So Conte needed to satisfy himself that 8 or 9 fringe players who are not a settled unit are not good enough. This despite all of us seeing the outcome before in Europe. Its like Einsteins rumoured definition of madness. Keep doing the same thing hoping for s different outcome. ( Apparently Einstein never said it ) but you get my drift.
He played Sanchez on the left.
Started a rusty Sessegnon with only a brief sub appearance behind him. Even allowing for his fragility would have suggested maybe bring him on with 30 minutes to go.
Started Ndombele and Dele who both have demons in their heads.
Started Gil who is a kid and not ready.
Played a Championship level keeper.
I can understand starting Doherty.
I'm not sure we needed 3 CBs, is that set in stone now ?
