Chelsea beat Leeds on Sunday to reach the FA Cup final, but a Blues man was not spared from criticism, with fans taking aim at his performance in the victory.<\/p>\n
Prior to the FA Cup semi-final against Leeds, Chelsea had lost their last three games, and seven of their last eight. The only victory in that spell was the FA Cup quarter-final against Port Vale.<\/p>\n
Liam Rosenior was dismissed as a consequence of the losing streak, and though caretaker boss Calum McFarlane oversaw a victory, helping Chelsea to the final, fans still are not happy.<\/p>\n
Many took aim at Alejandro Garnacho, who was replaced by Cole Palmer in the 71st minute, to the adulation of Blues fans, perhaps as much for the winger being taken off as Palmer coming on.<\/p>\n
On X, a number of fans showed their displeasure for Garnacho, with many urging for him to be sold.<\/p>\n

Yan Diomande, Morgan Rogers, and Nico Williams are all under consideration.<\/p>\n They have also entered the race for Anthony Gordon, with a lot of clubs eyeing the Newcastle winger, who it\u2019s felt could be on the move during the summer window.<\/p>\n That Garnacho did not perform against Leeds could only expedite Chelsea\u2019s decision on the sale.<\/p>\n His 6.6 FotMob<\/a> rating was the second worst of the Blues, beaten only by Romeo Lavia\u2019s 6.5.<\/p>\n
