The side pics itself... The only 2 questions are wether Davies or lenglet starts and is it worth risking kulo from the start or give him 30 mins at the end., Its always nice to cause fat Frank discomfort... A solid win and a clean sheet would add to it
 
That's not the point I'm making, and you know it...

You're a very naughty boy!

With Kane, it's hard for us non-PL-footballers to understand which positions result in the most fatigue. Sudden sprints aren't really his game, and he surely can't cover the sort of ground that a 2-man midfield has to, so perhaps he is fine to play 2 games a week for a while, perhaps coming off for the last 20 mins in any game where we are winning comfortably (is there such a thing for us? :) ).

Slight side-note - the other day I saw a related conversation on FB where several people's opinion was basically that players are paid so much money that they should be fit to play 3 times a week if necessary. How does that work? Do these people think that players purchase energy, or eat their money to gain energy? Note to self: ignore anything on FB that isn't family & friends (actually ignore most of that too) and perhaps the Alan Partridge groups that provide me with daily giggles. :)
 
Well as it stands he'd be playing tomorrow, then vs UTD on Wednesday, then vs Newcastle on the following Sunday, and then vs Sporting on the next Wednesday, then vs Bournmouth on Saturday 26th.

Surely we need to rest him for one of those matches and play with Son, Richarlison Kulu, and rest Son for one of the other matches too?
Rest Vs Everton, gives him every chance of being on it Vs Man Utd, Toon and Sporting.
 
What Conte has been saying all season and in pre season that we need to make substitutes and rotations without dropping quality.

Seemed when we took off PEH and Bentancur vs frankfurt there was a drop off with Skipp and Bissouma. we then looked all over the place vs a 10 man average side.

Skipp and Bissouma both lack match time, to gain confidence and get with the pace, so it's like a catch 22 thing with them as well as resting Kane, it's risky if you do, it's risky if you don;t.

it won't be as bad when the domestic cup matches start we can then ease them in/out against any teams from the lower leagues.
