“Drinkwater such a disgrace and waste of a player.”
A second added:
“Tuchel doesn’t even know who he is.”
A third continued:
“What a joke. That’s why he failed at most clubs. Poor mentality.”
With a fourth saying: “If he thinks he’s gonna get in the team then he needs to be sacked too.”
Following an online backlash, the photo was quickly removed and replaced with an explanation.
He wrote: “Thought that was a bit of a strange reaction, didn’t hear about the news before I posted that.
“I was just missing playing.
“The manager was somebody I looked up to highly as a player.”
He said:
“I knew about the banner a week or two ago directly from the people who put it together.
“They're obviously huge supporters of this club and it was very appreciated.
“One thing I know when I'm at the Bridge, I'm at the club I love and have always had huge support as a player and as a manager.”#
