There is a surreal atmosphere at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.
Chelsea have appointed Guus Hiddink as Jose Mourinho’s successor this afternoon, but for some fans ahead of today’s game against Sunderland, there was only one man on their minds.
When the teams were announced Cesc Fabregas’ name was booed:

While Diego Costa got the same treatment.
The Chelsea crowd booing Cesc and Costa – two players, ironically, who backed Mourinho.

It wasn’t just vocal anger from the home crowd either with various banners blaming the player’s for Mounrinho’s departure.

Nice and clear writing, remembered the diacritic "é", decent gluing-together of multiple sheets of A3: 8/10 effort pic.twitter.com/Y3zUIaYy3L
