Former Chelsea defender William Gallas has criticised manager Mauricio Pochettino\u2019s use of Conor Gallagher, stating that the midfielder is being played in the wrong position.<\/p>\n

Gallagher has been used in multiple positions for Chelsea this season, including attacking midfield, central midfield, and defensive midfield.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe [Gallagher] is not a playmaker, he\u2019s a ball-winning midfielder, and physically, he can run a lot and press very high,\u201d Gallas told Gambling Zone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis means that around him, you need players with different qualities, like a playmaker who can play very quickly between the lines, giving good assists. Gallagher doesn\u2019t do that and that is why it doesn\u2019t work for Chelsea with him in that position.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIt looks like the three players, Gallagher, [Moises] Caicedo and Enzo [Fernandez], don\u2019t really match each other. That is a problem, so it shows how, at board level, they don\u2019t really have any vision and they just buy players for the sake of buying players.\u201d<\/p>\n
