Ultimately its rare I have a bad word to say about Conte.
It was obvious that a 3 man midfield was needed, it would have stifled Arsenal play allowed us to dictate and we all no they would've caved eventually. Even then on top of that if we were going to play 2 in midfield it had to be Baka & Kante. Arsenal found it too easy to keep the ball. First Major Error.
Baka was immense when he came on I think I saw he didn't misplace a single pass. He's also completed every take on he's attempted in the prem so far.
Secondly Cahill at the back, in terms of defending he didn't have a bad game. But in terms of ball playing it makes us completely one sided and forces us back down the right due to his ball playing ability. Rudiger & Christiansen are both very much superior options and one of them should've started.
The players had an off day and share some responsibility for the blame but really Tony got this one all wrong.
Lastly hindsight is good, Hazard looked sharp when he came on against arsenal but looked off the pace when he came on against Qarabag this week. Don't blame Antonio for keeping him as a sub really, gotta trust Pedro & Willian to perform. Willian was appaling I thought arguably our worst player. Pedro didn't have the greatest of games but he's at least a bit smarter.
