Chelsea midfielder Gallagher addresses angry fan's sign after Arsenal thrashing

A passionate Chelsea fan delivered a damning assessment of their players on Tuesday night.

The Blues were battered away from home at the Emirates Stadium by Arsenal.

Losing the contest 5-0 to their city rivals, a Blues fan held up a banner that showcased the Chelsea kit.

It also read: “I don't want your shirt!!

“I want you to want to fight for ours. UTC (Up the Chelsea)."

Post-game, Conor Gallagher said on the sign: “Well we are definitely putting the effort in.

“I know how much it means to all the boys, I know it's been said many times, it's a very young squad with not much experience as a team in the Premier League.

“We have had a lots of ups and downs and we are still improving and working together as a team to get to the next level.

“Today was one of those days that we were nowhere near it.

“We need to dust ourselves off and also look at the performance and where we can improve and all the mistakes where we can put it right and move onto the next one."
