Just means he'll start on Saturday. I don't know why people have to say things like this. You've no knowledge of what Conte does or doesn't think...just say you don't think he'll play, trying to invoke "Conte's plans" to lend weight to your utter speculation is silly.
It's pretty depressing when we are on a breakaway and the ball lands with Royal to make a cross...and you just know what is gonna happen. Yesterday he passed straight to the keeper.
However he showed great speed to get across and stop the Chelsea player who would have been clean through.

It took Doherty a year and a half to be serviceable for us, despite not coming from a new league and not having the language barriers.
Im not saying Emerson is the answer, but he doesn’t seem be given the same leniency that most new players are given. He’s also 23 (1 year older than Spence btw), him improving is not beyond the realms of possibility
okay we'll revisit in a month and see if he's closer to playing substantially :contetellmemore:
Such as?
It clear that defensively, Conte still has trust issues. That is why Emerson is still playing. He’s still the best defender we have at the RWB position. Conte clearly prioritizes defense over anything else.
Difference is we saw how good Doherty was at Wolves in back five, then signed him and put him in a back four and expected the same results. As soon as he got a solid run of games as a RWB he looked a different player, it was only the injury that allowed Emerson a way back in. The thing is with Conte we know it'll probably just be a short term thing for a few years (as we've seen in our transfer strategy), Son is 30, Kane is 29, Lloris is 35. These are the last fragments of that sensational team that should have won things, now we've got a manager that can help guys like Dier and Davies look quality. Doherty is better right now and IMO in this short window we can't afford to play players for their potential - in saying that of course Conte knows best and we don't know what they're like in training but that's my view.
He ended up on the ball on two breakaways last week, got the assist for the Kulusevski goal on one and put in the pass that was deflected for the own goal on the other...just saying...
He made the easiest pass you'll ever make which Kulu then did everything with, and then Salisu essentially fell over himself to score an OG. It's not like either moments were due to an excellent ball in to the box or him taking on his man.
Made a very well timed run to get himself into position for that o.g though...but he was played onside by Salisu who was having a massive brainfart at the time...if he can't be good at least he's lucky...just look at his goal last season..
Excellent today, fair play to him. Even played a good ball across the box except richy and sess made the same run and missed it
very solid match, bravo
was probably best player first half, but when youre on top of a team you need a wing back with more quality in the final third. hes a good squad option to have tho as prob one of the better defenders in the squad when we are up against it.
there’s a player in there somewhere but someone needs to tell him to just be decisive and whip in crosses instead of hesitating
He's not a good crosser, better no one tell him that.
