Frank Lampard’s Chelsea side ran out 2-1 winners in the Champions League last night.
Chelsea fans have slated Callum Hudson-Odoi’s performance against Lille, even though he was only used as a late substitute.
Hudson-Odoi replaced Christian Pulisic just after the hour mark for Chelsea last night, and his arrival came at the time when things started to go wrong for Frank Lampard’s side.
Chelsea had looked so comfortable throughout the contest against Lille and built up a 2-0 advantage in a game which they needed to win to secure qualification.
The Blues looked to be coasting into the next round, but Lille scored through Loic Remy, and then set up a nervy finish.
Although Chelsea held on, Lille did have their opportunities towards the end.
And Chelsea fans feel that they lost all attacking impetus when Hudson-Odoi came on to the pitch.
Hudson-Odoi actually started the campaign in Chelsea’s first choice line-up, but he has fallen down the pecking order more recently.
Pulisic’s good form has left Hudson-Odoi generally having to make do with substitute appearances, and he will have to play better if he is to win his spot back.
Chelsea are next in action against Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday.
