Thiago Silva’s performance in Chelsea’s 2-1 loss to Wolves made him the target of the wrath of the club’s fans.

The Blues lost their ninth Premier League game, and the 39-year-old Brazilian had arguably his poorest performance of the season. After halftime, Mario Lemina headed the ball past Dorde Petrovic, putting Chelsea behind.

But they were fortunate not to concede in the first half when Hwang Hee-chan intercepted Silva’s dallying with the ball and set up Joao Gomes, but Gomes missed the target with his attempt.

Matt Doherty scored a second goal for Wolves in stoppage time, seemingly giving Gary O’Neill’s team the win. However, Christopher Nkunku scored Chelsea’s first goal in the 96th minute, making for an anxiоus finish. But the host team showed their mettle by winning back-to-back games.

Chelsea dropped to 10th place in the Premier League after their third straight loss. A number of supporters have taken aim at Thiago Silva, the Brazilian international, with some even calling for his retirement as a matter of squad business.

It would be best if Thiago Silva retired, according to one X (previously Twitter) user. One person said, “Thiago Silva needs to retire, or at least move to the MLS or somewhere.” Another asked why Thiago is always worried about the weekend, when all of his former teammates have been relaxing for years.

Silva is currently the oldest player in the Premier League at 39 years of age, and some fans have speculated that his recent slump in form is a reflection of his older years.

Some Chelsea fans have taken issue with Mauricio Pochettino for not resting the former PSG captain, who has started every game for the Blues in 16 of their 17 Premier League matches.

“I love Thiago Silva but at 39, he shouldn’t be playing all the matches back to back fgs,” a fan stated while another added: “This poch guy gives everyone rest besides 80 year old Thiago Silva” .
