No one looked good tonight
As always bang ondisagree.
We worked the ball into good areas but then the final pass or crucial touch was dreadful.
Son spent the entirety refusing to run at anyone. Kulsevski came on and did that immediately.
Kane cannot play at that standard if he wants to be recognised as elite level.
We are passive at times but we certainly pushed onto them at the start and certain stages.
How many times did Perisic or Emerson fluff a cross?
When they did put good ones in, Kane and Son are nowhere to be found.
Yep we were a good 2-3 short of what we needed but Conte and Paratici know that it’ll take another 2 or so windows.
Sorry what exactly are you disagreeing with? You think the dross this evening is because we didn’t do enough in the window? You think we can’t compete with sporting Lisbon without another 2-3 windows?? If you’re taking about winning the Prem fine, but as a reason for tonight’s performance is doesn’t wash at allSorry but that’s at best a non sequitur and at worst a bullshit excuse. This is a better squad than we finished last season with and it’s playing far worse. We don’t need 2 or 3 more windows to compete with Sporting
I'd like to see Doherty back at rwb. Emerson offers absolutely nothing.We needed subs 20mins ago....
Hopefully this now forces some changes
He wouldn't start for Bournemouth.mate, Edwards is a world beater to some on here
what worse than Kane, swear he was playing for Sportinghjoberg and emerson awful, beyond awful
Agree! All weak links. Games like tonight show that.Emerson, Hojbjerg, Davies need improving on as soon as possible. Need Bissouma fit, inform and starting for us
Fair enough.Conte can't do anything about certain players continuously having poor touches or wasting good final third play
I'd like to see Doherty back at rwb. Emerson offers absolutely nothing.
Defensively he’s very very solid far more than Doherty and Spence in Conte’s view isn’t anywhere near ready so it’s probably more of a case of he’s the best we have right now, but yea I’m surprised Doherty has barely had a minute yet, we looked a lot better going forwards with him towards the end of last season, maybe his injury isn’t up to speed to start games yet.I don't get what Conte is seeing in Emerson that the rest of us are missing. I don't get why he's gone from being incredibly proactive with subs to full-Poch. I don't get why we look worse than last season with a better squad and a pre-season.
hjoberg and emerson awful, beyond awful
