Maybe it's hyperbolic, but if Mason Mount can stay fit then he will bring a hell of a lot to this Amorim team.
Three goals in 2 games, while also making the team look so much more functional when he's on the pitch.
At the very least if he stays fit then he adds a much higher quality squad option to the two inside forward positions. They are also the positions he played at Chelsea when he got 20+ goals and assists in back to back seasons.
It's a bit of a cliché but he could be like a new signing.
There are two other players who deserve a shout out after the Bilbao game. Firstly Amad, what a player. He just oozes class, yet he also works so hard and fights for every ball. Secondly Yoro is really starting to settle and show why he was rated as the best young CB in Europe when we signed him. He reminds me so much of a young Rio Ferdinand, silky on the ball, great at carrying it out of defence, and actually a real threat when he gets up the pitch with the ball at his feet.
While Bruno has been carrying us for most of the season, if we can make sure we have both Mount and Amad fully fit and match sharp for the final then I think we can win it comfortably.

Talk about getting carried away. Amad has shown himself to get a real asset, Mount needs more than a couple if cameos, and the bug issue gere us IF he can stay fit.
Yoro gas real potential, but right now, it's just potential.
Back to Amad, he has a swagger and confidence other players could learn from, his return is a huge plus.

Mount has a lot of work to do to show he can stay fit. Shaw is in the same boat. We cannot rely on these players right now.

Who was the better player at 19, Yoro or Ferdinand?
Tbh, I can barely remember what Rio was like at that age. Seems so long ago. Yoro certainly has impressed and looks very composed.

Rio was Rolls-Royce. Yoro has that look about him but a long way to go yet.

Yoro doesn’t compare to Leeds-era Ferdinand IMO.
