Chelsea’s supporters have taken to social media in their droves on Sunday, to take aim at one of the club’s star performers across the campaign to date.

James finds the net… at the wrong end

Thomas Tuchel’s men are currently locked in action, as part of the Premier League’s Boxing Day fixture list.

On the back of a concerning spell of form of late, which culminated in them slipping a full nine points adrift of table-topping Manchester City earlier today, the Blues made the trip to Villa Park, for a showdown with Steven Gerrard’s much-improved Aston Villa.

But, despite their side having managed to drag themselves back into proceedings, as alluded to above, those of a Chelsea persuasion have nevertheless been quick to take aim at one member of the club’s XI at Villa Park, in altogether ruthless fashion.

The player in question? Reece James.

Own goal aside, English international James has endured an evening to forget to this point, struggling on both sides of the ball, and failing repeatedly to pick out his teammates in the hosts’ box.

In turn, supporters of the Pensioners have flooded to social media mid-match, to question what exactly ‘is wrong’ with their usually reliable full-back star:
