A good read. Antonio Conte had hit a goldmine and he is willing to change his tactics and formation to accomodate his wildcard --- Scott McTominay.

Here's the main part.
Where Gilmour and Folorunsho are yet to start a league game, McTominay already looks indispensable. His work ethic alone marks him out as Conte’s kind of player, having covered more distance in all three of his starts than anyone else on the pitch. The sample size is tiny, but Serie A’s official data puts him first in the league, averaging 11.91km per game.
He has done much more than just run. Among the most encouraging aspects of McTominay’s bright start is how quickly he has found understanding with his teammates Both of his goals arrived from Lukaku assists after he occupied spaces the centre-forward left open by moving away from the penalty box.
Sold off a mighty good player with Man U blood in him.
Pay top dollars for a bunch of lazy bums.
It is not that McTominay is no good, is that managers dunno how to play him in his best position.
He is that false 9 or striker foil, always hungry to go up for goals and create openings for his teammates.
