Aubameyang and Sterling
EKO HOT BLOG reports that in a recent interview, former West Ham United striker Frank McAvennie has voiced his strong criticism of Chelsea stars Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, labeling them as “terrible players.”
McAvennie’s scathing comments come in light of their lackluster performances throughout the ongoing 2022–23 campaign for the Blues.
Raheem Sterling, previously regarded as one of Manchester City’s brightest talents before his high-profile move to Chelsea last summer, has struggled to meet the lofty expectations of fans and pundits alike.
Despite his impressive track record, Sterling has faltered this season, managing a mere seven goals and four assists in 35 appearances for his new club.
Similarly, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who joined Chelsea from Arsenal, has also failed to make a significant impact. With just three goals and one assist in 21 appearances, the Gabonese striker has struggled to find his rhythm and deliver the desired level of performance.
Expressing his disappointment, McAvennie did not mince his words when evaluating the two players’ contributions to Chelsea’s campaign. He questioned the club’s decision to invest such substantial sums of money in acquiring Sterling and Aubameyang, considering the lack of output they have provided.

The former footballer expressed his reluctance to criticize players but highlighted his concern over their inability to establish themselves as world-class talents, given their experience and potential.
McAvennie’s remarks have sparked a debate among fans and pundits, with opinions varying on the validity of his claims. While some may argue that both Sterling and Aubameyang are still adjusting to their new surroundings and require more time to settle in, others may agree with McAvennie’s assessment, calling for improved performances from the high-profile duo.
As the 2022–23 season draws to a close, it remains to be seen how Sterling and Aubameyang will respond to the criticism and whether they can rediscover their form to help Chelsea achieve their objectives. The scrutiny surrounding their performances will undoubtedly intensify, prompting them to prove their doubters wrong and live up to the expectations that come with their reputations.
Ultimately, only time will tell whether Sterling and Aubameyang can overcome their struggles and regain their status as top-class players or if their underwhelming performances at Chelsea will continue to cast doubt on their abilities.
