Terrace Talk: Conte needs to update his box of tricks

He picked the wrong team and employed the wrong tactics and was too slow to change it. We really needed a triple substitution after about 15 minutes. Although, that said, I don’t think three would have been enough given the woeful performances from Willian, Fabregas, Moses, and Cahill.

For the record, I am a fan of all those players with the obvious exception of Moses, but this was not the right game for them. So we saw ourselves overrun in midfield, Morata isolated and some diabolical passing against a bang average Arsenal team — quite depressing.
