The manager expressed total dissatisfaction with the way his team were outclassed by the Gunners but stressed once more that the team must improve if they wish to bury the nightmares of the previous campaign .

‘We started this game in a bad way, and from the first minute',Conte assessed.
‘This is very strange because Arsenal against Chelsea is a massive game and when we play this type of game against a very good team like Arsenal, you must stay concentrated from the first minute and this today did not happen'
The blues conceded three first half half goals for the first time in over a year but Conte remains confident that a lot of work can remedy this situation (conceding goals)

‘I said this before we have two defeats and this message is good for the present and for the future,’ he said. ‘We must work a lot to improve and change the situation because now we are only a great team on paper, not on the pitch.
‘The pitch is the truth, it is the most important thing for us, not the words and not the paper. We must change this because last season was a bad season. There are many difficulties but if we understand this, we are in a great position to recover and change the situation.’

Skipper John Terry who missed the game through injury is expected to be back in time for the next league game while youngster Kurt Zouma,another defensive option will be available for selection after the international break.
