These are the three Chelsea players who've let Conte down the most

Chelsea fans here in the Transfer Tavern are looking to get their title challenge back on track after a good win at in-form Watford.

Following a winless three matches in all competitions Chelsea hosted the Hornets in a match that was going to be difficult following their terrific form of late. Having been pushed out of the top four and things not looking too rosy at Stamford Bridge, some media outlets were looking at how Antonio Conte had been letting down the Chelsea board.

Still, rather than blaming Conte, many of our punters have been discussing which PLAYERS had been letting the Italian down. With major injuries to his midfield, Conte had to make do with what he’s got at the moment after a frustrating window.

With the team taking a bit of a battering of late, our landlord looks at the three players he thinks have let Antonio Conte down the most in a tough period for the Blues.

The Brazilian is a marmite player, he splits opinion even amongst the Chelsea fans he can either score a worldy or make a huge mistake to cost them the game.

You never really know what you’ll get on match day out of him, much to the frustration of the Blues in our bar. This inconsistency has aided Chelsea’s tough spell in all competitions, robbing Conte of a top class central defender.

A player of his experience should know how to work a game by now, sometimes reckless in a challenge, sometimes he just goes missing out of position.

The Belgian scored the two goals to turn the Watford game around but, previous to that, and in Alvaro Morata’s absence, he should have stepped up to the plate a lot more.

He has one of the best goals to minutes ratio in the league and but he doesn’t do it on a consistent level and you cant ever see him being a Chelsea regular starter, more of a cup match and super-sub type of player.

Seemingly unable to hold the ball up when deployed as a lone central striker, it doesn’t seem like he’ll ever truly be trusted.

A lot of Chelsea fans seem to be of the opinion that Willian has gone severely off the boil in recent months, he’s not really in the team much and when he is he doesn’t make a massive difference.

With Conte’s current injury list in the midfield area, Willian should be pulling out all the stops to fight for his place and make the Italian turn his head in his direction.

The best player in the club’s last season of turmoil, the Brazilian certainly has dipped in form.
