Really. I wouldn't write off Mount and Kante. I think next season when Lamp gets balance right they will be great
Far from writing off Mount and Kante, I said Kante is the closest we have to a superstar and that Mount should have started before Jorghino , and was one of our 2 best after Kovacic !!!
It's obvious that a few of the young players are struggling a bit , Tomori is needing game time, Abraham before his injury off the boil a bit, Reece James (in the defensive positioning part of his role, not the attacking,) and at the next level, Kepa, Christensen, Jorghino are not setting things alight either, then there's Alonso, Pedro, Willian, all flat as a tack.
I have every expectation that all the young players will make the grade, if they haven't already, and several of the older brigade are on the slide.
So you are spot on about getting the balance right from my seat, and although that will mean a few big upgrades next season, there are still options for Frank to improve the squad he has. Kante when fit, in his proper role for starters, the return of the injured Pulisic, CHO and RLC. Especially get the best performing midfield and stick with it, which might well allow better use of Giroud and even Michy. I watched the game between Dortmund and PSG , those Dortmund kids are so much more direct than ours and seem to have fewer problems finding the goals. They spend no time looking for someone in a better position, they shoot on sight.Their midfield knows only one way to go, and it's not sideways nor backwards, and it's quick and accurate. We can do that, and did early season.
