He won't, it'll be the same old shit we've seen all season. After that performance vs Newcastle a manager with stones would drop half the cunts and let the kids play United, they haven't earned the right to wear our shirt off the back of that performance. Of course Mason is "one of the ladz" so he's not dropping any of the worst offenders (Lloris, PEH, Dier).

No, I will never agree with this.
Yes I guess you could say our corners have been better, seemed so at first anyway, difficult to see much positive amongst the gloom of the last few months.
BUT, I'm convinced our supposed new found threat from set pieces accelerated our slide away from being a football team to being a shit Wimbledon knock-off, aiming to get a corner as much as if not more than to score a goal from open play.
Or maybe I'm just grasping for excuses for how dreadful we've become to watch.
Alasdair Gold said that once Emerson and Davies are back, they’re 2 natural full backs, so it should allow Mason to play his favoured 4-3-2-1
I think Sunday showed for all to see we don't have the CBs to play 4atb. Dier, Davies and Lenglet all can't play CB in a back 4, Romero is the only one with a solid track record of playing well in a back 4 with Argentina.
Well that's something, if Emerson is back maybe he could place Porro further up the pitch and give Kulusevski some time on the bench.
Few old players could join him dawson. King. Paul robinson. Maybe redknapp in the background bit of advice. Nothing to loose really
If they do turn up it could well be more. Honestly
I 100% concur to the value from a club perspective, but Its safe to assume these higher end guys don't want the baggage of some other fuckers failed season.
"Zero pressure" looks good on paper but if you lose all 6 and then have a slow start the next season you're up against the tide already.
FBs are merely the secondary issue.
Think it's also premature to ascribe a "prefered system" to a manager as fresh to the hotseat as Mason.
I am glad we are keeping the set piece coach (conte’s spy). A sensible move.
I won't accept you calling him anything but Ali G from this point forward.
We can’t because our centre backs don’t defend well enough in a pair. They need that extra cover of a third centre back which is actually embarrassing because one is a World Cup winner and the other an England international.
3-5-2 for me with Danjuma or deki in behind Kane and Richarlison. Let Richarlison run the channels and get behind Utd’s poor defence and Harry can drop into holes and get turned and release or wing backs or Danjuma or deki running from deep.
Vorm was a very popular character in the dressing room, this doesn’t surprise me.
The players need a change of air and to just relax. They need to enjoy their work again. We all know top 4 has gone, we are basically in the grief counselling stage of our season. We need to do whatever we have to to do get them enjoying their football if we want to win games.
Adding to his cv to get a championship club next year. Hope it goes okay and they play for him else it could go horrific for him
Yeah even if Mason went with the solid, well renowned, no keeper, no forward, 1 defender, midfielder overload system we would still lose...
If Davies is fit & playing as a LB, then Dier can look over his shoulder in terror as a pass flies beyond him & this time find an actual defender there.
That moment against ncastle when he looked in panic for the LCB and saw Perisic in the LWB position on the touchline was classic.
I get trying to play 3 in midfield, but the FBs then need to tuck in when we're defending. Oh, and not ball watch, immobile as traffic bollards.
Both club raised too…
The players need to relax?! Hahaha.
No they fucking don't. That's the last thing they should be doing.
