Manchester City 1-0 Chelsea: 5 Talking Points

#1 Antonio Conte and Chelsea are in serious trouble

Speaks for itself

When Eden Hazard was taken off in the dying embers of the game, the Belgian walked past Conte and into the dugout without so much as offering his gaffer a glance. That remind you of something?

Chelsea are 4 points behind Tottenham who are currently sitting at 4th in the Premier League table with 58 points. Liverpool are 2nd with 60 points and Manchester United are 3rd with 59 points. The Red Devils face Crystal Palace on Monday and could very well extend the gap between them and Chelsea to 9 points.

Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester United all look in much better shape than this Chelsea side and unless these teams surprisingly implode or run themselves into a rut, Chelsea are not going to qualify for Champions League next year.

They could yet qualify and that is if they beat Barcelona at the Camp Nou. Well, good luck with that.

The repercussions could be quite deadly for Chelsea. Antonio Conte looks like he is on the way out and looks like a man who's on borrowed time. Eden Hazard doesn't look pleased and you can't put a summer move past this frustrated Belgian genius.

Willian will be 30 by the time the next season starts and Fabregas and Pedro will be 31. Bakayoko has been disappointing all season and Barkley has hardly ever played yet. Drinkwater has not been impressive either and the lack of quality in the side is starting to show.

None of these players are getting any younger and in Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud, they have unreliable strikers. It looks like Chelsea could be in for a mass overhaul this summer and the rebuilding process could be one of the toughest periods the club has endured in the recent past.
