"Lampard reports Tammy has tonsillitis and is already on the mend, while Kepa has a stomach bug. He hopes both will be in contention for Barcelona next week.

On Kenedy, Lampard says he is making a 'great case' to stay at the club with his performances."

Not sure he did Frank on that performancw but he did seem to have the most energy, especially when the press was triggered.
Maybe he's seen better in training.

And I dont think he has a clue about midfield - too many players, a lot of quality and only so many spaces.....a good problem though. And with CHO and Cheek to return

Jorginho was in control.

Attack is still looking a big worry. I don't see many goals in it at all.

Lampard on Pulisic display: "Good, good, he has been here a couple of days really in terms of training, so have been really impressed.

"He's comfortable on the ball and I think he should have had a penalty towards the end of the game."

"Pulisic wants to try to take people on, the sort of player the fans are going to like so we have to give him a little bit of time to adapt slightly."

"But the way he has trained, the way he has come in with his personality looks great so I am really pleased to have him."

Kepa
Azpi Zouma Luiz Emerson
Kante Kovacic/Jorginho
Pedro Barkley Pulisic
Giroud

That's probably the best lineup currently. Eventually Rudiger will come in. Barkley & Mount will fight for the no 10 spot. RLC is a long way away from coming back, he'll miss a large part of this season.

We have decent competition in the wide areas with both Willian & CHO to come in.

I'm not convinced up front with any of the 3 but Giroud is probably best for the team, I hope Tammy can make the step up.

I'd start Willian over Pedro. I think he'll be better getting to play on the left without Hazard.

Possibly but Pedro is a goal threat, I don't see many goals coming from anywhere else.

Sarri is the reason I joined Juve - De Ligt

Pedro's never been in any other situation in his career but playing with those two Gaz

Pedro's only really a goal threat if someone else is creating space for him. Hence why he worked so well with Messi and Hazard.

Cant agree with that at all.
Utd opened the scoring, screamer against everton, screamer against spurs, his goal last year against spurs was a solo goal...infact go through all his goals and most are individual brilliance

Rose Fleetwood and Westwood all doing well in the open...good stuff

I'd agree

Just had a look at pedros goals, crazy how so many of them were in the middle of the pitch, just outside the box. creates space well for himself.

Tammy is ready....






(I hope)

"Frank: I thought Mason Mount’s performance was really good and it was a continuation of how he played for me last year and how he’s trained for me since last Friday as he’s not been with us long, but his energy and his quality."

Yep, his energy & quality to surpress space and force mistakes is potent.
One of his many outstanding noticeable attributes.

I think i've seen a tammy full 90 mins about twice

Leading the press.

Frank: Mason Mount’s part of the first-team squad this year and it’s time for him.

Definitely.
Not Tomori though.
