Exactly. Rashford played last night!
Rashford didn't start or play pretty much every game though. Dier also played last night, he only came off the bench for England. Not every player will need the maximum rest due to how little they actually played high intensity games.

Kane had to start, we have no other choice

Unless he's picked up a knock he will start. Just the though of White/Gil in a false 9 with Harry on the bench is scary. We're playing Brentford away, not Tranmere Rovers ffs!

I'm confident he already put the penalty miss behind him. There's no way someone with Kane's strong mentality let that derail his season/career.

Should mean we’ll have Perisic in the squad against Brentford. Very on brand for him to be back as soon as possible.

No reason why he couldn’t start imo, he’s fresher then all of them, having been getting games at the WC.

I’d hardly call games against Iran, USA, Wales and Senegal even mid intensity. All we’re like a kick around with mates apart from maybe the USA game. The only high intensity game was the French.

What’s the craic with Toney, is he suspended at the moment? Be great if he was…
Doesn't he have until 4th Jan to respond to the 30 new allegations? I assume therefore he'll be available against us but not against Arsenal on Feb 11th. That or they'll have to rewrite VAR rules again to find another way to punish us for being Spurs.

Forster is starting, Hugo on bench.

Perisic is back as is Kane.

Romero will be back for Villa.

All from Contes presser.

Perisic being back is good news. I have no faith in Doherty being good on the left in a competitive high level match as it’s always been terrible beforehand, however he’s clearly in good form right now so him on the right and Perisic on the left will be good

I think Conte plays Davo (and maybe Emerson), but if I ran the zoo:

Forster
Tanganga - Dier - Lenglet
Doc - PEH - Biss - Perisic
Kulu - Kane - Sonny

Probably the most creative midfield/attack we have with the exception of Bentancur in for Bissouma.

Not always. Last time he played lwb was at home to Newcastle last season. Got a goal and an assist in the game ?

I can also see Doc at LWB and Emerson at RWB, with Perisic being used as a sub option for the front three, cos we ain’t got shit in terms of depth.

Thought it was interesting that when Conte said about the importance of having had time to work with the players the first two he name checked were Bissouma and Japh Tanganga. Tanganga has played right centreback in all the recent friendlies and looked decent. I could see him deputising for Romero.
