Could be Conte saying to Richy..

"Go on then... fucking show me"
Would be nice if he could recognise how ineffective Son is at the mo though.
Although Kulu has been pretty bad, he still offers more than Sonny, who has been terrible all season.

Hope Richy had a fire in his belly now and has a great game.

An even more ineffective Richarlison on the right with a very out of form Son on the left. Not greatly looking forward to seeing that if it's what the team turns out to be.

Son has had so many chances to try and play into form with no luck so a bit harsh on Kulusevski when you take that into account.

Both Kulu and Son have been crap all season, however, Son can still bang them in or turn it on in ways that Kulusevski can’t. He also looks like he’s lost any pace he had last year and it was something like 5/6 crosses against Milan went straight out of play under no real pressure.

Based on what evidence?

Son has scored 1 goal all season in games he has started.

Deki has 2 goals in games he has started.

Neither are covering themselves in glory, but there is nothing to suggest Son is better.

Based on Son being the vastly better player, golden boot winner from last year and someone that can turn it on, even if it has been from substitute appearances this season. It’s dishonest to say they are equal and you’re ignoring how wasteful Kulusevski has been, cant beat his man, cant cross, looks drunk.

It's all opinion but for me, Kulu offers more to the team than Sonny at present.
His pressing, passing and control, while not great this seaon, are better than Son who has been terrible in pretty much every aspect of his game.

Will be very interesting to see how this plays out. It'll show whether the players are still behind Conte. Starting Richy is a big risk. Player moans in press and starts the next game is maybe not a good look for your authority in the dressing room.

Want to win 4-0, play with a swagger and lay down a marker for the rest of the season.

Suspect we'll continue to play with the handbrake on, and draw or lose by 1 goal.

I actually think we’ll win this today and probably quite comfortably in the end
Probably, I mean we've just bottled all the important games and we need to give the impression that we'll get top 4 (we won't).

It's hard to be motivated, even when we've won this season I can't say I've enjoyed it that much.

343, no subs until the 70 minute mark and Peresic and son playing despite being awful this season. Turgid football, slow build up, sitting deep if we get a lead......

Please let the next manager play some entertaining football for the love of God.

What Son did last year has no bearing on who he is as a player this year.

I think Son is a much better Sub these days who can come in for 15-20 minutes and run at tired legs. And Kulu is a much better player to help bring the ball forward, and link up play, than Son.

I hope it is a great game for all of you going. I listed my seat while trudging back to the station in the pissing rain on Wednesday. I’ll still watch at home but have other things going on as well.

COYS. Decent win and a few goals, please.

Much more, Son gives the ball away all the time. He offers a threat in front of goal, but that's it really.

Kulusevski every day of the week. His all round game is so much better, in reality I'd like to see Danjuma as neither son or Kulusevski deserve to be on the pitch on current form.

With Porro playing Richy can play more inside so it could work.

Where is the creativity though? We have runners in Porro and son but with no Kulu that only leaves one real creative player in Kane.

Another war of attrition beckons.

I’d love to know what games you guys have been watching Kulusevski in, Son has the higher overall rating playing at home but they have been equally bad over the entire season with Son losing his ability to dribble past people, which was one of his main strengths and Kulusevski giving the ball away due to a bad touch over 3 times per game.

We have the stats to look over, both are bad, just one player was world class and I’d rather risk him on the chance he discovers that ability, even for a brief moment.
