Conor Gallagher was handed his first start for Chelsea in gameweek three vs Leeds.
The former Crystal Palace loanee looked poor in a two-man midfield and struggled to deal with the Whitesβ press.
But as NβGolo Kante remains out and Mateo Kovacic was not fit enough for 90 minutes, Gallagher was once again in from the off vs Leicester on Sunday.
The midfielderβs outing did not last long, though, as he was shown a second yellow after 28 minutes.
The first card he received was somewhat harsh, but there was no excuse for his second foul, especially when he was aware he was already on a yellow.
Speaking after the game, Thomas Tuchel was not happy with the Englishman:
βWe spoke briefly after the game and things like this can happen. Itβs not purely his fault alone because itβs a set-piece for us and itβs sloppy how we take set-pieces at the moment.
βWe lack belief and precision. We can speak it out clearly. Itβs not good enough how we take set-pieces at the moment and on top of it, we give chances away.
βWe are sloppy on the coverage, bad with the decision making how we cover the set-pieces. We have to stop doing this and improve immediately. We are on it with the team and I donβt know why it happened again.
βAt the end of this chain is a decision that brings such a huge disadvantage after 25 minutes. Itβs a very, very bad decision from Conor and, of course, he is upset. Everybody was upset in this moment because it almost kills the whole football match.β
