Been saying for weeks, there's more to this Royal thing than Conte thinking he's our best option. It's the only logical explanation IMO. There's some background bitching going on and it's probably because we signed a youth, didn't sell Royal/Doc and probably something else.
That's a bit childish from everyone really.
Royal is dogshit as an attacker but he does always make an effort, can't knock him there. Never seen him drag his feet and, somehow, his head never seems to go down.
Think I nearly caught one of his crosses today. In the 3rd tier of the east upper.
Spot on. Also the other options Doherty - Romero- Tanganga - Sanchez - Perisic. 10 defenders and only Romero and a 34 yr old Perisic are adequate. I honestly dont think any other prem side, even relegation sides, are looking at those options with any envy.
This 34 year old pressed with about 5x the intensity that Son presses with and about double that again when you compare to Kane.
VAR did look at it and deemed it not to be a penalty ! Certainly looked like oneJust got home from the game. Can someone please tell me if VAR looked at thatfirst half 'non' penalty? We were sat at that end and it was a clear, forceful shove in the back. What's the general, unbiased view? I saw a very clear, undoubted foul in the penalty box.
I thought sess went down under minimal contact. Wasn't enough to warrant falling down like that for me personally.Just got home from the game.

Nothing on him so far.Kane just doesn’t press at all but has other qualities clearly
Any news on Richarlison because he can and does press?
it was a pen. Even the biased liverpool lot at sky conceded they got away with one.Just got home from the game. Can someone please tell me if VAR looked at thatfirst half 'non' penalty?

It was a push though, which means it was a foul.I thought sess went down under minimal contact. Wasn't enough to warrant falling down like that for me personally.
It's literally Beyond beliif!Rather that than the kid in the Liverpool shirt up at the Dispensary at full time shouting "take the L" at everyone who walked past while pointing at the Liverpool badge on his shirt.
Why the fuck is this allowed?
VAR viewed it!!! Absolutely tragic decision.Just got home from the game. Can someone please tell me if VAR looked at thatfirst half 'non' penalty?

Fucking fucking fuck me. The fucking referee gets it wrong and the fucking VAR gets it wrong . Fucking SHIT.There was a so-called review...... How much scrutiny was applied is another story. No notable stoppage..... Ball was back in play within seconds.
Well Spence is no back while Conte is here sadly but agree he should be and Udogie isnt here yet and he'll hopefully be first team quality. I could take Davies as a back up, he's ok. Sess at a push but thats largely on homegrown. We really need to move on Doc, Emerson, Sanchez, Tanganga and i'd say Dier as well. Not seen much from Lenglet to sign him up either. RWB and 2 first team centre backs needed imo.A few starters would majorly boost things, but acting like these lads aren't even good enough for back-up is BS:
??? / Romero / ??? / ??? / PerisicSell: Romero, Sanchez, Tanganga, Rodon
[ Doherty (Spence) Dier / Lenglet / Davies / Sess (Udogie) ]
In the summer the #3 WBs from each side can do too.
I doubt we'll see him drop Kane for Richarlison in anything other than early rounds of cup games. He was reluctant to do so with an out of form Son, let alone with a inform Kane.Nothing on him so far.
I do wish Conte would actually give Kane the ocassional break. A front line of Richarlison flanked by Kulu + one of Gil/Perisic/Son would not be a bad way to go.
