Despite Chelsea losing 4-1 on Thursday, to many supporters that was not the most disappointing thing to take place that evening. That is because Levi Colwill, who presents significant hope for the future, chose to post a photo of himself and former Blues man Billy Gilmour on social media just minutes after Manchester United had completed their demolition of his parent club.
The twitter post was in reply to someone asking how is evening was going, with the user of that account likely having full knowledge of Chelsea's shambolic display at Old Trafford. Colwill subsequently replied with an image of him and Gilmour smiling captioned, "lovely". There is of course no guarantee anyone can prove that his post was explicitly directed at Chelsea, but what can be said, is it was certainly poorly-timed.
The 22-year-old is coming off the back of a superb loan spell at Brighton where he helped the Seagulls secure European football earlier this week with a draw against Manchester City. Following that match, Colwill took part in an interview where he forgot he was a Chelsea player, while manager Roberto De Zerbi has stressed on several occasions how much he likes Colwill and wants to keep him.
