Think conte wants a new midfield, centre back and another forward

In Conte we trust...but I don't particularly like that team.

If we hadn't played so soon after Thursday I would alright with it but it is what it is. Let do this.

Just glad Everton are missing 4 of their players. That said, they should be fresh. We need to start the same as we did on Thursday.

Conte likes his outside CBs to be able to carry the ball but I guess Rodon can’t do that?

I really don’t rate Davies personally

Sarr didn't start for Metz earlier today. Wonder what the chances are of bringing him in January are?

Both him and Kessie who is another target will probably go to the AFCON and not available until Feb anyway 😏

Neither, he's fine but for a Swansea

It's only a matter of time before him and Dier mess up. Hopefully they will seal their own fates.

I watched Milan the other day and was impressed with Kessie. Milan derby on later too

Not sure he would want to leave in January if they're still in a title race though.

Kane - Son
Reguilón - Ndombele - Lo Celso/Dele - Emerson
Skipp
Dier - Romero - Tanganga
Lloris

Our best side with current crop of players in this system.

Agreed. It would probably suit Levy too as he is free next summer.

I just have a feeling if a deal can be tied up with him for next season and with Sarr coming too, we will not strengthen the midfield in Jan. I hope I am wrong.

Fixed for you.

I am genuinely surprised that Conte has favoured this front three - however all our managers like Moura initially as he gives so much intensity and running and after a while they get fed up of his lack of quality

Youre obsessed

I am surprised Dele has not started yet espeicially after he frauded Jose and Nuno at the start of their reigns with us.

He scored in our last game.

Hojbjerg and Skipp both overplayed and you don't need both of them

Poor quality on the ball

Yeah it's becoming unhealthy. Obviously he plays golf with Ryan Mason so Mason will be putting in a word with Conte 😂

Jose just lost to Venezia

Like I say, I reckon he's just gone for the most physical fit players to begin with. He keeps making the point that the players aren't fit enough. What better way to reinforce that point than by not picking the flair players who aren't as fit.

Plus it's the low risk move when he's figuring out the squad. Pick all the soldiers who will get their heads down and follow simple instructions.

Physically*

It did look bizarrely that Moura didn’t try and take on everybody midweek - however that may only be temporary

I mean, the subtext where Lucas is concerned is that he always loses the ball when he takes players on

Lucas has been designated as today's likely scapegoat I see.

I feel like there's a lot of random assumptions being made in here today. Everyone have a Snickers.
