Congrats Mason Mount on the captaincy!

Youngest academy graduate to captain the side since a certain JT in 2002!

Inevitable and makes sense, that our most established academy graduate and linchpin of Frank' methodology would be first to captain the side. Proud

Permanent? Time will tell.


What I will say which I mooted in a previous article is...this season does look like the start of a long goodbye for Azpi (exemplary attitude off the pitch will still be key), falls short of the required standard on the pitch (to put it kindly).
Reece James is the undisputed number 1 and deservedly so.

Changing of the guard.

Got to keep Azpi at the club. Need that experience around the squad. Would still be a good back up RB next season. I mean not many teams have a better back up RB then Azpi.

Also put Mount on pens please.

We keep thinking Azpi is finished and then he has a resurgence. Definitely worth keeping him around, top pro.

Azpi will likely see-out the remaining 18 months of his contract, should be looking for better that can compete with James going forward (that may well turnout to be Tino Livramento or Henry Lawrence).

This current Azpi is different from previous season...
I can't pinpoint one outstanding or even solid performance from Azpi this season, on his last legs and at the end of his shelf-life (akin to Ivanovic, in rapid decline)...which is understandable played heaps of football (the most of any in the past 5 years).
Routinely beaten, can't cope with demands needed at fullback anymore I feel. Wouldn't even want him playing CB either in his current state.


As for Werner when on the pitch...I'd keep him on pen duties until he misses the next one (similar to when Jorginho was fairly taken off pen duties).
Needs goals to kick-start his season.

Mount has taken a total of one penalty for us so far...and failed to hit the target.

I wanna see Havertz take them
