“I watched every second of the 90-minute match between Ipswich and Chelsea, which ended in a 2-2 Disappointing game for Chelsea, and I must say these two Chelsea players do not deserve to continue their careers at the club.

Chelsea fans were left fuming after watching their side stumble to a disappointing 2-2 draw against Championship underdogs Ipswich Town, and one club legend didn’t hold back in his post-match verdict. John Terry, the iconic former captain who once embodied the club’s pride, passion, and winning mentality, tore into two current Chelsea players for what he called a “disgraceful and unacceptable” performance.

“I watched every second of the 90-minute match between Ipswich and Chelsea, which ended in a 2-2 disappointing game for Chelsea,” Terry said during a post-match appearance on Premier League Tonight. “And I must say, these two Chelsea players do not deserve to continue their careers at the club.”

The match, played at a packed Portman Road, was supposed to be a formality for Mauricio Pochettino’s men. But instead, it turned into a nightmare that exposed Chelsea’s ongoing inconsistency and lack of character. Goals from Mykhailo Mudryk and Nicolas Jackson were not enough to seal the win, as defensive lapses and lack of composure allowed Ipswich to claw their way back and snatch a point.

While Terry refrained from naming the players immediately during his initial statement, he later revealed the targets of his criticism: Marc Cucurella and Axel Disasi. According to the former Blues skipper, the duo “completely let the team down” with their poor decision-making, weak positioning, and lack of leadership on the pitch.

“Cucurella looked completely lost,” Terry continued. “He was caught out of position too many times. He doesn’t close down his man, he doesn’t track runs, and for someone who cost over £60 million, that’s just not good enough.”

The criticism didn’t stop there.

“As for Disasi, I’ve seen Sunday League defenders with more awareness. He was slow to react, failed to communicate, and was at fault for both goals. That’s not what wearing the Chelsea badge is about.”

Fans on social media echoed Terry’s harsh assessment. Hashtags like #CucurellaOut and #DisasiDisaster trended on X (formerly Twitter), with supporters venting their frustration at the club’s transfer policy and the apparent lack of defensive stability.

“John Terry said what we’ve all been thinking for months,” wrote one fan. “This team is crying out for leaders, but all we’ve got are passengers.”

Others called for immediate changes ahead of the next league fixture, fearing that further dropped points could derail Chelsea’s hopes of securing a top-four finish.

Pochettino, visibly frustrated in his post-match interview, admitted the result was “not acceptable” and hinted at potential squad rotation in the coming weeks. However, he stopped short of naming individuals, instead opting for a more diplomatic tone.

“It’s a collective responsibility. We had moments to control the game and failed. But we will analyze everything internally.”

Yet with Chelsea legend John Terry openly calling out players and a growing storm brewing among fans, the pressure is mounting. If things don’t improve fast, Pochettino could be forced into tough decisions — and for certain players, time may already be running out.

One thing’s for sure: the Chelsea faithful, and their former captain, won’t tolerate mediocrity much longer.
