Chelsea’s Jekyll-and-Hyde Act Shows the Improvements Under Antonio Conte
- Updated: September 21, 2016
On one hand, Chelsea’s performance against Leicester City on Tuesday night outlined all that is wrong with Antonio Conte’s side. On the other, it showed the improvements the Blues have made in the short time he has been manager.
From two goals down owing to some amateurish defending, Chelsea eventually won the game 4-2 in extra time to progress to the fourth round of the EFL Cup. The comeback took a bit of luck to be pulled off but was largely defined by guts and no shortage of class when it really mattered in the final third.
What we saw at the King Power Stadium would have made Robert Louis Stevenson proud; it was vintage Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, either.
It’s territory we’ve touched upon already this season. As recently as Friday the talk was of how Conte has much to do to get this Chelsea transformed into something resembling his Chelsea. The manager spoke after the defeat to Liverpool about how we must remind ourselves that the Blues were a mid-table team last season.
Fantastic comeback!! Good effort all the team. Come on Blues !!
