And this is pretty much what happened. bissouma had a dreadful game today, and hojbjerg was limping about for the second half.I prefer bentancur to all of those. And Skipp has it all to prove again.
If conte wanted to rest hojbjerg tonight, who might he trust to partner bissouma in a derby game? He will look at that bench as he did last season, and think I dont fancy any of them.
In theory bentancur could be out for a month, and already we dont have easy rotation options. In theory, the window is not yet closed of course.
Conte said pre game that he should be fit for the weekend.Any news on his bonce?
We don’t have strength and depth in midfield with PEH, Bentancur, Skipp and Bissouma vying for two positions?And this is pretty much what happened. bissouma had a dreadful game today, and hojbjerg was limping about for the second half.
Yet conte looked at his bench, and decided to keep them both on for the full 90+mins.
We dont have strength and depth in midfield and bentancur cant come back fast enough.
Trouble is, the injury has been formally declared as concussion and that means he's out for a min of 6 days, as I understand.
Even though Bentancur was out and Skipp was not yet fit enough to start, we still managed to play Bissouma and PEH. That's depth right there. If you take two decent CMs out of any team, they will not have 2 replacements AND options of similar quality on the bench. Unless you're Real Madrid...We don’t have strength and depth in midfield with PEH, Bentancur, Skipp and Bissouma vying for two positions?
Conte also loves Skipp but may be that he doesn’t want to push him back too soon?
Needs to be £71m for some media and pundits to see the greatness in him.£17m was absolute daylight robbery
