Antonio Conte didn't get the public backing statement from Chelsea that he asked for. So what did he do today for Chelsea's match at Watford? He didn't pick his new centre forward, bought to fill Chelsea's void in that position, when his other centre forward is out injured and the other one was loaned out to Borussia Dortmund.
Spain played without a centre forward a few years ago when they were so good that the football world would have let them do anything and marvelled at how innovative their manager was. But Chelsea? They lost their last match 3-0, to Bournemouth. The innovation they needed was a striker, maybe two, who can score goals.
Watford, who haven't won a match, it seems, in forever (fact checker: they've won one of their last 12) beat Chelsea 4-1. Conte might get that vote of confidence tomorrow, the one that is usually followed by a sacking a few days later.
