Thiago Silva replies to criticism after being asked to be dropped by fans

The Blues fell to their second defeat of the season against Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge leaving them in 11th position on the league table.

The defeat leaves Mauricio Pochettino’s side with just four points in their first four Premier League games.

Thiago Silva was criticised for the team's bad performance after the game and he responded to comments made by fans.

Thiago Silva received criticism for the team’s performance and has been asked to be dropped from the team.

Teamcfc said on Instagram as reported by Fabrizio, “This won’t go down well but I think it’s time to drop Thiago Silva.. 😬

“Playing him is becoming a problem because we have to play a back 5 to shoehorn him in.

“Playing 4 at the back will allow us to be better going forward and I don’t think we’ll suffer much at the back.

“Nothing but respect to Thiago but I think we’d be better off without him at the minute.

The Chelsea defender then replied to the Instagram account and accepted the blame for the team's performance.

Thiago said, “If you look closely at the game, we are playing with a line of 4 my friend! But there's no problem in assuming that I'm also responsible for the defeat. put the pressure on me 👍🏾 No problem yesterday!”

The Brazilian has gone on to take the blame and asked fans to put the pressure on him and not the team.
