Just make Kante sit and protect, have other MF's beside him. He has no business playing so far up.

but then we would be leaving him alone on an island since if you push Jorginho up further there is no chance he sould do anything on a counter.

I prefer Kova, Jorginho and Kante myself.  Said that all along.  If RLC comes back at his best, he starts over Mason

unfortunately, RLC is not really going to be remotely full speed effective until next season

his Achilles snapped and flayed out like a over wound 12 string guitar (unlike CHO's)

Three players with no end product against a side that sits back. 

Virtually makes zero sense.

If we play like this and they bring their game we will lose.........in any case lets deal with NC first. This is a good opportunity to make the gap bigger.

Given recent form, the chances of them bringing their game equate about as highly as Kepa getting the winner.

Lamp's system is not designed to have that role atm

this is where his inexperience is showing

I really hope we aren't going to end up in a Rooney/United situation with Kante in the coming years (ala he plays no matter what because of how good he was/is at his absolute best).

He shouldn't have walzed back in the lineup after such a convincing win without him last week.

Frustrating thing is even if it is for the benefit of the team, I doubt he will come off. He most certainly will play whole game.

A goal from anyone in blue would be sweet...got a hmm feeling about this game.

Here we goo

[MoroccanBlue 5,187]

We haven't even played that bad. Just lacking in the third which has been a theme lately.

Mount is a poor man's Oscar. Barkley is a better player.

Agree- big test for Frank and Jody 👍

So?

He's a young lad learning his trade and yet gets fucking pelters all the time.

Kovacic is fucking useless coming on as a sub - we have seen that time and time again.

Pulisic ain't 100% 

We are worse without Mount.

The problem is... our options in midfield are not as great as everyone makes out. They are all very similar players in the sense that none bar Kova has any vision of any worth.

[Vesper 27,264]

now Mount cannot even make basic short passes

smdh

[Laylabelle 9,293]

Can see this being a loss or draw. .

Come on!!
