A then-British record \u00a3107million signing in January, there were high hopes for the Argentine midfielder after his World Cup heroics.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Fernandez has been a central figure in a woefully underperforming side over the last nine months. Although Chelsea\u2019s struggles pre-date the 22-year-old\u2019s arrival, he has hardly been involved in a win during his time at Stamford Bridge.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fernandez\u2019s bad luck has seen a horrid run of results. In fact, the former Benfica man has only played in one victory against a current Premier League team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That came in Chelsea\u2019s 3-1 win away at Bournemouth in May. Fernandez did not feature in the Blues\u2019 only victory this season &#8211; a 3-0 home triumph against struggling Luton at Stamford Bridge.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE: <\/strong> <strong>Chelsea co-owner &#8216;enters dressing room&#8217; as feelings made clear to players[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/4976160.jpg?r=1695590609938\"><\/p>\n<p>Defeat against Aston Villa was the 12th time Fernandez had been on the losing side in a Premier League game. It means he has lost over half his top-flight appearances, having played in the competition just 23 times.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ollie Watkins\u2019 second-half strike overcame a lacklustre Chelsea on Sunday. The Blues were on top until Malo Gusto\u2019s sending-off in the 58th minute.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pochettino bluntly urged his side to \u2018grow up\u2019 after the defeat, which was their third of the Premier League campaign and leaves them 14th in the table. Gusto faces a three-match ban for his challenge on Lucas Digne, while striker Nicolas Jackson will miss one game after picking up his fifth booking of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Chelsea boss revealed last week that he has already spoken to Jackson about his conduct, which has seen him earn four of his five yellow cards for dissent. Pochettino will therefore be fuming that the former Villarreal man has not heeded his advice. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you&#8217;ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

But the players, when they are young, need to learn with experience and when they make a mistake.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That is why we feel disappointed because we are paying too many situations like this.
