Conte repeatedly warned in the buildup that Doherty and Perisic are not quite ready after their injuries. He was never going to start Spence.
No point taking risks. This XI got us 4th place so let them get on with it.

We need to be able to bolster thst starting line-up but it's although more than decent.
It's funny in a way because all day long I would swap this team for the one, peak Pochettino.
COYS.
Best transfer window in history!

I can understand the logic in doing this but it's disappointing that none of our new signings are starting.
Ah yes because those players were specifically signed for the first day of the season, I get it now

Being cautious about injury. As per press conference.
Easy money!!
Absolutely , they done us proud at the end of last season ,just keep it going!
I think it's a good idea to start players you are most familiar with for an opening game.
2-0 Kane with both.

I'm okay with everything bar starting fucking Royal again, that's depressing.Ah yes because those players were specifically signed for the first day of the season, I get it now
Everyone gets a clean slate for me!
No justified loyalty to the players that went to City and Liverpool and got 4th. I'd have been pissed had he started any other way. Its time to earn your place.
Liverpool draw. So it’s gonna be between and city this season. Let’s go :contelol:
Who else would he select? Perisic can also play as a forward which may be needed with Richarlison out.
Lavia who starts for them reminds me a bit of Tanguy in the way he plays, but I actually think he gives a fuck.
Interested to see how he goes against our midfield.

There’s 5 subs. Calm down. The season hasn’t even started.
It's a mistake.
But 5 subs gives us extra flexibility, I suppose.
