Doesn't matter who the manager is, this guy always seems to get into the starting 11

We don't have a better option as it stands for the right hand side. Potentially Gil could play there but up to now in his career he's been a left winger so let's say it's not Moura who else do we have that is ready to go and suits paying on the right? The answer is no one with potential to convert Gil into that role.

Erik Thorstvedt
Who do you suggest we play instead of him? I guess we’d start Alli every week if you were the manager.

That would be awful. Dele has no left foot and isn't particularly good at running with the ball or dribbling.

Started great, but the back pass that lead to the goal seemed to affect him badly.
I think he'll be one of the players who falls out under Conte
Emerson will nail down RWB, possibly with Bergwijn and understudy, and I dont think Moura brings enough control going forwards. Gil brings everything which Moura does, but with added ability on the ball, plus presumably we'll actually sign another CF and/or creative attacker in January
Not sure how sellable Moura is mind you. Maybe some middle-eastern bunch will take him in the summer

Is that not something which Gil can bring though?
Also, if we play 3-5-2 like he did at Inter, we probably only need 4-5 forwards. Kane and Son will be two, and assume we sign another out and out CF too. Gil has only just arrived so that's 4...
Perhaps we will stay 3-4-3 and need more attacking players, but I'm not sure it brings the control which Conte likes. When he played 3-4-3 at Chelsea, Hazard and Pedro were in the 3 and they retain the ball well so it brings more control like a 3-5-2. Moura doesnt offer that
Gil doesnt bring everything Moura does. Moura is good at winning tackles, turning the ball over high up the pitch, dribbling out of very tight situations and is good in the air. Gil has shown a couple of flashes, nothing more. He has potential, but is not at Mouras level yet.....

Gil has given Maura a much needed kick up the jacksey
Not if it’s the Champions League final.

He is a threat no doubt about it, some fans have been writing him off since he came here but he is always a danger to opposing teams.

My point was that all week on the internet people were posting who they thought would play in a 352.
No one had Lucas.
Then on the day Lucas gets in there.
well, we didnt play 3-5-2, we played 3-4-3. Had we played 3-5-2, Moura would have been left out.
My guess is that Moura won't be in Conte's starting 11 once Conte has had some time with the team, but lets see what happens

It was impressive for his goal, that he was the guy running back towards our half and touching the ball to Kane, then he spun and sprinted into the space for Kane to lay an easy ball in for him.
It looked so easy, I guess their defence was pretty naive to allow that to happen, but it was beautiful to see a team carved open like that.
PS - The good thing about the 343 is that the wide men in the 4 can quickly link with EITHER THREE i.e. they can form 5 at the back or 5 at the front quite easily, rapidly shifting our formation to 523 or 325.
PPS - Gil and Moura are extremely different players so it is like comparing Ndombele to Skipp.

Maybe because irrespective of the quality he may or not have he continues to bamboozle managers with his effort and work rate. Shame about his end product though.
