“Plays like Bakayoko” “Tuchel should sell him immediately” – Fans slams Chelsea star poor performance in 2-1 win over Leicester
Chelsea’s youngster Conor Gallagher received harsh criticism from Chelsea supporters for his poor performance in the Blues’ 2-1 win over Leicester City at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. The west London club’s 3-0 loss to Leeds United was the 22-year-first old’s Premier League start for the team.
He received harsh criticism for his poor performance against Jesse Marsch’s team. Thomas Tuchel was compelled to start the young player against Brendan Rodgers’ team despite his subpar performance against the Whites.
N’Golo Kante, who is expected to miss at least four weeks due to a hamstring injury, was not available for the German coach, and Mateo Kovacic was only named to the bench because he is still recovering from a knee injury.
Once again, Gallagher had a difficult game as he received two yellow cards in the first 22 minutes of play and a red card six minutes later for a serious foul on Harvey Barnes.
The England international returned to Chelsea after an incredible loan spell with Crystal Palace last season, during which he scored eight goals and provided five assists in 34 league games. However, his performances have left Blues fans infuriated.
Despite being reduced to 10 men within half an hour, Chelsea were able to claim a victory over Leicester City thanks to a brace from Raheem Sterling.
Harvey Barnes halved the Blues’ advantage midway through the second half, but Thomas Tuchel’s side were able to hold onto their lead and claim all three points.

“Gallagher really has poor discipline man. You’ve played in the PL last season and you’re acting like a rookie. Whatever man,” said a fan on Twitter.
“Not watching but just saw Gallagher has a red card 20 minutes in, Wtf is wrong with him? Worst Premier League player of all time,” said another fan on Twitter.
@ConnCFC: Gallagher really has poor discipline man. You’ve played in the PL last season and you’re acting like a rookie. Whatever man
@Jorgxnh0: Starting Gallagher ahead of Gilmour is honestly a sackable offence and I’m not exaggerating
@CFCRaf2: We’re playing better with 10 men than when we had Gallagher on the pitch
@BeIgiannn; Reckon we can appeal and get Gallagher a 35 match ban ?
@BeIgiannn: Wonder if Gallagher will get the same level of abuse Bakayoko got despite being 1/10th of the player and being 5x worse in a Chelsea shirt
@WidePlaymakerV3: If Tuchel decides to sell Gallagher immediately, no one should complain
