Benoit Badiashile faced the wrath of the Chelsea fans after a terrible moment in Saturday\u2019s 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa.<\/p>\n
Enzo Maresca<\/a> has faced uncertainty over his defenders this season following Levi Colwill\u2019s anterior cruciate ligament injury<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Frenchman was chosen to start against Villa<\/a>, and gave away the ball poorly in the build-up to Ollie Watkins<\/a>\u2018 equaliser, with the striker later finding the winner with a header.<\/p>\n Tosin Adarabioyo has faced massive criticism this season<\/a>, too, with Chelsea<\/a>\u2018s defensive problems continuing to curtail any hopes of a title challenge.<\/p>\n Even the mainstay in the centre of the defence, Trevor Chalobah, has struggled to produce consistent performances<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Chelsea fans rip into Benoit Badiashile<\/p>\n Villa did not even have a shot in what was a dominant first half from Chelsea. The Blues might have been wondering how they were just one goal ahead at the break.<\/p>\n But they did have the advantage, and it came via Joao Pedro<\/a> when Reece James<\/a>\u2018 corner went through a sea of bodies before hitting the striker on the leg and deflecting in.<\/p>\n MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n Just a one-goal lead is precarious, however, and Villa showed exactly why when they equalised through Watkins.<\/p>\n Badiashile<\/a> was under no pressure at the back but hit a wayward ball towards the centre of the pitch, which Amadou Onana<\/a> easily intercepted. <\/p>\n The Belgian laid off to Boubacar Kamara<\/a>, who found Morgan Rogers<\/a>, with the England<\/a> international then playing a ball through to Watkins for the equaliser. <\/p>\n It’s Badiashile again!! Pathetic player this one.<\/p>\n \u2014 Moturi Sagini (@MoturiHosea) December 27, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n Chelsea fans were raging at the centre-back, who one fan called \u201cpathetic\u201d after his mistake.<\/p>\n There are no difference between chalobah, Badiashile and Tosin none of them is better than the other <\/p>\n They are all terrible<\/p>\n \u2014 ACE (@AceofNaija) December 27, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n If you want to understand everything wrong at Chelsea football club \u2013 this second half against Aston Villa is basically it. <\/p>\n An inept defender (Badiashile) signed by inept sporting directors who are also forcing a terrible rotation policy using second rate players.<\/p>\n \u2014 Paul Chelsea (@CFCBlueTomorrow) December 27, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n Another begged Badiashile to \u201cleave my club\u201d with others following suit and dubbing him \u201cone of the worst defenders we\u2019ve ever employed\u201d.<\/p>\n Sanchez did all he could,Badiashile with another bozo moment. Totally unacceptable and unnecessary<\/p>\n \u2014 OB (@CFC_OBED) December 27, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n We need to leave Badiashile in 2025. Genuinely one of the worst defenders we\u2019ve ever employed<\/p>\n \u2014 \ud83c\udfacN (@Nino12x) December 27, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n Said it before and I\u2019ll say it again, Badiashile should never put on a Chelsea shirt again. Won his contract in a cereal box, simples<\/p>\n \u2014 Ben Austen (@benstonesfc1) December 27, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n One X user described the \u201cterrible\u201d pass as a \u201cbozo moment\u201d, which was \u201ctotally unacceptable and unnecessary\u201d.<\/p>\n Chelsea have serious issues at the back<\/p>\n As one Chelsea fan pointed out, Tosin<\/a>, Badiashile and Chalobah<\/a> have all flattered to deceive for the Blues this season.<\/p>\n The loss of Colwill<\/a> 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. <\/p>\n Chelsea spent almost \u00a3300million in the summer, but they did not bring in single centre-back over the age of 19.<\/p>\n Chelsea \u2013 centre-backsStatusTrevor ChalobahFitBenoit BadiashileFitTosin AdarabioyoFitJosh AcheampongFitJorrel HatoInjuredAxel DisasiOutcastedWesley FofanaFitLevi ColwillInjured<\/p>\n Mamadou Sarr<\/a> was signed from Strasbourg and loaned back to them, while Jorrel Hato<\/a>, who was unavailable through injury on Saturday, is yet to find his feet in the Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n
