Chelsea's Discipline Problem 'Drives Journalist Insane'

Journalist Matt Law says Chelsea's refusal to take accountability for their disciplinary issues is driving him insane, as the club's nine red cards this season cost them vital points.

Chelsea has received nine red cards in all competitions this season, with six in the Premier League. Wesley Fofana's latest sending off against Burnley means he will miss Sunday's crucial game against Arsenal, while Moises Caicedo is two bookings away from suspension.

According to Law, nobody at the club wants to take responsibility for the disciplinary problems that have impacted their Champions League qualification hopes. "Every time we ask anybody at the club about the disciplinary issue, they never want to take accountability," he stated. Former manager Enzo Maresca and current boss Liam Rosenior have both played down the notion of a discipline problem.
