    I think if we get him in the side with Arnie next to him and Lanzini behind then he should score us plenty of goals, but how many times have we had all of those players available?

    I was interested in this so I looked at Transfermarkt.

    We've had 32 league games so far this season, Hernandez has been unavailable for 5, Arnie for 6 and Lanzini for 11.

    We have only had 1 of the three available on 4 occasions (just Hernandez against Huddersfield, Palace and Brighton, and just Arnie against Southampton). We've had 2 available 14 times and all three available 14 times. So our attacking trio have all been available for 44% of our games.

    But basically, only 3 of Hernandez's appearances have been in games when neither Arnie or Lanzini were available to play behind him.

    Conte didn't say Chelsea should be beating teams "like West Ham", he said
    You must win this game if you want to reach a target, in this case we want to reach a place in the Champions League.
    On the whole I'd agree with him, if Chelsea want CL football they need to win more games

    The quote is from the BBC football gossip column, I wasn’t in the room with him.

    So we won 1-1... reading the first comment on this thread, I think I'll set up as 'Mystic Kuch, fortunes told, just send requests on a ten pound note" ;wink
