    Bissouma too, considering Hojbjerg was terrible in the first half against Wolves

    Conte making it hard to get into the starting 11. Solid management in the classic tradition.

    He can't hide behind the 'last years players know the system better' rationale for much longer...

    The likes of Richarlison and Bissouma will be so over-eager when they do get a chance they may be trying too hard to make an impression.

    But tbf, I'm not going to start doubting Conte just yet! <laugh>

    Kane has to put that away. Strangely indecisive for him.

    Hojbjerg’s started brilliantly, won two big tackles, blocked off the Forest player through on goal and should have an assist to his name.

    Missing relatively easy chances. We could've killed this already.

    Fair to assume that at some point, sooner rather than later, the new players will have trained enough with the squad to fully cognisant of the coaches methods and expectations. If not they should be shipped out, I would imagine.

    The sooner a starting XI gets a game done and dusted,
    the quicker the manager can start making subs.

    The buildup to the goal was interesting: Deki came inside and Kane drifted right, while two defenders followed Son to the left

    Methinks we've worked on that...

    This is bad play.
    Where is the hold-up or bringing the ball of defence ??

    Sick of Kane having to drop to play a ball
    his own MF should be capable of.

    Should have stayed onside... And should have finished it anyway.
