Supporters of Chelsea took to Twitter following the cup defeat to Manchester United to express their disappointment in Pedro.
The 32-year-old Spaniard featured for the Blues for 20 minutes in Wednesday night’s defeat as a late substitute for Christian Pulisic.
With Marcus Rashford netting his speculative free-kick, which resulted from a foul by the Spaniard just minutes after the winger entered the field, many supporters were unhappy with Pedro and branded him a ‘curse’.
Delete Pedro and Alonso from the club, or we might be looking at a smaller picture

The 32-year-old has been in London for four years now, since his £24.3 million arrival from Barcelona in August 2015 (per Transfermarkt).
Still rated at £18 million (via Transfermarkt), Pedro has made eight appearances for the Blues across four competitions this term – with supporters still reeling over his latest.

Pedro had no positive impact on the pitch, all he could do was to cost us the game .. so pathetic!

What do we think?
Despite giving away the free-kick which led to the Red Devils’ winner on Wednesday night, Pedro still has some use to Frank Lampard’s side.
With an average rating of 6.95/10 across his three Premier League outings this term (via Whoscored), the Spaniard clearly has usefulness to the Blues that he can still fulfil when called upon.
