Yeah we did. Skipp is injured, and Winks didn't play. This was the squad that beat City, a few days ago.
Also since Conte has come, he tried pretty much every single player out there, and rotate and try them all.
Yeah i'm sure an unknown person like you(this ain't a insult, cause you are unknown to me) knows better than a World Class manage which is the best available players to pick.
Not to mention he is every single day with them, train them, and see them on the training ground, which play huge role if you going to play or not.
If you were touching football, you would have known that.

I noticed you've retrospectively added a load of rambling nonsense to your OG post here.....


"Best XI" contains your "best" players.

Deal with it.

We could play Tanganga or even Sanchez as RB, they are better defenders than Royal or Doherty.

We could but that still isn't ideal.

More trying to fit square pegs into round holes and just hoping these square pegs work better than our other square pegs.

At this point I guess we have no other option but sure would be nice to be able to put round pegs in those round holes like well run clubs do.

It would be.

Skipp has been very good for the most part but still is a 21 year old in his first season in a top level league. Having him as our best MFer is not good enough.

Neither Bentancur or Skipp get into any of the top 3 clubs MF's. Not sure they get into United's MF and would be in a fight to get into Wolves or WH MF as well.

Our first choice MF 3 of Skipp-Bentancur-PEH/Wanks is definitely in the bottom half of MF's in the PL and nowhere close to the top clubs in the PL.

How are you feeling today, mate?

You must be absolutely devastated Antonio has so brutally called your man out and invalidated every argument you ever put up in defence of ENIC.

Seriously. I feel for you

25 million . 25 fucking million pounds that humans use. For services of Emerson Royal. Its fucking mind boggling. We did try to fix the RWB problem but did such a terrible job at it. Whoever oversaw that transfer should be fired instantly.

I know it has been talked about plenty and I am no fan of any of Trippier, KWP, Aurier but it is amazing that we have downgraded every time at the RB position despite having crap options to start with.

The RB situation really highlights the problem with trying to go with cheap punts instead of bringing in quality.

It would be hard to do as bad a job if you were actively trying to sabotage the club than we have done with the RB position. The fact we have bought two RB's in the past summers and still need two RB's says everything we need to know about this club.

I think thats what Conte was talking about how this club tries to buy prospects instead of ready players. A young Brazilian righback from barcelona for only 25 million? In a few years he could be worth 50! Instead of just buying someone who has actually established themselves as a real RB/RWB for 4-5 years.

Conte is exactly what we need at this club. Proper mentality, hates to lose, wants to fix the situation. Shows the right emotions and quite frankly I want to see this in public so I know what the feeling at the club is.

Anyone saying his tactics were wrong or he's not good enough need to give their head a wobble. If you think a change of manager is going to make a difference you're delusional. We've brought in a top coach, as far as I can see he's been backed and as long as he continues to be backed we will have a Klopp situation where we will be successful with the right players brought in.

I'm not writing off this season either.

“As far as I can see he has been backed”. Hilarious
