Because this selection means only 2 possible outcomes in today's match......
A convincing win for City or a "cricket score" for City.
If we keep gap below 3 I'd be effing shocked.
I'm starting to wish Conte had taken the Inter job. That way we could at least blame the board etc.
Now? It's got too muddy.
Does Conte want the sack?

I think he shoukd have played Giroud up top with Hazard playing in midfield.

Giroud doesnt need to be fast we need an outlet from defence and hazard isnt it. Bring Giroud on after 60mins and move hazard to nr10 take Pedro off, although he hasnt done anything wrong hes the only one running at speed at citys defence. Willian to put preesure on the left back as es on a yellow and looks clumsy in the challenges.

Hazard being wasted in this game

I think Conte wanted to send a message to his boss that his team is not good enough to match City and needs reinforcement.
That was embarrassing from champions. So defensive. Only 28% possession. Didn't trouble city keeper .

Yes. And I hope he gets it.

Flash , does Conte want the sack you ask,I would venture that a few of the players would defineatly concur with that .The body language from Cesc,Willy,Hazard and Morata,spoke volumes to me !

Hazard looked totally lost today.
The fact that Chelsea rely on Giroud to do much is a problem onto itself.
What I found interesting today, while time was running out, Chelsea seemed to have borrowed the Arsenal playbook and "slow-walk" the ball down the field. Yes, Chelsea, even though their ball possession was abysmal, almost grabbed an equalizer at the very end, but most of the second half looked like a Man City training session with many Chelsea players simply looking on!

I think that message has been delivered several times now and wasn't needed yesterday.
It will be an interesting summer for us.
