# Crystal Palace: Fans criticise Jordan Ayew performance

**Many Crystal Palace fans have been angered by Jordan Ayew’s poor performance away to Champions League holders Chelsea on the opening day of the Premier League season.**

In a fixture in which the Ghana international has struggled to exert his influence on proceedings, he has incurred a wave of criticism in the first competitive encounter of the new campaign.

Despite predominantly being used as a striker throughout his career, Ayew was utilised in a [wide position](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58124898) away to London rivals Chelsea, which has prompted much discussion amongst the Palace support.

In what is new manager Patrick Vieira’s first Premier League game as a manager, loads of Crystal Palace diehards took to Twitter to voice their opinion on the defeat and Ayew’s display in particular.
