Tiemoue Bakayoko Rated Worst Player On The Pitch, Subbed Off After Shocking 45 Minutes

Seriously, what's happened to Tiemoue Bakayoko?!

The French midfielder rose to prominence at AS Monaco, eventually securing a transfer to Chelsea who fended off competition from Manchester United.

But he's failed to produce.

Bakayoko has since been loaned out to AC Milan though he's yet to make an impression.

In fact, he's been awful in Italy. His misery was compounded on Thursday night when AC Milan lost 2-1 to Real Betis in the Europa League.

Bakayoko started the game in midfield. However, Gennaro Gattuso dragged him off at the break after a horrendous 45 minutes.

Needless to say, Italian media didn't hold back.

Tuttosport, La Gazzetta dello Sport and Il Corriere dello Sport all issued their verdict and it doesn't make for pleasant reading.

Tuttosport rated Bakayoko's performance a paltry 4/10. Il Corriere dello Sport also rated him 4/10.

Though the most damning assessment came from La Gazzetta dello Sport who labelled him the 'worst on the pitch'.

He was brutally trolled online, too.

Here's hoping Bakayoko can rediscover his form at AS Monaco.
