The first sign of Conte’s frustration came when he was asked whether the fans would get their wish for Spence to start ahead of Emerson Royal, following the Brazilian right-back’s red card againstat the Emirates on Sunday.“The fans have to be fans,” Conte said. “The fans are the fans.

If I didn’t decide to pick one player it’s maybe because he’s not ready. We are talking about a young player with a good prospect, but I repeat I try to pick the best team.” Ever since Conte famously described Spence as a “club signing” in the summer it has been clear he did not see him as ready for the first team.
