**** OMT Tottenham Hotspur vs Brighton****

So you know thats the reason Conte has had issue with him? That the rhetoric part

Plenty who have played more have played worse so if that was the case, in the case of fairness, he would have had problems with alot of others.

As I say, lets judge it for what it was, his 2nd start in 12.........
Yes hence why he hasn’t played him
He talks about trusting players and I don’t believe he has ever mentioned Bissouma in that context yet
He has most other players
 
What did he do in training to tinkle Conte off I wonder?!
I'd stick with him. Looks like the player that was a Wolves.
He does fill the same space in attack as Kulu though.

He's not tinkled off conte.

Conte said he isn't stupid, he sees more of the players than anyone (training) and picks the best team. Doherty was his first choice last season but since the injury he felt emerson was better.

He has not mentioned every individual in that context, a couple yes, so Bissouma not being mentioned means nothing in those terms.

It was the comments about "not wanting to lose" if he play Doherty that were confusing.
He just said in post match interview about this being Doherty's first game without injury this season, so sounds like that's what he was referring to.
Almost like this is the first time Doherty has been ready for a full game.
Which might explain Royal starting too.

So why isn’t he playing him?
He know he can pass better but he has also seen tow starts and two average performances

Why is he not playing anyone or making regular changes? He is not on his own with that, we have seen a bang average PEH, Royal, Son and Kane hold down their place week in week out regardless, so all these third rate back of a fag packet theories have their holes.

My point is his performance today was ok and is rusty as to be expected with only 200 mins of football this season, including tonight.

I saw alot of him last season, including when he busted up our midfield like they were kids and he is alot better prospect than what we have, and yes before you say "Conte knows best" I still stand by that, because he is better than PEH every day of the week
 
Yep
He was awful there
He could have really hurt us as his first touch is poor
It does seem like Richy has gone off the boil completely.
When you think about his first appearances at home to Southampton(?), Chelsea away , Marseille at home.
He really does seem to be getting worse and worse the last few games.

Weird as PEH allays every game for us
And crops up in so many areas
I like bissouma… I can find the post I made over 2 years agai about how good he was (didn’t need to watch last year). But he has to get his brain in the game with his passing and tackling
 
Great interview from the Brighton manager:

"I made a mistake in the first 20 minutes."
"I thought Conte would play 3-4-2-1, but he changed to 3-5-2"
(@IulianSteaua that's 5-3-2 to you, just 3-5-2 to the professionals)
Right wing BACK, Left wing BACK

Right wing BACK, Left wing BACK have primarily defending roles. Just like central BACK, left BACK and right BACK. If they were midfielders, it would be left MIDFIELDER and right MIDFIELDER or right and left wings without the BACK în them. It's literally în the name.

Left or central though
Different role in a differnt game
He isn’t a finesse player and more a battering ram

True, looks more like the player we faced in an Everton shirt.

He is getting shuffled around a lot though.

They don't have primarily defending roles, it depends on what the manager wants from them. Some setups see them mostly defending, in others they have a much more attacking role.
I'd suggest you move past having "back" in the name and actually look at what the players are doing on the pitch instead of having a preconceived idea of what they do.
