Chelsea fans turned against manager, Antonio Conte, on Saturday evening for benching Victor Moses in a 0-1 home loss to Manchester City.
A 67th-minute brilliant left-footed strike by Kevin De Bruyne against his former club saw the visitors walk away with all three points.
With Moses watching from the bench while the defending champions put up a shambolic display, fans of the London club queried Conte’s decision not to use the Nigerian.
Conte made a bad selection today.Why should he bench moses he is the cause of our loss Willian is just useless

Moses didn’t play against Burnley and City. We lost both games. Easily our best player. pic.twitter.com/ocQvh6jNDq

Only Conte mistake, that one I think would have mattered anyway, was not starting Victor Moses. Victor Moses vs Delph, oh my smh

Moses missed two league games this season so far. 2 losses. Both at home

Moses is so underrated in our team but he gives the team so much balance…converting a winger 2 a wingback is no joke…so a shameful game

The mistake was moving kante to the right and Bakayoko and Fabregas in the middle and also leaving Moses on the bench.

Yeah. Conte got it wrong. Moses & Pedro should have started. Michy should have replaced Morata. Hazard should have stayed on ??♀️??♀️??♀️ https://t.co/wRzwDtfl43

You defended deep, gave ball away hastily to defend more like a scared escrow kept Moses out, brought Willian instead of Batsuaye for Morata

Main thing to take away from today is how important Moses is. How can you expect Cesc to work his magic when there’s no runs off him?

Hopefully Conte go learn him lesson from this game. No drop Moses again. Play Azpilicueta for defence. Replace Morata with Batshuayi #CHEMCI
