Chelsea Fans Are All Saying The Same Thing About Moses After Conte Named Zappacosta In Starting XI

Nigerian Player of the Year Victor Moses was surprisingly omitted from the starting line-up in Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town on Wednesday evening.

Manager Antonio Conte opted to rotate his squad with an eye on next weekend's Emirates FA Cup final against Manchester United and deployed Davide Zappacosta as a right wing-back but the decision did not go down well with Chelsea fans.

The Italy international had a poor game and had to be replaced by Olivier Giroud eight minutes into the second half.

If the statistics from OPTA are anything to go by, the Chelsea fans were right after all as the Italian had zero tackles, interceptions, clearances, blocked shots, shots, key passes, dribbles and did not win any foul.

Here are some of the Tweets from Chelsea fans :

@Lukewatts26 : ''Also btw Victor Moses is 100x better than Zappacosta''.

@CharlsmelRamsey : ''and victor moses as well...today's game is bigger dan zappacosta we need experience players who knw how to win games like this and u put zappacosta there...this is a confused coach!!!''

@kahihu_krek : ''Zappacosta over Moses....The conte way!!''.

@Olalekanjosephs : ''And they said Victor Moses was worse, what English do we use to qualify zappacosta.''

@Sandiddle : ''No matter what your thoughts are about victor moses he is still a class above zappacosta''.

@dakaz09 : ''And zappacosta ahead of inform Moses''.

@prayerdhlamini : ''Zappacosta is bad, that's why Moses benches him.''

@Wandytoss : ''So Conte benched Hazard,Giroud and Moses for Pedro,Zappacosta and Willian in a must win game. He is a joke!'',

@Engr_Series : ''My point exactly. Why start Zappacosta when you have an in-form Moses who scored 1 and assisted 1 in the last 3 games....''.

@SamBarrett1666 : ''Two seasons ago, he was the only player who turned up most games...issue today wasn’t him, it was picking Pedro over Hazard, Morata over Giroud, Zappacosta over Moses - making 6 changes to a winning team ain’t gonna bring success''.

@MavestarK : ''I still believe we can make it but im so disappointed with tonight result & team selection. Im always behind Conte but tonight he cost us the 3 points. Pedro must leave our team & zappacosta their waste. Moses should have played.''

@shabanyunusah : ''Hei Conte paaa, a must win game for u and u start your best players on the bench. To top it all, started zappacosta ahead of Moses. Ah!''.

@NinadJane : ''Another thing: We knew Wagner was going to park the bus. What does Conte do? Rests Moses who has had a good run of games and plays a bang average zappacosta, while keeping palmieri on the bench''.

@TheBeIgian : ''Moses been playing out of his skin last couple of weeks and got benched for Zappacosta. MOTM for Hazard against Liverpool and he gets dropped to accommodate the two autistic wingers. Bakayoko dropped after his first solid game. ANTONIOOOOOO''.
