Some Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to share their reaction to Antonio Conte’s team selection for this evening’s match against Liverpool.
The Italian revealed at Friday’s pre-match press conference that the number of players who have returned to training following their positive Covid-19 test has improved and now just has two players left in self isolation (Football.London).
Conte has collected ten points from his opening four Premier League matches since taking charge but faces a tough ask against Liverpool, who have scored at least once in their past 32 games.
The head coach has had to shuffle his side with first starts under Conte for Ryan Sessegnon, Dele and Tanguy Ndombele.
Oliver Skipp is named among the substitutes, while Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is not included in the squad.
This is how some of the North London faithful have reacted to the Italian’s choice of team which takes to the field at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Apart from Dele and the midfield setup this team is alright and very similar to our last game setup.

First game of Premier League football without Hojbjerg, and it's vs. Liverpool… God help us man we are getting run through in the midfield

Probably one of the worst midfields in the league and we are still fighting for top 4. Conte is a different level.
