thanking you! I was lazy and on phone
 
I was definitely expecting to see Mason deliver more yesterday, but as Macch said, it's pretty understandable that he didn't shine. Give him a few weeks.
 
Agreed, loved the off the ball stuff between Dembele and Ramsey in the second half too.

Definitely. The same goes for Danny vs the other Danny. I'm loving how the lads genuinely care! Even players like Lamela, that are having a tough time to live up to their expectations, are at least willing to give it all for the shirt. Would it be the same without the academy lads influence? I doubt that!
 
It doesn't help that they have american accents and i know its abit rich, but i can't take their opinions seriously.

Don't really care about the accents personally, but some of them are incredibly clueless. They mean well which is fair enough, but it's just a little bit sad reading and listening to their opinions.
 
I actually agree about them to an extent with Mason and Bentaleb. Both players are good, but together they leak fast breaks like a sieve. Mason is good going forward, but not very good yet at breaking up attacks, and I think that he'll be the one likely to be on the bench next year, of the pair.

I like his commitment, and his attacking instinct, but defensively, he's not that great. He tackles, but the downside of tackles is that if you miss, you've taken yourself out of the play and given space to the opposition. He does that a lot more than I'd like.

That problem is why Dembele's been playing as a #10, and although the tactic is working, if Mason and Bentaleb were better defensively, we wouldn't need to do that in the first place.
