People said it was Lamps playing favourites, but it looks like Mason is proving them wrong and is on the verge of becoming a top player just like his mentor.

Would he be playing for us right now if it wasn't for Frank? Doubtful, probably wasted out on loan until somebody snapped him up. For all the things Frank did wrong (and we could list a lot), he got this one right.

Whether he'd have made himself an untouchable is a different question but i'm certain he would have found a way in under Sarri, he'd have probably took Barkley's role of either starting and getting replaced by Kova on the hour or being a sub and replacing him at the same stage.

Also doubt it. Sarri was so stubborn that he would have played the same players until retirement, by that time Mount would have been long gone.

I don't agree, Hudson Odoi and Loftus Cheek forced their way in, maybe belatedly but they still did.

Furthermore I think Mount's mentality sets him up as an exception who would have made it though under any manager, even Mourinho.

Inclined to agree.

Sarri was asked about the loanees towards the end of his season and he was interested in 2-3 players but didn't specify who.

I'm guessing Mount and James were shoe in's, not sure about the 3rd, possibly Tomori. I think he would have come to a similar conclusion with Tammy as to what Tuchel did.

Pretty sure Zola said something similar too that they were planning to bring some back.

Mount is almost a certainty, especially with RLC getting crocked at the end of the season.

Very possible though it could have been Tammy because if Higuain wasn't being resigned, we would have only been left with Giroud. So you almost would have been forced to bring back Tammy or Bats.

I think it's safe to assume Higuain would have stayed another year under Sarri. I wasn't as against it as most and i actually felt there were times last season where we could have done with his movement to stretch deep defenses (especially around winter time when so many fodder sides kept shutting us out comfortably).

how did this guy did against Arsenal.  Mr Undisputed

Should be taken away from corners. Just pure mathematics. 

Mount 126 corners 3 goals 

Chilwell 26 corners 1 goal 

James 26 corners 1 goal 

Ziyech 19 corners 1 goal 

Ziyech is known as one of the best set piece takers in Europe yet we didn't gave him a chance to shine.

Especially considering the fact that we have Zouma in our team that is probably the best player in the world when it comes to scoring goals from set pieces like corner kicks or indirect free kicks.

The "anti-mount" brigade at it again, it's becoming pathetic guys...  😅

His corners versus Arsenal were bad, true, but he's usually a good corner shooter, moving on.

He is a great propect and on his ways to world class but his corners have always been average at best. Not that he can't work on them,he surely will improve but in the last 2 seasons his record from corners is kinda poor.
