And also for the fantastic set of quality options that are emerging.
Every game needs to be seen out but Ange does that very differently to Conte or Jose.
We won’t see extra defenders but maybe CMs that are more experienced in terms i of passing to maintain possession and know when to block certain channels for the opp

Ange's old adebt Jota is leaving Saudi just weeks after moving from Celtic.
Something must have gone down over there then you imagine for them to move him on this quickly.
I guess PEH still goes this window and a CM comes in
He did it well against United this weekend.
Davies, Pierre and Perisic came in and provided a good level of physicality and experience that allowed us to ride out United's final surge. But without needing to throw more defenders on. Just like for like positional replacements.
Did he actually say that? I'm not so sure. I didn't hear him say that in the press conference.
That's exactly what my post illustrated: we are replacing Kane's goals. We are also creating more goal scoring chances, so we don't have to rely on any one player's superb finishing. Could we use a Hazard type of player? Of course. But are we set up to find the 25 non-penalty goals Kane scored from other sources? Absolutely.
Agree with Bentancur due back in a few months too, will he get any game time? Think we could spend the £30m somewhere else and be better for it.
We don't. We need to replace Kane's goals. Not necessarily the same thing.
In my opinion this is wishful thinking and the sort of squad management that has gotten us in to trouble time and time again.
What has gotten us into trouble is trying to find like-for-like replacements, rather than evolving our game.
There's apparently a set limit on the amount of foreign players a Saudi team can use. So there is a rumour according to Reddit that they want to move him on because they have set their sights on a bigger name instead.
If that means moving him to another team in Saudi or him leaving the league all together is apparently up in the air.
Ange loved the guy so maybe he could come in as an additional winger.
Have to give credit for the deals that get done if we want to criticize for the ones not getting done.
This week is huge though. Really need to start seeing movement on outs or you feel like we start missing out on players coming in. Either from other club interest or the selling clubs running out of time to replace them.
The only players that generally move really late in the window are unwanted players or overpriced ones.
But it isn't wrong either.
Kane is a unique player. We are not going to be able to replace his goal output with just one player. Not to mention his assist output. 9 out of 10 players operating in the same echelon as Kane is not going to want to come to Spurs at this time.
We need to get a more proven goalscorer in unless we can get Richarlison firing. But it will most likely be someone shipping 15ish, possibly 20 goals a season. And the rest will be made up for by other players.
Not sure I am too fussed about overpriced players - Players have been going for an overpriced amount since the window has been opened. Much more concerned about overpaying for wages.
I'm not saying one player will replace Kane only that it's ridiculous to sell our only proper striker and being happy with doing nothing.
When have we ever done that with Kane? And who is talking like-for-like?
Messi only got 16 last season in France. It's not like Spain where players score 50 a season
