Agbonlahor: Chelsea So Boring To Watch

Former Aston Villa captain Gabby Agbonlahor has slammed Chelsea after their 2-1 win against West Ham.

Speaking on Talksport after Chelsea's 2-1 win over their London rivals on Saturday, which would have been a draw but for a controversial late VAR decision to overrule an equaliser, Agbonlahor tore into the Blues for their style of play this season.

The 35-year-old said: "I don't like watching them play football. It's boring. Today was boring. The first half - boring, boring Chelsea. Chelsea fans agreed midweek. Watching them at the moment is boring football.

"The five at the back, when you watch them, it's not working. Today, they put Chilwell on for [Marc] Cucurella. Chilwell's flying forward, scores a goal."

Agbonlahor was also quick to criticise Marc Cucurella's performance, particularly after the money that the Blues spent to sign him from Brighton - and said the funds could have been put to better use by buying someone from Saturday's opponents.

"I'm not having him," the former England striker said of the 24-year-old defender. "I don't understand £60m. He's not good technically, very erratic. Silly fouls.

"Put that towards Declan Rice. Today I thought Chelsea got away with one. And West Ham were very unlucky not to get a point."
