Gabby Agbonlahor has slammed Chelsea for playing ‘boring, boring’ football after their narrow win against West Ham.
The former Aston Villa forward said he is disinterested with the way Thomas Tuchel’s side are playing at the moment – and said Blues fans feel the same way, particularly after their dismal midweek showing at Southampton.
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.
He noted that the team’s performance against West Ham only improved when Ben Chilwell was introduced as a substitute with 20 minutes to play against the Hammers.

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.’
