It's so funny when people trot out the "we struggle to break teams down that sit back".
So does every team in world football. It's why lesser teams adopt that tactic to try and frustrate better sides. See how many times Liverpool scraped wins last season as evidence.
Conte's system is proven to work. We just need to upgrade personnel to implement it better.
We have done this with Perisic and Bissouma. It's a shame RWB is still up in the air a bit.
I think we need another rotation option for the front 3, be that Depay, Zainolo, Maddison or whomever. We can't still be turning to Lucas when we need to chase a goal.
I think we will get that player in before the window closes.
Lloris
Romero - Dier - Lenglet
Spence -------------------- Perisic
Bissouma -- Bentancur
Kulusevski -- Kane -- Son
I am hopeful that the above quickly becomes our first XI. If it does then we will have improved significantly on last season.
Having Richarlison plus Maddison, for example, to come on would be amazing depth.
I do think we need to move on from Hojbjerg in the biggest games asap though. He is fine against lesser sides but his technical limitations are too exposed against quality pressing teams.
