Two wonderful goals. Would be great if he can continue contributing. A player I’d really like my opinion of his level to be proved wrong.

Grinning like Amorim after that cameo, he changed the game for us. Just wish Amass could have finished his chance from Mount’s flick, would have been some goal.
These are Mason Mount's Premier League stats/rankings from 2020-21 and 2021-22 with Chelsea. In 2021-22 he scored 11 goals and had 10 assists in the Prem. He has weaknesses, sure, but if he can find full fitness consistently again, he's proven that he can be a very good player. If I saw us linked to a player with those kind of stats I'd normally be very excited.
Now we just need to make sure he eats his vegetables..
Welcome to Manchester finally Mason
You can see he is an intelligent player and has the right attitude, such a shame about the injuries.
Well done Mason - I've never rated him much but after tonight, I might need to review that!
Mason Mount Making Many Memories Meaning Most Men Must Minimise More Moaning Malfeasance

Great cameo and two very good goals.
Three goals in a week, hopefully this is the start of something. It’s the first time in his United career he’s had any momentum whatsoever. Let’s hope it continues.

Take a bow son.
Fully fit and in form he’s an asset in this system. Who knows if we will ever see that consistently but he was excellent and goals were brilliantly taken.
If this is the start of something special then well played mason.
Seems like he has all the “minerals” to make an exceptional player. Let’s hope he pushes on because that was outstanding

He's a fecking great player! Youse are all well within your rights to disagree.
Come on Ruben, unleash him against Spurs.
Delighted for him.
So there is hope?
What a complete 180 on this cameo V the first leg’s. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel
The way Ruben has managed his minutes has been so intelligent - 10 consecutive appearances now, he’s looking fit and sharp and is perfect for the 10 role under Amorim
Perfect storm for him tonight. He did really well but I'd honestly be quite surprised if we see him play that well again
People were saying they never rated him. Ffs

So pleased for him tonight. What a cameo.
I'd love so much for him to turn this around. There is a good player in there that has always been able to chip in with goals and he's one of the few players we have that actually suits this system. He just needs to stay fit, and that's the hard part.

Well played son
Hell of a piece of turf that.
There's always been a player there.
Injuries have not helped but an injury free MM is such an asset.

I just hope he stays fit. He's a very good player to have in the squad. Hard working, intelligent, skilful and nearly always makes the right decision on the ball, which a lot of our players don't.
Need his running and technical ability to beat spurs press
It could work in a cup competition where the setup is conservative where you defend deeper. But over the course of the season I don't believe the midfield 3 you have highlighted would be good enough to propel the team to a level where we can challenge for the league. And that imo is due to not having the deeper midfield options who can propel the team as far as building the play from the back, where receiving the pass on the turn, evading the press and then progressing the ball forward are fundamental requirements if the aim is to dominate the opponent.
I think we're fine as far as the options in the attacking midfield positions but I don't believe Bruno and Casemiro have the all round game to play in deeper midfield roles where evading the press, progressing the ball forward and containing the transition in a higher line is a requirement. Bruno and Casemiro are more than capable of progressing the ball forward but I don't believe they're anywhere near good enough as far as evading the press or containing large spaces in transition in a higher line. We have to aim higher or else we'll carry on being a mostly direct team. I think Bruno should be mostly utilised as as attacking midfielder that's where he's best for us. And raising the level in deeper midfield should be a priority in the transfer window.
Mason Mount was excellent and there's a reason why both Arsenal and Liverpool wanted him too. His issue has been injuries and if you he can get him to steer clear of those injuries then he's a player who not only contributes with goals and assists but is also a player who can connect and combine at a high level and that's something we lack in the final third with the exception of Amad.
His best performance in a red shirt. Long may it continue
Play him instead of Hojlund in the final? Too risky?
Or we could play him in his actual position.
Worst signing post SAF. You know, for balance and a reality check.
Robbie Savage declaring it the best 30 minutes of his career when he’s played in a World Cup and provided the winning assist in a European Cup final was fittingly Robbie Savage.
Savage also claimed his goal was more important than the Macheda one.
Hopefully the next injury he gets is because of lifting the trophy. Id accept that.
Really happy for him after the many setbacks he has had with injuries. Due to injuries he hasn't got the chance to show what he can do for us, so hopefully he can stay fit and be an important player for us. If he can stay fit I think he has a role to play for us next season at the number 10 spot.
Ok, so ice baths it is for every member of the squad!
To be fair he wasnt there when both of those happened. Did not see = never happened.
After a horrid 2 seasons, a fantastic sub performance. All we can hope for is a true start to his career here rather than a flash of a great performance for 30 minutes
Bruno has clearly shown since Amorim came in that he's capable of being press resistant in that deep role, his composure has completely transformed and I have 0 doubts about him there.
Mounts injuries are such that it's hard to plan with him, but either way I think Bruno is just a fixture in the deeper midfield spots which he is also world class at. The 10's would be amad, garnacho, Cunha, mount or zirkzee. Sometimes I'm sure Bruno will still play as a 10 and Ugarte and Case will partner each other in midfield, but typically I think you'll see Bruno long term in CM.
Bruno doesn't have the press resistance or the ability control space in transition in a higher line. What he does have in a deeper role is to play the ball vertically with excellent accuracy. But any team that applies a well coordinated press will hinder his game in a deeper role which will again hinder our ability to build the play from the back. We need specialist midfielders with the aforementioned attributes who will raise the level in deeper midfield which will enable us to better impose ourselves on the game, both with and without the ball. Playing Bruno deeper will be more of the same predictability where we look to go direct and that will play into the hands of our rivals.
I was watching the games with my Spurs supporting friend. As Mount came on I said watch out, my friend genuinely thought I was joking. I'm so happy for him and I hope he can stay fit for us.
