Antonio Conte in Chelsea dressing room fury at players after Liverpool defeat

CHELSEA boss Antonio Conte unleashed hell on his players following their defeat Liverpool on Friday.

The Italian watched his side lose their first game of the season at Stamford Bridge and is understood to have been extremely angry about his team performance.

Conte hinted that his players were fearful of the visitors attacking talents and accused them of not playing as a team.

It's still a far cry from the post match rants of former boss Jose Mourinho who accused his then Chelsea players of betrayal after losing to Champions Leicester City at the King Power stadium last December that lead to the Portguese demise in west London.

The Chelsea boss has so far has kept any critique of his squad members within the changing room, however he did lay into his teams defending for both Liverpool goals post match.

Conte was also shocked by how much his side missed John Terry. David Luiz stepped in for the crocked skipper but was the lack of leadership at the back the was of great concern for the Italian who is hopeful the 35-year-old will be fit for the London derby against Arsenal at The Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

Conte is expected to rotate his squad for the EFL cup trip to Leicester on Tuesday night. Cesc Fabregas, Michy Batshuayi, Pedro, Victor Moses and new boy Marcos Alonso all looking to press claims to be regular starters in the Premier League should feature.
