Football fans on social media have blasted Alejandro Garnacho after the winger's dreadful performance in Chelsea's 3-2 victory over West Ham at Stamford Bridge on Saturday night.
The Blues found themselves trailing 2-0 at the break after goals from Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville.
However, after head coach Liam Rosenior withdrew Garnacho, Chelsea rallied to secure all three points with Joao Pedro, Marc Cucurella and Enzo Fernandez all finding the net.
Garnacho only joined the west London giants from Manchester United back in the summer transfer window, having failed to win round Ruben Amorim during his time at Old Trafford.
But he's yet to really get going at Chelsea and his performance against Nuno Espirito Santo's relegation-threatened side was arguably his worst yet.
He was hooked having lost possession 12 times in just 45 minutes, with West Ham targeting him as a weak link.
And fans on social media have now ripped into the Argentina international, who now faces a huge fight to win his place back in Rosenior's side.

"Garnacho is the worst player I've seen play for Chelsea," were the words of one X user, with a second adding: "Genuinely, Garnacho might be the worst signing we’ve ever made."
Another targeted the Blues hierarchy for signing the 21-year-old in the first place, saying: I’m telling you, Garnacho should have been a project ending signing at Chelsea. Every single person involved in ok’ing that deal should have lost their jobs."
A fourth added: "I hate watching this Garnacho guy play football."

One Red Devils supporter said: "I’ll forever be eternally grateful to Ruben Amorim for getting rid of Garnacho. Thank you Ruben, all the best where you go next."
Another wrote: "Getting rid of Garnacho is among one of the greatest decisions Man United has made… watching him makes you angry as a football fan."
Garnacho was once compared to Cristiano Ronaldo during his younger years due to his tenacity, potential and eye for goal.
But Chelsea are yet to see the best from the winger, who has scored just one Premier League goal so far this season.
Meanwhile, in addition to Garnacho, two other Chelsea players were hooked with Rosenior needing to turn the game around.

The Blues boss refused to criticise them after the game, however, insisting that he was still pleased with their effort and commitment.
“My biggest learning is that there’s a spirit and a fight, and a resilience in this group that I really like,” he said.
“I’ve demanded from the first day. I’ve spoken about reacting positively to setbacks, about reactions to losing the ball, pressing, energy and intensity. All of that was there in the second half which wasn’t there in the first half.
“I don’t put that just down to the changes I made. We’ve had so many games in a short space of time, I was fearful of a lack of energy. I felt our decision-making was really poor in the first half.
“The reaction in the second half tells me we’ve got something really special here if I can utilise the squad in the correct way.”
“It’s easy right – the individuals came off and then people will look at them. That wasn’t on them. It was a collective poor performance in the first half."
