Liverpool coach Steven Gerrard has launched a scathing attack on Antonio Conte's Chelsea after their thumping by Roma.

Chelsea were hammered 3-0 in last night's Champions League clash with Roma.

It could have been even more for the home side if Thibaut Courtois hadn't pulled off a magnificent save late on.

Calling the game for BT Sport, Gerrard took no prisoners.

“That's up there with the worst I've seen of Chelsea since he's come in, defensively all over the place," he snapped.

“They haven't had a settled back four for ten, 12 games. They seem to be changing it week in, week out.

“He doesn't seem to know his strongest three, what positions they should be in. Gary Cahill's one minute left centre-back, then he's right centre-back.

“The Chelsea sides over the years are always strong defensively, they know what they're doing, they're all in the same positions and it's a solid machine. At the moment it doesn't look nowhere near that."

The 3-0 reverse marked Conte's joint-heaviest defeat since arriving at Stamford Bridge.
