Social media reactions as Chelsea lose 2-1 to Southampton

Fans are saying the same thing on social media after Chelsea slumped to another defeat at St. Marys.

Chelsea fell to a 2-1 defeat against Southampton at St. Marys on Tuesday night, August 30, 2022.

The Blues surrendered an early lead in the first half as they seemingly lost composure after dominating the game for a lengthy spell.

Raheem Sterling picked up from where he left over the weekend by opening the scoring for Chelsea in the 23rd minute.

However, the Saints soon roared back into the game after a brilliant corner from James Ward-Prowse was controlled and beautifully hammered into the back of the Chelsea net by Romeo Lavia five minutes later.

Thomas Tuchel's men struggled to find an immediate response and were soon left trailing after Adam Armstrong put the hosts in the lead in stoppage time of the first period.

Chelsea were hoping to turn things around in the second period, with the Blues trailing by a slender lead.

However, despite having the lion's share of possession, the Blues failed to really test the Southampton defense.

The hosts managed to keep the Londoners at bay until the full-time whistle as Ralph Hasenhuttl's men picked up their second win of the Premier League season while Thomas Tuchel slumped to his second defeat of the season.

Following the result on Tuesday night, here's how fans have reacted on social media:

That’s embarrassing. This Southampton team is very poor too.

A lot of work to do Thomas Tuchel.

On the flipside, Tuchel 100% deserves these results for the shit he’s been trying to pull.

I'm convinced Tuchel might not be that guy

I see why so many people hate Mason Mount now. I have no idea why he’s one of the first name on Tuchel and Southgate’s teamsheet, he’s bang average.

Thomas Tuchel better gets a midfielder, if he knows what's good for him.

Maybe Tuchel is not a good manager.

I think it's time to have that Tuchel conversation.

If Tuchel hadn’t of won the Champions League (He’s a Legend for doing so obviously) he’d be out now, we’ve been very average apart from that champions league run since he’s joined. #CFC

Tuchel is trying to building the wall of Jericho but the wall is not ‘Jerichoing’ 😭😭😭
— KOJO BANKZ (@UTDKojo) August 30, 2022

I’m starting to think Tuchel isn’t the man. The way he’s been setting us up from a tactical perspective has been horrendous. I don’t know what he is trying to achieve…

Mitrovic 5 goals in 5 matches.
All Chelsea forwards 3 goals.
Buh Thomas Tuchel is busy buying defenders everyday.
