I don't think they are going to have much to learn from Conte,they defend as a default setting already but can play with Hazard and willian,fabrigas,i expect them to do well
With a defensive set up and 3 of the more attacking minded midfielders he has, as many as he wants, it's about intensity, focus and results for Conte and he's fucking good at it.Believe it or not Michael Essien's been training with Chelsea this week and even played in a rezzies match against Brentford.
Matic, Kante, Mikel, Loftus Cheek and Essien, how many non creative destroyers does Conte need?

They're slow to start games alright, but he suscribes to the 'if you don't concede you only need to get one' philosophy and I'd expect their defending to improve as the season goes on, while with Hazard, Fabregas, Costa et al on the pitch they'll always be capable of a goal or two.His full backs aren't the most attacking either. There's only so many times you can scrape a win via a late goal, us and the rags look a class above them, so far.
How does Costa not get sent off in his first 2 games?
Should have gone for kicking against West Ham and that dive would have got Tom Daley into the diving final!Because the new directives....you can't pull shirts but if your name is Costa you can do WTF you want
