Best moment in the game *Gareth Bale obnoxious heart sign here*
I've been impressed with Kevin Stewart (LFC player), as well as Reuben Loftus Cheek (Chelsea). Nice seeing British academy talent coming through. Conte played Loftus Cheek as a striker?!!

He's (another) midfielder coming through Tottenham Hotspur's academy, but Pochettino seems to want him to play as an LB. It happens. John Terry was a midfielder who got pushed further back in his career
*Frantic shaking of head* Noooooo.
