Mateo Kovacic

When it comes to the quality element of our team, Kova is at the very heart of it. He may only have signed a few months ago but extend his contract now please Blues.

He has really given Lampard a problem with his form and also given Mount some thinking to do.

He is un droppable right now.

I don't think it's given Mount some thinking to do because although the last two games have been away at better opposition, I think we've missed the attributes that Mount possesses and brings to the team (particularly his willingness to press and his ability to link the midfield and the attack).

I actually think Kova has given Jorginho and Kante more to think about because at present if we revert back to a midfield two (which I think we should in our next run of games), for me it's Kova + 1.

It felt like this same situation a few weeks ago though where it seemed to be Jorginho + 1 and Kova has raised his game further as a result. That level of competition with three midfielders who I don't think would look out of place in any of the top teams is very healthy for us and I think can only help with making sure they all continue to play at the levels expected of them.

Lampard on Kovacic's first goal...

https://metro.co.uk/2019/11/27/frank-lampard-told-mateo-kovacic-needs-score-goals-strike-valencia-11230735/

‘We’ve had a lot of jokes between me and him and the whole squad and him because he’s a player of such quality that should score more goals,’ Lampard said in his post-match press conference.

‘It’s a project for me, for him and the whole staff to get him more goals and he could have scored two today.

‘I’m delighted for him and I hope that’s the start of something new.’

Amazing performance again , but ........

Poor lad. Scored two goals for us and we failed to win both games.

‘I’ve had the celebration prepared for a while because I didn’t score last season!’ Kovacic joked.

‘It’s actually for my nieces. I have two nieces, one of which has Down’s Syndrome, and they do that [hand action] with me a lot. I love her a lot and the celebration was for them.

‘It’s nice when you score and you can celebrate with the family. They have waited a long time but now I hope I can continue like that.’

Mateo Kovacic putting little boys back in their place.

I'm going to put this out there, he's our most important player.

He has to be the first name on the team sheet in every league and CL game from now on, Jorginho and Kante can be the ones rotating depending on opposition.

The latter we should be genuinely considering offers from other clubs. Especially if it's over 100 million. 

Sadly, I think we may be at a point where we need to move on from Kante.

I have to argue that it is more of Jorginho problem rather than kova importance. If Jorginho play, Mount has to play because Jorginho will play as regista and we need another midfielder.

Agreed, although I don't think he's as average technically as made out he will have quite a decline when his engine goes. 

I think a £100m plus offer should be accepted, even from a rival.

Jorginho/Kova/Mount is my preferred trio against lesser sides. That game at Watford was an absolute delight.
