Because Conte has said he was going to make changes, and as if we wasn’t already playing pretty poorly a mixed team seldom does well. But if you’re expecting the fans favourite Royal/Sanchez right hand side to tear it up then good luck to you. Bournemouth haven’t been bad since they changed manager btw…..You would hope that we would be able to turn over this mob?
No Dier or Bentancur but hardly a team which has mass changes ahead of the prioritised match v Marseille
And as expected despite impressing Gil doesn’t get a chance from the start. Despite Son doing naff all most of the season, Kulu and Richi injured - if not given a chance now he never will be. He will never get a chance to flourish whilst Conte is here, would rather just much defensive changes….6 changes. How many were you expecting?
9 defensive players picked out of 11
I’m sorry but that is a joke
We’re not away at City, Liverpool its Bournemouth
Sensible looking team giving Dier, Romero and Bentancur a rest
Shame we dont have options up top
You may call it sensible but I see any team that starts with both Sanchez and Emerson as self inflicted torture

Cant believe 9 defensive players..!!
Should have played 3 up top with Gil or Spence on the right.
Only real positives are a chance to see Lenglet in the middle and Skipp getting more minutes.
