That's what I'm saying. A similar setup to the one Conte deployed at Juve to accommodate Pirlo or he's no use.

He CANNOT play in a 2 man midfield. Hasn't got the legs anymore and makes Kante's job even harder.

This Morata "experiment" needs to be over. He's a CF and should only be deployed there.

Hard to think the officials are worse here than in England.

Musonda has looked much more threating than Willian did in his 65 min runout.

Gift to get back in the game.

That's the difference between both sides.

We're in dire need of new WB's.

Not really a fan of that selection. Morata on the wing and Kante along with Cesc in midfield. Just hope we end preseason with another win.

They seemed open enough for Milan to buy him. Loan deals with obligation to buy are all the rage now.

That would be a luxury IMO. Pasalic could easily fill that role & save us £40m~.

£40m for someone that wouldn't be a guaranteed starter. Money would be better spent elsewhere

Deadline deal, if we're lucky.

He nailed down a starting berth last season.

I don't think he'll do bad with us, but France is another story.

I think Kante would too.

Another one off to City or Utd.

He's definitely come along due to an extended run in a team that finished fifth. We really can't be comparing the two when youngsters are involved. They have to hit the ground running before they have any hope of a starting berth in the long run. One game left to make a notable impression.

Alonso was targeted by the likes of Palace. He's done for against side with some pace out wide.

Big reason behind Iwobi getting a chance is because of who his Uncle is. I don't see Boga ever being offered the chance to play a handful of games and underperform like Iwobi did at times. I personally see him as a useful option and nothing more right now.

Think this game showed we're in need of another experienced CB.

Michy with another goal in preseason. See if we can get an equaliser now

Totally skimmed over Conte's comments, but I expect a 25 minute cameo at least. Don't see Conte bringing him on for 5 mins only.

I expect to see our new signings start tomorrow.

Clearly doesn't mean much when City are spending for fun and PSG are actively trying to buy Neymar for around £200m, despite being hit with warnings recently.
