Chelsea losing discipline as fans debate Conte's team selection

Sunday's abrasive 0-0 draw with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge provoked plenty of debate among Chelsea supporters, many of whom were left frustrated by the result. The stalemate meant the Blues lost ground on early season Premier League pacesetters Manchester City and Manchester United.

Discussions are revolving around ill-discipline and team selection. The lack of self-restraint which almost certainly cost Antonio Conte's side all three points on the opening day of the campaign when skipper Gary Cahill and Cesc Fabregas were sent off in a shock 3-2 defeat to Burnley reared its ugly head again against Arsenal.

This time it was David Luiz who was red carded for a lunge on Sead Kolasinac that was as despairing and ugly as Cahill's reckless challenge on Burnley midfielder Steven Defour.
