Think we are all going to have to get used to 3 at the back. I've never been a fan of it either but Conte knows it better than anyone.

Ali G said a few weeks ago to expect 3 4 1 2 in the coming games so that should address the creative issues. If GLC is out and he has trust issues with Ndombele then we may have to wait.

I dont have an issue with 3 at the back it's just you have to have a creative player in that three with Kane and son

Hope not to see 343
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I dont know
I just hate having two wide forwards as well as the wing backs, leaves the midfield wide open and doesn't help the creativity issues especially with Lucas and Bergwijn the players likely to play in the front 3.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps Berg could play as a wing back? It's not like he offers much in the final third anyway, and he tracks back quite well.

Our wing backs do need a better goal output in the Conte system

Raphina and Rodrigo apparently missing for them. No Raphina, Rodrigo, Bamford, Ayling, Koch, or Firpo. No excuse not to batter them today.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s hugely concerning for them, Raphina is class.

Is this Contes first prem game for us?

Cheers Rapt. I somehow forgot about the Everton game

I need to lay off the leffe

Winks and Tangana come in for Skipp and Romero.

Tanganga*

Rodon really is a outcast

I don’t get why?? He looks decent and promising.

Surely more experienced than Tanganga

Holjbejrg and winks

Winks? Not sure Conte is right in not taking this game seriously.

What is winks and lucas, meh

Winks could be a much better player under Conte

Let’s hope so

At least Rodon is the bench. Some progress as it was not on there last time.

Think he just doesn't trust Ndombele

Must have shown something in training. With Skipp out it was always going to be him or Ndombele. Especially with GLC out

Conte will only pick players who train 100%. It's well known Ndombele is not the greatest of trainers.

Back 3's perfect for Davies and Tanganga. Just need one to go in the middle.

Definitely would have been Lo Celso starting, if he had been fit...

NDombele must be thinking that he’s 4th choice now!!

Embarrassing that Winks gets in ahead of him!!
