Chelsea fans are demanding Conor Gallagher be sold following the midfielder’s first-half performance against Leeds United on August 21.
The English midfielder was a surprise starter in the game at Elland Road, having only played five minutes in the Blues’ prior two fixtures.
Picked in the middle of the park alongside Jorginho, the former Crystal Palace loanee hasn’t been able to get a foothold in the game.
There had been reservations from fans over the Englishman’s selection ahead of the game.
He is struggling to contend with the likes of Leeds’ midfield duo Tyler Adams and Marc Roca, with the Elland Road side boasting a 2-0 lead at half-time.
The Peacocks took the lead through an Edouard Mendy howler. Brenden Aaronson capitalizing on the Senegalese goalkeeper’s nervousness on the ball.
Aaronson nicked the ball off the Chelsea keeper before easily gliding it into an empty net in the 33rd minute.
Rodrigo got Jesse Marsch’s side’s second, a brilliant header following a floating free-kick and the Blues stood shellshocked.
The performances of many of the Blues players can be critizised but it is Gallagher who is feeling the brunt of the scrutiny from the club’s supporters.
