Sarri was actually great with youth. RLC was amazing, CHO great and he knew when to play him, even Ampadu got fair amount of chances. If he stayed I could see him using James and Tomori but not Mount and Abraham.

What Frank is trying to say to Callum is basically this:

Did Frank forgot he was our best player against Bayern just recently? And he had good cameo on Anfield.

Great solo action by Gallagher before penalty for WBA. 2:1

Any WBA streams? Ivanovic and Gallagher playing, would love to see it.

Looking at our squad 4-2-3-1 is the way to go. Bayern is the best team in the world with this formation and based on yesterday even Pep is joining.

Lampard is my all time favorite player. I do not rate Mount as a player, is that not allowed? I see many others are joining the club. I would be ok with him being squad player and having same treatment like others. But I never post abusing comments. I just make fun in a sarcastic way about Lamps-Mount love story so no hate. Abraham got his chance from the bench and Werner is playing both games 90mins so Olie is 3rd choice now.

With Emerson on the way out I hope we play Maatsen.

Not surprised at all. He always liked to cheat.

No. Giroud from sitting in the stands to becoming our 1st striker scoring every game and now he is back where he started - 3rd choice. Jorginho from being starter, we played his best system earlier last season to be dropped behind Gilmour and now again he is our captain starting. Many other examples... Formation, positions of players, lineups... He has no idea.

Looks like he is doing that mistake right now with CHO. Before season I was sure that he will be 1st backup for both Ziyech and Pulisic. Now with both out he got 10mins in 2 games?! Also about training I think this is the issue. We heard many times that Mount is working so hard on training (coming on day off etc...) and CHO is probably just doing normal like others. So Frank sees this and thinks: I cannot bench Mason because he works harder than CHO and others. But I think this is wrong. Determination is great but do not ignore talent...

During Liverpool game I noticed how focused he was while looking shit he needs to fix.

According to Transfermarkt we got Morata for 66m euros. Sold for 7m loan fee first year and this summer they paid 56m =63m. Just 3m loss.

And he just embarrassed KDB.

Pool did not look very good. Against Leeds they scored all 4 goals after set pieces (2 pens) and against us they did not have a chance before red card.

Cannot believe there are so many teams who would pay 55-60m for him. Another big transfer for him.

Craig's Bond did show more human vulnerabilities unlike the previous ones.

Based on last 3,4 games Rice played, Bakayoko could do that.

You sound like Frank picks Mount because of his football abilities. We would probably need to wait a couple of decades more to find out in some memoirs real truth. I also don't buy this defensive part narrative. Mount and Willian last season were at fault for some goals we conceded. I don't recall the same with Pulisic or CHO.

So Giroud started last season as 3rd striker. Was out of the team for like 6 months. Then he became 2nd striker over Michy and finished the season as a 1st striker and scoring in almost every game. Without him no chance we would get CL football. He saved us! And now after all great games he is back to where he was. 3rd striker. What message Frank is sending here? Like many said yesterday was perfect game for him. Werner LW, CHO RW and Kai AM. It is clear that this team would do much better. Last season he scored twice against Liverpool and was great in 2:0 Cup game. In 5:3 loss we started with Willian and Mount wide and they were shit. We became instantly much better team when he introduced real fast wingers in Pulisic and CHO. And he learned nothing from that since he did the same mistake again. Frank is so weird with his lineups.

Barnsley and WBA this week. Should be two comfortable wins. We need to score plenty of goals with two clean sheets.

Not sure Mount is suitable for 4-4-2 We should play Bakayoko just for fun. On a serious note, he's probably not even allowed to be in Cobham.

So Frank just used him for Timo and Kai transfers?

How many lives he has? Last season he didn't go on loan only because Luiz decided to leave in the last moment and we had transfer ban. Same now. He was practically gone for Everton but it seems that situation changed with Rudiger in the last couple of days so Fik is staying. It makes sense, he can learn so much from Silva.
