Also seen Hugo was outstanding again
Hope you had a good one, Phenom!
Bentancur came only alive after change of formation when Conte decided to add Bissouma to the midfield, and go 4-3-3 with Bentancur to the right and Bissouma in the middle and Hobby on the left .
Suddenly, Bentancur turned into a a beast of a player tackling and pressing Leicester left had side, and assisting Son and the forward players too. Also bagged agoal.
3 in the midfield we looked very solid.
I said it on the live thread I'd rather a half fit Romero than fully fit Sanchez and I was proven right 30secs into the game.
Conte made the subs of Sanchez with Romero later on, realising what some of us know already. Sanchez has a mistake in him.
I hope we stick with 3 in the midfield.
Of course, Sonny boys was just on a different level, score 2 worldies the kind of goals, Haaland or Salah don't score.
Onwards and upwards, bring on the NLD. COYS
* Sonny scored 2 worldies the type of goals Haaland and Salah don't score often - It's what is meant.
Are you doing some walking in the Peak District Phenom? I used to do a fair bit around that area.
I am still not overly happy with Conte continually playing with three CBs in home games. He could easily play with an extra midfielder. Really amazed he never ever changes his formation to start games.
Hope you had a good time away mate.
Good article, Son and Boussama changed the game yesterday and it was nice to see a midfield 3 for a while - shame Conte won’t do this more often.
Bentancur is very consistent and easily our best CM

Bentancur has that effortless style about him, in the same way Berbatov did. He is probably our best midfielder at the moment. I like Hojbjerg and think he gets too much stick at times but he does too often have those stupid giveaway passes. He can't seem to get those out of his locker.

I said exactly that about Bentancur a few weeks back
Reminds me of a midfield version of berbatov
Awkward yet smooth style about the way he moves and turns ….he looks like he will lose the ball then drags it back from nowhere
I’m conte persists with two in the middle it has to be bissouma and Bentancur….at least give them a try anyway

Bent and Hojbjerg did really well at the end of last season though but I would like to see more of Bissouma and of Skipp. Conte shouldn't be so afraid to use them, as we saw how things changed when Bissouma came on alongside both yesterday.

Yeah here for a walking holiday thought you would have!
Understand your frustration but it's what has worked for him and the squad has been built for it too. 3 man midfield should definitely be used more though, shame we don't have that one more midfield option of something different.
