Wow that's how people react when they are corrected.
But Benteleb has only 'returned' for one game. How about we see how he performs in his next game and the game after that..
Fuck off with those conspiracy theories
I personally love the little rat faced rapscallion.
He definitely gets more leeway from fans having come through the academy. But I think that we have a bunch of players who maybe don't stand up to purely individual scrutiny, yet their importance to how the team as a whole plays is significant.

I bet you he won't be here in 18 month's time
Mason is one of those squad players who when he gets a run of games surprises you. Thought he was excellent yesterday.
What do you expect? Do you think it's realistic to have world class players throughout the squad, even on the bench? Starting Mason in an EL game when Dembele is injured is not a Daniel Levy decision, it's completely warranted
Man Utd were full of them squad players you could rely on when they were dominated teams. Mason come through the ranks, knows the philosophy and is a good squad player to have around. I don't think he should be starting unless we have injuries or need to rotate but squad player he's fine.
An able replacement for the injured dembele.
I don't rate Mason - do you have a problem with that? Is your best response 'fuck off' lately to anyone who shares a different opinion to yours? Are you 11? Are we meant to rate all our players? Do you think Mason is world-class?

That sounds suspicious.
Suspiciously like something you would say if...
YOU WERE A GOONER CUNT TROLL MAGOT! You've been found out!
I think a key point to remember here is that Mason has only ever had 1 full season with us. He's almost in a similar position to Son/Wimmer in that sense, due to his long injuries this year. We all know that a player massively improves from their 1st to their 2nd season and we've yet to see Mason reach his peak or top form.
Having seen his volley today, which was technically perfect, and having seen his goal and looking at his youth scoring record, I have to wonder how good he can actually be. I think his potential is a lot higher than most give him credit for and some are quick to forget last year. The amount of interceptions he made last year was incredibly high and his tackle rate was also very high; he was one of our best players.
He offers an awful lot of attacking runs and threat to our team when he plays, more so than Dembele or Bentaleb or any other CM we have. He's almost an extra attacking midfielder, works incredibly hard, goes in hard when tackling and has huge passion for the club.
I don't think Mason is a squad player, and I don't think that phrase should be used for this team anymore. 3 of the best defenders in the league are on our team and are "squad players". The word has no meaning.

His more natural position is in the 10 role, he also hit double figures when playing in the reserves a few seasons back. He got a bad injury which slowed his progress.

could tell you more.
There is a vast gulf between world-class and average.
