These Chelsea fans on Twitter have reacted angrily to the starting eleven Maurizio Sarri has named to take on Manchester United this afternoon.
The Chelsea fanbase are rarely content with team selections, in truth, but this one has prompted an usually aggressive response from some fans.
Whether it be due to injury, illness or preference is unclear, but Sarri has opted to leave Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Emerson Palmieri out.

Mateo Kovacic and Marcos Alonso start in their place, with Loftus-Cheek among the substitutes and Emerson nowhere to be seen.
It’s a risk from Sarri, but one that he perhaps felt was necessary after Chelsea were held to a 2-2 draw by Burnley on Monday night.
What Sarri thinks is best oftentimes doesn’t align with the thoughts of the fanbase, though, as has been proven once again in this case.
Here’s how some of the Chelsea fanbase used Twitter as a platform to vent their anger as the team news broke this afternoon.

Alonso, Kovacic and Higuain start… I’m not saying anything 🥺
