Chelsea have received more red cards than any other side in the Premier League this season, according to BBC Sport. The club has seen seven players sent off in 26 league fixtures. Manager Liam Rosenior stated the team has 'set fire' to points due to poor discipline and inconsistent home form at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea lost 2-1 to Everton on Saturday, marking their sixth home defeat of the current campaign. The result leaves the club in 12th position in the table. Rosenior told reporters that individual errors and dismissals have undermined collective performances during recent months.
Per Premier League data, Chelsea have dropped 15 points from winning positions this season. The manager urged his players to improve their composure to avoid further disciplinary action. The team travel to face Brentford in their next league fixture on Wednesday. Rosenior joined the club in October and has won eight of his 19 matches in charge across all competitions.
