"We need to be clever" Chelsea coach Pochettino warned players about these mistakes

Chelsea had a difficult start to the season. They spent a lot of money during the last transfer window to sign top players, but their performances initially did not live up to expectations and the results they got were disappointing. As a result, they are not only far from the top of the table, but also from the qualification zone for international tournaments.

One of the problems The Blues have had this season has been injuries. Many important players of the squad have been out of the field for a long time due to physical problems. In fact, two of the stars who arrived this summer have yet to play even one minute for this reason: Romeo Lavia and Christopher Nkunku.

This has reduced coach Mauricio Pochettino's options. But it is not the only reason for his problems, as there is another thing that worries him: bookings. Chelsea are the dirtiest team in the league, with 47 yellow cards and one red card.

During the press conference ahead of Wednesday's game against Manchester United, 'Poch' spoke about this and said: “Today we were talking in the meeting and we showed the clips of the yellow cards. We need to be clever. You upset a player, you get a yellow card, and then later in the game, you can receive another yellow. We receive too many like this”.

He is not happy

Then Mauricio Pochettino spoke particularly about one of the squad players: "We were talking about Nicolas Jackson, the yellow cards from complaining to the referee. An opponent makes a foul and doesn't receive a yellow card. You complain and say 'why is that not a yellow card?' And it's 'Oh, yellow card for you'. We need to be clever and improve in this area. We cannot be silly to keep repeating the same mistakes."
