Conte needs to drop these 2 Chelsea players against Arsenal this weekend – agreed?
Antonio Conte has a few tough decisions to make ahead of this weekend’s clash against Arsenal…
After all, Chelsea were held to a draw against Liverpool on Tuesday, in a game that – based on form – Chelsea really should have won.
The Reds really turned up on the night and made it very difficult for Antonio Conte, and whilst a few players impressed – there were a couple of performances that were far below par.
Chelsea, for the most part, have played very well this season – but poor individual performances from a few players on Tuesday night cannot go unignored, especially against a team as good as Arsenal.
The game could be season defining, and the result could be determined on a couple of personnel changes from Conte.
With that said, Conte needs to drop these 2 Chelsea players against Arsenal this weekend – agreed?
Eden Hazard
Eden Hazard simply hasn’t been good enough over the last few weeks.
The Belgian is quite clearly talented, and on his day there is nobody better – but his day simply has not come often enough this season.
He has looked poor over the last few weeks, and given how well a few of his teammates have been performing, he doesn’t deserve to start against the Gunners.
Nemanja Matic
Nemanja Matic looked poor against Liverpool, and his weaknesses were really exposed by the Merseyside-based side.
For the most part, the Serbian has looked good this season – but with question marks over his defending in such an important game, Antonio Conte simply shouldn’t take the risk.
Cesc Fabregas will be clamouring for a chance in the Chelsea first team, and now might be the chance to give it to him.
