Why does Sarr not get a look in or Giil ? To my knowledge I thought they were slightly creative. as we seem to lack any creativity whatsoever without Kulu,
I genuinely forgot about Sarr

I forgot, Emerson also needs to goThe ones that need to go are Sanchez, Davies, Lucas, Dier and Sessegnon
On Hugo, I've felt this for a long time but I don't think he is a good captain.I don't know what to say about Hugo.
On Wednesday, he saved our arses from getting a real hiding by bringing out 4 or 5 absolute 'worldies'.
Today, he cost us at least one of their goals and arguably, both.
Somehow, and I have no idea how, we are still in 3rd place but we won't be for long.
Folks, I'm afraid I have to say Sessignon has to go, and he might next season, when we see a real left wing back arrive in Udogie. It's pretty clear, Sess cannot cross a ball, and for a wing back, that's a no-no.
When I saw the team sheet and saw Emerson in the team, my heart sank, but in fairness to him, he was far from our worst player today.
I think we badly missed Hojbjerg today. Hope he's OK and back real soon.
Losing our first home game this season hurts, and it hurts BAD, but Newcash have one of the best defences in the EPL and they're a far tougher prospect than they ever were previously. Their physicality is on a completely different level to ours, and you have to hold your hands up and give Eddie Howe lots of credit for that.
He had 2 very good saves (vs Rashford). The rest were all saves a goalkeeper of any professional level has to make.I don't know what to say about Hugo.

So true but will Levy give funds for the right type of player Conte needs? I doubt it now Uncle Joe has backed down. Our poor form has caught up with us and we are getting caught outYou're not far off.
To be fair you dont need 11 technical passers, it certainly helps.
But Bissoumas ability to glide through the press is another good asset.
Yet, as you state, that number is too low. In Conte's system you need 2 CBs who have very good technical ability, I think Romero and Lenglet are but thats it.
Lloris is a problem in this respect.
ALL of our wing backs are poor or average, although in Conte's system its okay if one is powerful and can be effective in attack. Sadly, they aren't.
Hojbjerg is a good squad player but again he's limited on the ball compared to what Conte has had before.
Even Sonny is weak in this area and Richarlison is more of a flick on type.
Kulusevski is gravy though.
Really good point I can’t think of many teams win much with goalkeeper captains ? Unless it’s world cups of course!On Hugo, I've felt this for a long time but I don't think he is a good captain.
To me his is a bit boring tbh, he wouldn't motivate me and added to that he's either incredible (vs Man.U) or he has a brain fart (today and other games).
I wonder if we made PEH or Kane captain if that might change the dynamic of how we play etc.
What about the stats that say he’s earned us far more points than he’s lost us?On Hugo, I've felt this for a long time but I don't think he is a good captain.

That's true but at the same time you need ample options to make small changes or even so, refine your system.Exactly this. Last season he came in half way through, took a few months for the ideas to get across to the players and it worked. Give it a summer of teams able to look into how we play and it’s easy to negate. We are poor, make no mistake about it. We have been bad ALL season, apart from Fulham when have we actually looked like the better team in a game.
The defence has gone to shit and that was the only plus point. I just don’t see how it changes with the players we have either. They aren’t good enough and if Contes tactics are out dated, we are in big trouble
Our biggest problem is son. Had 1 good game the rest is just shit..needs to be droppedThis concept that it’s all because Kulusevski is injured is nonsense too. He played against Chelsea, West Ham and Wolves at home and we’re complete rubbish in all those games. It’s so much bigger than just missing one admittedly very good player.
I'd honestly be looking at Henderson.On Hugo, I've felt this for a long time but I don't think he is a good captain.

Yep and I think/hope Conte and Paratici will know this.The ones that need to go are Sanchez, Davies, Lucas, Dier and Sessegnon
