Carry on scoring like this, and he will soon become a fan favourite (if he isn't already). He looks like he is capable of scoring in every game at the moment.

Only 209 more goals to catch Frank. 

He's got the natural goalscoring instinct, scoring is an option in his mind as soon as he is near the box, his dribbling and shot is efficient and a beeline to the goal, no fancy stuff like you see from Pedro just shift shift and boom

RLC has competition on his hands!

Fantastic footballer.

Mount is one of our best players. Simple as that.

Has managed the transition from youth to Pro football really well. His link play with Pulisic have been really good so far.

What a player we have in this kid! Surely a call up for England is in the very near future for Mount?

He's already had one and is apparently getting another on the next break.

So he should too. Has played very well. His shooting is lethal and it is soooo good to have someone finally who can take a corner.

No no, we have to find a way to fit him, RLC AND CHO in to the same team. They are all real talents. 

Take a bow Mason, you again show why some of us have been championing you for 2 years to get your chance.

I agree that Mount and RLC could play in the same team though one would go wide. Though due to RLCs injuries unlikely to be more than a handful of matches where they play together.

Mount's goal yesterday reminded me of someone, think Suarez or peak Michael Owen would have been proud of that.

I’m happy to see how this plays out when RLC is back to full fitness.

It may just be a case of may the best man win, but we’ll have a better team and squad for it.

I’d rather that than the way most of us can’t wait for Rudiger to return or our need for at least a couple of good strikers.

Good competition is great in my eyes and only the strong will survive.

It might just push Ross further down the pecking order for example, unless he raises his game.

What impressed me as much as his ability is the confidence he's got.

You'd think Mount was a seasoned veteran, he's got this attitude that he belongs at this level, rare quality for a youngster making a step up.

If I was watching Chelsea firs the time time, I'd mistake Mount as the one played 3-4 seasons in the league, and Barkley as the guy playing his third game.

He should do and so should Maddison. Only problem is Southgate will keep picking Jesse fecking Lingard.

I wouldn't be in a rush to see Mount start for England, we do not have any decent cover for our goal scoring midfield player.

Agree! I’d rather keep him under wraps at Cobham and have him keep working with Lamps for another 2wks, but he deserves the call up.

The irony is a call up for him might mean Barkley getting dropped.

Yeah it might just be the Championship but if you consider their ages their performances are staggering at Championship level, they are quite capable of fulfilling that potential at the very top if done right. 

I'm liking what I'm seeing so far from him and Abraham, his touch for that goal was amazing. The commentators talking about bad defending for both of their goals (Abraham's 2nd) are laughable, both players produced excellent control and finishing. 

It's odd how pessimistic I was about this season, now I'm more excited for it than anything because I actually enjoy watching how these players are developing, we've never really had this before. Lampard has really surprised me, I hope he proves me wrong. 

Really impressive start to the season for Mount, the level of determination and performance from this guy has been great to watch, already one of my favourite players.

I think over the next few years the initials MM are going to have a fairly close association to set of MM abbreviation that happens to have "ot" in the middle.  

 

Who honestly thought we'd get a player this exciting at this age without spending the GDP of a small nation?

In a selfish way i don't want him anywhere near England, at least for a season or two.
