Too soon for Bentancur I think.
Don't think he's even in the UK yet.
Yeh, think he's expecting to get his today, but won't be with the squad until tomorrow.

Personally would start Son, and then a toss up between Stevie and Lucas.Lloris
Romero
Dier
Davies
Doherty
Skipp
Hojbjerg
Reguilon
Lucas
Son
Kane
Kulu on the bench. Toss up between Bergwijn and Son depending on fitness, and between Doherty and Royal as they are both much of muchness.
Been fucking insane how long it's been since we've had a game!
Actually getting excited to be setting off at 4.30 on a Saturday night and not get home till about 1am just so we can watch the team!Seems like an age....
Royal over Doherty for me. At this point we know 100% what Doherty is, and it ain't good enough. Have to shift and replace in the summer. We need to see as much as possible of Royal between now and June to see if he's worth bringing back as backup or if, he too, needs to be on the scrap heap.Lloris

I think we've seen enough to say this :Royal over Doherty for me. At this point we know 100% what Doherty is, and it ain't good enough. Have to shift and replace in the summer.

LolExcited to have players back and new signings in until 7pm Saturday where Conte lines us up with this:
Gollini
Tanganga Sanchez Davies
Emerson Winks Hojbjerg Skipp Doherty
Kane Bergwijn
GUARANTEE IT
You don't think they'll sign Doherty? I honestly can't imagine him being here in September.I think we've seen enough to say this :
RWB not good enough.
RB good enough.
It just depends what system Conte wants to play.
Let's be honest here, he's not getting sold this summer or next January.
Conte is going to play wing backs and Doherty is better than Emerson in that role.
No that's not what I'm saying. Doherty will leave in the summer.You don't think they'll sign Doherty? I honestly can't imagine him being here in September.
That has been down to conte whose played at LWB a number of times then RW. If he can stop playing politics with his team selections and just concentrate on picking players in their preferred positions.No that's not what I'm saying. Doherty will leave in the summer.
At the moment if Conte wants to play wing back then Doherty should play. He's more effective.
We need to start using the players in their respective positions. Doherty isn't great but any good things he has done have largely been as a RWB.

Yeah I agree to a certain extent, due to the relative lack of action in the transfer window. I can't imagine Kulu will be put in to the xi straight away, but I could be wrong. To be honest I'd rather Hojbjerg wasn't in the xi, recent form Hojbjerg that is, but with this new lad in CM not being ready to start Saturday and not knowing what he's like, it's either that or a CM pairing of Skipp and Winks, which has its flaws.That is a depressingly familiar and staid line-up, with respect to all.
It certainly does not get you excited.
