Chelsea manager Antonio Conte believes the club are at risk of missing out on Champions League qualification yet again this season if they are unable to perform more consistently.

The Blues were put to the sword by a ruthless Arsenal outfit, seeing the game beyond doubt with a 3-0 scoreline at half-time in the weekend’s clash.

With glaring weaknesses pointed out, the Italian knows his side still have a long way to go this season.

“We must improve a lot of if we want to stay up [at the top] and not in the middle of the table,” Conte said following the match.

“But my message is not important. The most important message is the one that arrives on the pitch.

“We must all understand this message, and find very soon the right solution to improve.

“I don’t sleep [after a loss like against Arsenal], I don’t sleep for two nights. When I don’t sleep, I reflect. And it’s important to reflect.

“I got angry at half-time but I prefer to keep my words. There are rules in the dressing room. Sure I was angry but my players were also angry. We were not satisfied with our game, with our performance.

“I have to find the solution very, very soon because against Arsenal we played a very bad game.”
