Conor Gallagher, looking dejected after Chelsea’s heavy defeat to Arsenal, insists that the players are putting in the effort, in response to a young fan’s banner calling for the team to start “fighting for the shirt”. The defeat to Arsenal came after a turbulent season for Mauricio Pochettino’s side, who were hoping to bounce back after being knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester City on Saturday.
However, the match against Arsenal saw them concede five goals, with only one shot on target. The team’s inconsistent performances over the past two seasons have tested the patience of the fans, as demonstrated by a young supporter holding a banner expressing their frustration.
