The Argentine was speaking in an interview on Chelsea’s website, a few days after the match which was played on Saturday, October 21, 2023. He said the team needed to change the way they attacked the game against Arsenal.

‘We needed to change the shape and the strategy to attack. We tried to have superiority in the middle with Palmer and Conor Gallagher stopping the centre-backs having a reference and getting them into the midfield zone.”
