These 3 players don’t fit into Conte 3-4-3
system.
Conte system requires a “Fox in the box” or a “target man” that attacks crosses or tidy up loose balls. Kane is not such a player.
Son thrives when playing out wide and running at players. But Conte system requires him to cut inside and makes runs, pass well and connect with team mates. The widest players are the wingbacks, and not Son.
Lucas’s asset is dribbling but he can’t pass well. But in Conte system, the transition from defence to attack requires quick passing and making runs into space. Lucas is not such a player.
I believe we have to either get rid of Lucas and play 3-5-2 with Kane and Son thriving on an “Eriksen” type of passes or we revert to another formation where Son and Lucas can flourish on the wings…
