and AC Milan before Christmas.
However, the 33-year-old is said to be interested in a move to PSG if Chelsea leave the door open for him to leave.
The Ligue 1 giants are said to have already opened talks with Aubameyang ahead of a possible transfer next summer.
A move to PSG would see the striker link up with Christophe Galtier, who managed Aubameyang during his time in charge of Saint-Etienne.
