5 things that went wrong for Chelsea this season

#4 Lack of rotation

Musonda is one among the Chelsea players who has not given enough time to prove the worth.

Last season it was easier for Conte as the Blues were not in European competitions. But this term Chelsea have more competitions to fight for and thus, fixtures naturally gets tighter. In many games this season we have seen a tired Chelsea team.

Conte repeatedly says that he has got a small squad this season but what needs to be seen is that he is not giving some players enough game-time to prove their worth.

Charly Musonda is a very talented attacker Conte had at his disposal. Musonda had two great seasons on loan at Real Betis and was arguably one of their best performers during the period.

Still, he was given only three substitute appearances comprising a total of just 35 minutes in the Premier League this season. He was handed just two starts this term, both coming in the Carabao cup in which he scored one goal too.

We know that Mitchy Batshuayi has never replicated the form he had at Marseille. But he has done enough to put more trust on him.

He has only made 26 appearances of which 14 were as a substitute this term and has scored 12 goals. Now he is loaned out to Borussia Dortmund, where he has already scored two goals and one assist in his debut match.

Bakayoko's performances have been mediocre in his debut season and Conte does have the experienced Drinkwater, who is in better form. But still, he is starting the Frenchman ahead of the former Leicester City player. Conte should start experimenting with the squad sooner rather than later lest he may see himself facing the sack.
