Fans and critics have expressed frustration with Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of Chelsea, particularly over his use of Armando Broja.
Broja, a 21-year-old striker, missed last season due to a ruptured cruciate ligament in his right knee. Despite his recovery and training with Chelsea's first team, he was omitted from their pre-season tour of the United States, raising questions about his role and future under Pochettino's management.
Broja's situation at Chelsea
Broja's situation came into sharper focus following Chelsea's performance against Wolves. In this match, Chelsea suffered a 2-1 defeat at Molineux, where several players were criticized for their performances.
Broja, who was given a start, failed to capitalize on his opportunity, leading to fan dissatisfaction.
The 22-year-old's lack of impact in front of goal and inability to seize his chance in the match against Wolves was noted as concerning, reflecting a broader struggle within the team.
Fans reacts
Although both of them are shit but I will take Jackson over Broja every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I honestly don't understand why everyone on the planet Earth continues to slander Jackson when Broja is even worse...

Broja doesn't provide anything, misses 99% of his chances, but it is ”normal”, meanwhile Jackson scores 8 goals and gets hated like he's committed a crime 😪 pic.twitter.com/gZj6c0WwUu
You have Nkunku on the bench and you started the second half with Broja and Jackson.
