(Images): Criticisms of this defender on West Ham equaliser are too harsh

Chelsea fans online are angry at Marc Cucurella for the way he defended for West Ham’s equaliser. They made images to illustrate what annoyed them.

The cross came from his side, and he just stood there and let it come in.

You can see the images in question embedded here:

Now we won’t argue it’s not a bad look. For a player who isn’t doing well, standing like you’re waiting for a bus is a bad, bad look, regardless of whether you stand a chance of touching the ball.

He could also have taken a step towards Coufal to pressure him.

But ultimately, the ball was miles over his head, and it’s those at the back post (Reece James and Noni Madueke) who have really let the side down.
