Chelsea fans in hysterics as benched Kepa appears to criticise Cabellero for not saving Robinson’s West Brom opener
CHELSEA fans were left in hysterics after Kepa Arrizabalaga appeared to CRITICISE Willy Caballero for conceding against West Brom.
The Blues dropped their record signing for veteran goalie Caballero for Saturday’s trip to the Hawthorns.
Kepa’s future was already under the spotlight following the £22million arrival of Edouard Mendy from Rennes this week.
But even though the new shot-stopper was not involved today, Kepa could still only make the bench.
However, things did not go according to plan for Chelsea when they conceded a goal after just FOUR minutes.

Callum Robinson’s sweeping shot from the left nutmegged Reece James.
And Caballero was slow to react as he dived in vain and the ball sailed past his left into the back of the net.
But it was Kepa’s reaction on the bench which caught the eye of many viewers.
He could be seen remonstrating with midfielder Jorginho, appearing to criticise Caballero’s decision to dive for the ball.
And supporters found the entire scene hilarious considering Kepa’s history of gaffes - including passing straight to Sadio Mane, who quickly scored in Liverpool’s 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge a week ago.

One person said: “Lmaooooo Kepa is a joke man talking like he could save that.”
Another wrote: “I love Kepa analysing the goal in the stands…. hilarious.”
One added: “Kepa is patiently praying for Caballero to drink goals today and Chelsea to lose.”
Indeed, things only got worse for Frank Lampard’s men.
Robinson put the Baggies 2-0 up with his second of the game in the 25 minute following a mistake from new boy Thiago Silva, captaining Chelsea on his Premier League debut.
Moments later, Kyle Bartley scored to make it 3-0 to the home side while compounding Chelsea’s misery.
