Is that Jamal Blackman on the right? Is he still with us?  Isn't he like 40 already or smth.

So odd to see Van Ginkel. I can't remember the last time he actually played for us.

Van Ginkel can still play a huge part for us, i feel it

If he can get himself fully fit, I concur.

Look at James though and his legs, dude is a tank

Will he interesting to see where he fits in under Lampard.

I can't see him taking Mount's place as he suits perfectly the style Lampard wants.

I think he'd be wasted in the 2 deeper positions though. I really do. Think we've either got to go 433 and use him with Jorgi and Kante or play him as a 10. He got a good amount of goals last season by getting in and around the box. Yes he can still do that in the 2 but hes more attack minded, I really hope he plays more advanced.

The thing is i think he's wasted further up, his bursting runs from midfield is his key attribute and playing number 10 or worse up front will give him next to no space.

It's a problem because in terms of how Lampard wants to set up Mount is already a key player but RLC has earned his place with his performances last season from March, i really hope this doesn't turn into a Lampard/Gerrard esque situation of shoehorning both in to the detriment of both's full effectiveness.

He sure does look like RLCs Dad in that pic 😂

We really need him back for the Champ League, we lack strong ball carriers in midfield to relive pressure in tight games like today. A perfect example of his worth to us is the semi final away to Frankfurt last season. His physicality and Technic gave them huge problems. I hope his fully fit by November so that we have him up and running in December.

Really feel for Ruben - having to learn to walk again is mental.

Really hope he can get back to his pre-injury form 👍

Tbh I don't actually think playing the game in itself was a bad thing, there was a two and a half week break between the last PL game and Europa final and that long without a game then going into such a massive one would have caused a hell of a lot of rust (something Conte alluded to in his time here when he explained why he played a lot of the first team in an FA Cup game). I think that match may have actually helped us in the second half in Baku as we looked sharper than Arsenal all over the shop.

However playing it on that pitch all the way in the USA with the one player who should have been left home wrapped up in cotton wool was inexcusable.
