Two Chelsea stars have been slammed for a below-par performance in the Blues’ defeat to Everton. Timo Werner and Kai Havertz are the culprits.

Tony Cascarino has slammed Timo Werner and Kai Havertz for their performances after Chelsea lost 1-0 to Everton on Saturday.

Edouard Mendy was the unlikely cause of the Toffees goal after a sloppy challenge on Dominic Calvert-Lewin gifted Sigurdsson a goal from the penalty spot.

Chelsea were lost for some parts of the game and failed to make their chances count after hitting the woodwork twice.

It was a game where the Chelsea attack was out of sorts, and Cascarino was particularly critical of two of the club’s summer signings in Kai Havertz and Timo Werner.

Reflecting on last night’s game, the former Chelsea striker said as per talkSPORT: “Timo Werner struggled, he hasn’t scored for six games. I saw him against Rennes and I thought he was really poor.”

“He’s devastatingly quick and he’s got a goal record, I expect him to get one at Chelsea too.”

“He found it very difficult yesterday. Kai Havertz, too, was absolutely on the fringe of the game – and he’s another very talented player.”

“It felt like, at times, they were playing with nine men. They just didn’t make anything happen. Giroud didn’t get any service.”

“Everton handled the game brilliant, Ancelotti showed his experience in the way he set up his team.”

Kai Havertz in particular has failed to hit the mark at Chelsea and questions are already being asked about his big money move to Stamford Bridge over the summer.
