Hope hes ok for next two matches, looked sore tonight after the knock.

He's a class act and we need him.

Imagine how much of an untouchable he'll be when he plays for a manager who doesn't pick on youth players.

It looked like at one point he was trying to sell a foul which I something I wanted to see him do more of.

What a player.  Becoming everything Chelsea.  First name on the team sheet every week for me.  Well maybe Mendy, then Mason!

 

Has the Players' Player of the Year been announced yet btw?

Brilliant as always last night, faded once he took that knock, I thought we should have brought him off to make sure it wasn’t aggravated but fingers crossed he’s OK. He’ll be key for us in the next two games and missing him would be a massive blow.

If there is a slight risk I would be fine with him not playing against Villa because without him we can't win the CL IMO.

This boy has everything, some said he faded out the game after having getting that knock but I disagree. Yes as an offensive threat he may have been quieter second half but it’s because he was busy protecting what we have, helping out his team mates and closing down the opposition.

his work rate and intelligence are amazing.

there may be players out there that do different parts of the game better than him but no one who does it all better than him! 
 

Poor again just like the Werner and Pulisic. Had the best chance in the game but yet another miss. Need to see more ruthlessness from him next season with more end product considering how advanced he plays under Tuchel.

His finishing has been very poor of late. His all around game remains excellent but that final shot is just way off the mark.

A front 3 of him, Werner and Pulisic at the moment offers the same goal threat as Kante and Kovacic do, zip all.

Two of his shots were blocked axman and one he blazed over. Didn't look bad to me at all yesterday. His first touch on the ball is always at another level IMO.

At his age only Robben has scored or created more for us during the PL era. If we are to look at how he has improved his overall game via hard work on the training pitch, I would expect him to show a big improvement in shot creation and scoring. He has also in the last couple of weeks shown signs of fatigue, a summer off would probably do him the world of good though that is unlikely as i think Southgate sees him as a starter for the Euros.

True but the CL final remains Axman... I'm still convinced that he will be absolutely huge for us there in one way or another.

Ironically I feel he would have more goals this season if he were allowed to play the Lampard position @just. While he has been superb in his all around game in a front 3 it draws too much attention to him and he gets little time to get a shot off.

Now as @Malcolm9 suggested in the CP thread if we did have a front 3 with him as the Lampard in the midfield 3 the front 3 should allow him more time and space to line up a shot. Think that will bring more goals like the one he scored at Sheff united. I know he was in a 3 then but he arrived late in to the box, a perfect Lampard esc goal.

Need to play 4 at the back for me to allow him to play that way.

Summer transfer window...............

We played in 433 under Lamp but with werner and Chilwell on the left Mount couldn't attack the box as much. He scored more under Tuchel this season but I believe he scored even more last year.

Not bad for a player only picked because he is Frank Lampards son to score in the CL semi final and play in a final eh?

And Foden is getting all the plaudits! Just take a look at sky sports...

Alright Mason, has been an amazing season so far for you but you will need to be a true warrior tonight for them team to have a chance. 

Learn from JT, captain, leader and legend. You cannot take one moment of planning how you would celebrate or envisioning it. A top display in Moscow forgotten because he imagined celebrating his winning pen before he took it and slipped on his ar$e.

From first minute until the last you must not think of any personal glory and work your backside off for the team. You need to match Kantes work rate.

We believe in you Mason.
