Hojbjerg is great in pressing teams, usually in top% when it comes to interceptions. Skipp and Sarr should do well too.

I can presume the whole club, players and fans are really ok if he is to take a longer sick leave to tune his health and mental back a little. We all understood his difficulties. So why not sort it out, take a step back and come back strong. Instead he rushed to come back and now falters, making things worse.

Sanchez is bad too though. He's not considerably better for me.

I don’t disagree… Sanchez is error prone but a good defender. Tanganga is error prone and a rubbish defender.

But if your defence is so terrible, why continue to play a style of football so heavily reliant on it performing at high level? We should be going "fuck it, 4-3-3, let's get at them and at least try to pressure them offensively", but that doesn't happen.
We're wasting an extra starting spot on these inferior players in defence, and in doing so basically handicapping the team before kick-off. If you have one good CB at your club, surely you don't turn out three in your starting 11 every single match? There's no logic here with these decisions, it's just inflexibility and stubbornness.

Some people will literally work themselves to death, Conte is definitely one of them even if it’s to his and our detriment at times. It’s also the reason we wanted him in the first place. If our team had the same work ethic we would be playing so much better.

Maybe but I cant see Hojbjerg being a Poch player due to his lack of athleticism

Tanganga was the best CB on the pitch today by a country mile, Dier and Davies could qualify as rubbish long before he does.

I’ve defended him until now, but 3-1 down at ht and not making any changes to 66th min was it? Almost likes playing to get sacked.
part ways amicably and start again in the summer (with new owners hopefully)

Yea, what worries me is when you are actively looking to shift a player then he’s in the squad a week later.
I agree that Sanchez is better than Tanganga but today was a tactics and systems issue. It wasnt about one player but everyone on the pitch. Incompetent defending, impotent attack. I thought PEH and Bentancur did ok and tried their best but clearly Leicester targeted those two as really - they knew we would be outnumbered.
I have a binge eating issue, that performance has made me binge eat

Weird. Because I said he should have started Royal over Porro, and should have subbed Kulu and Son early.
But, sure - let's put the blame entirely on Conte if it makes you feel better. And, we can then blame Nuno. And, then we can blame Mason (for not winning the Cup with this squad), and then we can blame Mourinho for not winning with this squad. And, then we can blame Poch for claiming we needed a re-build, when clearly the squad was good enough.
Players should never be held accountable, when you can blame a manager instead!

Dier and Davies have proven to be, at the very least, capable defenders. Tanganga has not. Ever.

Ideally he would be quick like prime Wanyama but Bentaleb, Mason, Winks were able to play well for Poch.

Ducking excuses people make to cover his crap decisions. He had an operation!! So what? It wasn’t a lobotomy ffs. You telling me he couldn’t see Kulu and Son having stinkers? Or Perisic and not changing anything.
