Blues went to hell&Bak

-

WHAT on earth is going on at Chelsea?

Defensivel­y, they were all over the place in Wednesday night’s shock 3-0 home defeat by Bournemout­h.

Manager Antonio Conte’s 3-4-3 system requires both central midfielder­s to provide an effective screen for the three centre-backs.

N’Golo Kante’s form has not dipped markedly, but Tiemoue Bakayoko (above) has not proved his worth as Nemanja Matic’s replacemen­t yet.

Olivier Giroud, however, will be a good signing for a team with the most headed goals in the Premier League this season.

Since making his Arsenal debut in 2012, Giroud has scored with more headers in the top flight than anyone. It should be a perfect fit.
