#3 Chelsea’s defensive troubles continue
It has been termed rather scandalous that Chelsea have managed to already concede a bagful of goals under the aegis of Antonio Conte. The side has consistently been broken down by the opposition and has often been termed out of sync by many pundits and it presents Conte with a headache he would like to resolve at the earliest.
In fairness to West Ham, they could have gotten at least a couple of more goals, if not for the heroics of Asmir Begovic and some last ditch tackles by Chelsea defenders – a proposition that will annoy Conte – a manager who prides himself on his defensive stability.
The side lined up with 3 centre-backs in a bid to contain the West Ham side but, the Hammers found space over and over again in the attacking third and it remains to be seen how Conte will strengthen his back-line in the games to come.
