Bentancur was bought to strengthen our starting 11. It's mid season, he's fit so starts imo.Southampton were very physical last time.
I think Bentancur comes right in.
This would be the best lineup to deploy for sure.Lloris
Romero Dier Davies
Doherty Skipp Bentancur Reguilon
Kulusevski Kane Son
Subs
Gollini Sanchez Sessegnon Emerson Hojbjerg Winks Bergwijn Moura Scarlett
Hoping Bentacur for Winks and Bergwijn (or Kulu, but don't think he will start already) for Moura.
Think both Doherty/Sess could play as well but not both rotated.
Else it will pretty much be the same.
Would you play Son or Bergwijn on the right? Don't think either have had great games when on that side.
If Moura is being dropped it needs to be kulusevski that plays IMO.
Because he was our best player in the last 2 games? (before Brighton)Yeah not sure why Bergwijn would start.
Really? Nobody really covered themselves in glory vs Chelsea, Kane was pretty good but other than that the rest were unnoticable.Because he was our best player in the last 2 games? (before Brighton)
Because he was our best player in the last 2 games? (before Brighton)
Or go 5-3-2 and add a CM instead.Would you play Son or Bergwijn on the right? Don't think either have had great games when on that side.
If Moura is being dropped it needs to be kulusevski that plays IMO.
Because I think Moura is poor and Kulu might not be ready to start yet.But has he had a good game playing on the right? Or when was the last time son had a good game there?
If you replace a right sided player, surely you replace him with the other right sided player?
...except that Skipp is injuredThis would be the best lineup to deploy for sure.
Moura was really quite poor V Brighton, when he plays like that he's not worth a place in the side.
I wonder if Conte will go for a three man midfield, so essentially dropping Moura for Bentancur. Defence picks it self.
so then
Royal / Sanchez / Romero / Davies / Reguilon
Winks / PEH / Bentancur
With Kane and Son up top.
