Timo shocking.

This game should be done by now. Newcastle is horrible.

That is not one incident, like I mentioned examples it happened many times. And this is most simple passes we are talking about. I never heard people praising Mount's passing so this is new to me and the reason I posted Frank's quote. Before it was always: he's a motor, engine, V8, nitro etc... And I agree with that. But passing I really don't remember one wow moment? I really like those long diagonal passes because they look good on eye and are effective. I remember even Zouma, Rudiger doing this this but not Mason. Imo in passing he is only better than Kante in our midfield.

That simple pass for Werner against Spurs has nothing to do with creativity. I would expect Zouma to make those.

I just said Mount played 8k more minutes in pro football. Some of that in Vitesse and Derby. He is older so it is normal. CHO would also benefit from loan somewhere. I think in team like Benfica for example he would put Sancho numbers.

But you need to look from bigger picture. CHO just turned 20. Already scored 10 goals for Chelsea plus 11 assists. This season when he started in Russia and against Palace he had good games. Also great 45mins against WBA in the second half when we scored 3 goals. In other PL and CL games he got 1, 15, 10, 17 minutes. What can he do in that time? In Carabao Cup he was not good but not terrible either. Do not forget he played just around 3000 minutes in pro football. Mount for example played more than 11k minutes. This is more than 2 full seasons. What is going to be his level in 2 or 3 years? He and James are two players worth waiting as much as needed. If we ever have Salah, KDB situation it is most likely going to be CHO.

So Kai will be on the bench?

Pressing ok, but quality passing? Since he is here, I have never been impressed with his passing skills. 65 games for Chelsea 3 assists from open play. Against Burnley when he took corner and ball came back to him so he had another chance with all the players in the box, against Championship team this season in 6:0 win where Tammy should take all the credit for that first Havertz goal and in the last round last season against Wolves which would be his only assist in his Chelsea career you would expect players in his position to have regularly. We all remember Spurs this season when he had easy pass for Werner but he failed and this happened many other times: Arsenal FA cup final, City in the league...

Yeah, Messi next summer very possible.

Havertz not match fit? What does that even mean? He could do fitness training at home plus kick the ball in the backyard. Players not with NTs also had off. So Azpi and others are also not match fit? BS... Ronaldo and other players with Covid returned and made impact in the first game after tested negative. Frank is so weird with this kind of stuff...

Saul did not play for Spain for one year now.

Werner, Abraham and Havartz in urgency can play CF. We don't need replacement when Olie leaves. But for next season Broja can be that 3rd striker.

Should obvy be a starter with Havertz and Kante in our squad.

Kova and Giroud both with a brace. Henry is so done on all time list by Olie.

Giroud, Kovacic, CHO all scored in the first half tonight. Yes, Germany is horrible lately and obvy Rudiger is not a reason for their defense.

Just scored. This is rare.

It is so hard to judge him in WBA for now. He did not do anything offensively but I feel he did not even had a chance when I watched.

Well, Frank is crazy if he rest Silva with Ben out! Rest him in France a couple days later.
