The positive thing with Traore is he will always be part of the opponents game plan.. He will be man marked by at least one defender and sometimes two.
This takes players out of the game and allows more opportunities for our attacking players.
Royal and Doherty are left alone as opponents don't see them as a threat.
Against Watford recently, Royal had half the pitch to himself time and time again and they were happy for him to have the ball as his crosses were shocking.
This allowed their defence to concentrate on the threat in the box.
With Traore he will drag players out wide leaving gaps.
If he can improve his delivery and goal contribution (which he will under Conte) he will be an asset.
