My point is conte said players are tired and squad isn't big enough and he leaves well rested players on bench bats, musonda, drinkwater.

That's fair enough. I wanted Drinkwater and Batsuayi to start too but we got fresh legs in the form of Willian, Pedro, Moses and Rudiger.
We basically played 3 at the back too, with Alonso and Moses pushed as far forward as possible.
It's always going to be that formation. We don't play 5 at the back. They're not full-backs, they're wing backs. And with wing backs, you need the cover of 3 at the back.
Doesn't matter if it's against Barcelona or Billericay, Conte is setting us up this way and it's not going to change unless it's mid-game and we're chasing goals.
