What a massive disappointment NDombele and GLC have been. So much potential so much ability and yet here we are

Funny how wolves play Traore but we won’t risk Dele Ndombele and Gio being on the bench

Hasn't there been talk of Conte assessing the squad on who he can trust ect.

Those 3 he might not trust in a game, so why have them on the bench?

Stop them from scoring in the first 70 minutes; then bring on Skipp, Lucas and Reggie as fresh legs to try to nick a 1-0 win.
Are you suggesting Conte has looked at the opposition, considered our injuries and player fitness, watched the two recent defeats to the same team and picked a side to play to a strategy, and not spent the morning in the SC match-thread wondering in which way he could wind up the largest amount of people?

He's more of a genius than I thought :)

Imagine us hitting them early and bringing Skipp to shore up the midfield defending the lead, before Reggie and Lucas countering giving us additional lead.

I'm drunk.

The downside is if he succeeds in getting a result, it may lead to stronger arguement from Baldy that the squad is good enough.

I'm afraid my optimism has eradicated after this team announcement.

I'd be very surprised if we take all three points here.

I'd take a draw.

A lot of whining about the team, but there is no other team to pick. Those are 11 of our 16 fit players. The other 5 are Gollini, Rodon, Gil, Emerson and Dele.

Literally the only choices are Sess/Gil and Doherty/Emerson. There is no other
possible team.
So what's wrong (fitness wise) with Skipp, Moura and Reggie?

No I disagree that there are eight defensive players in that team with only Kane and Bergwijn offering an attacking threat.

Yes I disagree with you, and yes you are moaning for moaning’s sake. But that’s nothing new.

There’s nothing wrong with saying that there are no goal scorers in that side outside of two players.

There also nothing wrong with being underwhelmed with the team selection even if circumstances dictated it .

Its not the same thing. Conte has presumably decided that they aren't good enough and so has removed them from the squad.

None of them really add anything anyway. All 3 are very talented but aren't conte players.

I'm happy for all to go if it will bring in some funding for players that conte wants.

Very nice result at the Emirates. Makes me less anxious about our game, which I never expected anything from anyway.
