I agree. I think the cameos he has had so far don't necessarily showcase him and what he can do.
What I have seen so far is a player who meanders around and constantly holds his sleeves! Hopefully when the domestic cups come along he can start a few of those. I think it will take some time.

3-1 Spurs is always dodgy
At the end it was the whole team that got complacent. Emerson gave ball away needlessly led to a corner. Lloris could have done better to deal with the corner.
Kane missed a penalty then minutes later completely fluffed the cross to Gil who was so wide open.
That was 3 starting players.
We had so much control in the game, it's let down by lack of clinical finishing and sloppy passing.

Yep, 343 and in control. 352 and drop in intent but comfortable. Back to 343 with multiple changes and all over the shop.

I would think so as well. But players coming on need to grab the opportunities. Bissouma still not exactly setting his arrival alight. Gil getting bullied always.
The annoying constant is Emerson keeps getting minutes.

Yes... but if we can't rest players at 3-1 against 10-man Frankfurt, when will you do it then ?... it shouldn't have the negative impact it did.

Prime example of why you don't ease it down thinking a game is won. The subs and shape change (Sanchez/Emerson combo of terror, Skipp looks a million miles off it currently) and our ill-ease at controlling a spell of the game with possession of the ball didn't help but the likes of Kane, especially, powered down after an hour thinking it was all done, and then when we did get the gee up you find it can't easily be switched back on again.
Easy to blame the subs, but it's the core components who have been the constants during all the years of lamenting about weak/suspect mentality and game management etc and don't learn. Hope Conte is bollocking them first.
Dodgy start, very decent hour or so, calamitous ending.

Really sorry for Gil, Kane of all the people sending in a cross like that. I would fully expect Royal or Sess to do something like that but not H.
so poor last 30, failing to control the game when 2 goals up and an extra man. shocking really. lost the plot when bentancur went off. spence should have also replaced royal but conte is too stubborn and it nearly cost with royal contributing to their 2nd goal. i dont think i know any other team that would do what i just saw last 30 . shame really because first 60 was pretty good

Bissouma is a fantastic player. He's obviously finding it hard to adapt to whatever Conte is asking him. But he'll come good, he's a brilliant midfielder.
This was literally his first minutes back after a serious injury...

Don’t get me wrong, I really hope to see him soon as well, but if he isn’t getting a chance yet, I’ve got enough faith in the manager to trust there’s a reason.
I’ve seen this too many times now, even going back to the days of people on this site calling for the likes of Rohan Ricketts and Mabizela to be playing, with all the same arguments, couldn’t be any worse etc. Their careers didn’t exactly take off when they left us.
