Yes we played a poor side today but we done a few things that was good to see and things we can built upon. First thing which impressed me was how much possession we had throughout the match and the thing which goes hand in hand with that is the reason why we had so much was the quickness in how we won the ball back when we didn't have it. Kante today was absolutely outstanding for me man of the match by a mile, every time Burnley had the ball he was on top of them. When we had possession he was 30 yards from their goal just keeping the ball moving but whenever Burnley broke he was magically in-between Cahill and JT! He is Makelele with stamina!
Another thing which was good to see is scoring early on, so many times against sides of this level we struggled to break through early but doing so makes them have to try and come out and gives us more space in behind. Our sharpness in front of goal is not quite there yet as to be expected so early in the season but lets be honest it could have been 4 or 5-0 at halftime.
I agree we need strengthening but look at Conte's subs in all 3 league matches, in all 3 matches subs have had a hand in winning the game and/or adding to the game as Batshuayi (pass on the counter to Pedro), Pedro (sensational cross to Moses) and Moses (scored the third) did today. We do have options and not just that it seems as if Conte has got something which makes these players want to put everything into little minutes they get when they come on.
The final thing and arguably the biggest thing which happened today was a ****** clean sheet!!!! I read that's our 1st in 13 matches which if true is absolutely mental! Its a huge thing for the team overall to build on its just a shame there's now an international break because i feel the squad just want to keep playing.
Finally i have to say how delighted i am with the job Conte has done so far, i just ****** well hope the board help him with 1 or 2 signings this week!
