Ferdinand brands Chelsea midfielder Bakayoko a 'DISGRACE'

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has blasted Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko after their 1-1 draw at Liverpool.

Ferdinand claimed the French midfielder was not contributing anything to Chelsea defensively.

“If I was Gary Cahill out there I would be screaming at Bakayoko," Ferdinand said on BT Sport.

“I think defensively he's been an absolute disgrace today.

“He's doing nothing, he's letting people run off him he's leaving Gary Cahill isolated.

"Gary Cahill with the experience he's got he should be telling Bakayoko 'left, right, back' to protect.

“They're letting the ball being rolled into (Mohamed) Salah every time the ball comes on this right-hand side.

“They're causing problems."
