A creative midfielder can’t do much for us if we can’t get him the ball. Conte’s system requires technical center backs that can both pass well and carry the ball forward. They need to be comfortable using their options to commit and beat the first man. We’ve seen Romero do it which is why (among other things) he’s our best defender. My hope is Lenglet can do it as well. Conte just has to be bold and play him ahead of Davies.

It’s no slight on the likes of Davies and Sanchez, but they haven’t displayed these abilities for the most part. Davies does like to carry the ball forward occasionally, but I wonder if Lenglet would be the more complete CB for our system.

This is for Conte to sort out, our pass maps over the past few games have been pretty embarrassing. Romero being out has definitely played a part, but we can’t always rely on him staying healthy.

Yep think you nailed it. Sanchez and Davies are good defensive cover but they can't play out of the back. Sanchez especially when he's first outlet is Emerson.

That's where the team fail big time yesterday vs Spam

Conte has been reluctant but i think it's time for Lenglet and Doherty to get a start
