He feels they are routinely falling foul of the referees\u2019 stricter approach to bad behaviour this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We were talking in the meeting and showed the clips of the yellow cards,\u2019 said the Chelsea manager, before referencing the bookings for James and Raheem Sterling in their last away game at Newcastle, for kicking the ball away.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/05\/19\/78610375-12829025-image-a-1_1701802830776.jpg\" height=\"435\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Mauricio Pochettino has been showing his players videos of the yellow cards they have received this season in a bid to cut out silly bookings<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/05\/19\/78610605-12829025-image-a-2_1701802835720.jpg\" height=\"431\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Chelsea rank top of the Premier League for having amassed the most bookings this term &#8211; 47<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/05\/19\/78610659-12829025-image-a-4_1701802880398.jpg\" height=\"474\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Reece James was sent off for receiving a second yellow card when Chelsea met Newcastle\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There are too many because they changed the rules.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/05\/22\/78613717-12829025-Blues_in_the_book_Chelsea_have_made_16_reckless_fouls_this_seaso-a-23_1701814754676.jpg\" height=\"454\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Blues in the book! Chelsea have made 16 reckless fouls this season and have been penalised on seven occasions for dissent<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Always if you committed a foul, and the opponent comes to take it quickly, boom, you touch. Even when you play football with your friends, that happens. It\u2019s difficult to change. It will take time.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We need to be clever. We receive too many bookings like this. We were even talking about Nicolas Jackson, a yellow card he received for complaining to the referee.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The opponent made a foul and didn\u2019t receive a yellow card. But you complain about why that is not a yellow card and it is a yellow card for you.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We need to be clever and improve in this area. We cannot be silly and repeat, repeat, repeat the same mistakes.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea have 10 players unavailable for the trip to Old Trafford, including Gallagher after the midfielder\u2019s dismissal for two bookings during Sunday\u2019s 3-2 win over Brighton, but Pochettino is out to pile more misery on to United manager Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n<p>This will be the pair\u2019s first meeting since May 2019 when Pochettino\u2019s Tottenham beat Ten Hag\u2019s Ajax 3-2 courtesy of a Lucas Moura hat-trick to secure a place in the Champions League final against Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/05\/19\/78610741-12829025-image-a-5_1701802977873.jpg\" height=\"444\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Pochettino urged his players to be &#8216;clever&#8217; and claimed that his side has received too many bookings for repeating the same mistakes\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/05\/20\/78610619-12829025-image-a-7_1701806836384.jpg\" height=\"461\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Referees have been cracking down on penalizing players for dissent this season\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pochettino is sure Ten Hag will not still hold a grudge from that game.
