To be honest he’s the only coach in almost 24 months to get a tune out of dele
Dele has 25 appearances this season averaging 40 minutes per appearance. goals/assists per minute he's our most productive CM! I was kind of surprised by that.

Ditto! I know I'm just repeating here, but imagine him turning that frown upside down and starts playing like he used to.

Loving Mason right now.

Another great presser.

None of this bullshit 'I prefer not to speak..*15 minutes of talking later* and that's how I feel, but I won't speak about it'

These next 3 matches I'm very interested in. Leeds, Wolves, and Villa are all a tier up from Southampton and Sheffield and proper mid table clubs right now. All three have some really good wins and bad losses this campaign. Leeds away especially will not be easy by any means.

As continues, Mason has said the right things during the pre-match build up. I love the focus is again on what our side can do to hurt opposition, instead of what we should be worried of. Winning aside (which he will obviously will be judged on), I'm really hoping to see some more positive, attacking football.

Another good presser, I just wish journos would stop re-asking a question he's already answered. This week its about the manager vacancy. He answered it, then the next journo just asked the same question but worded it slightly differently, like he's going to fall for that. He really shouldn't be having to say "We are just focussed on the match tomorrow" more than once.

Got a feeling its going to be a great watch tomorrow. Looking forward to it. Ryan has the right attitude and hopefully it's rubbing off on the players.

Yeah I find journalists questions to be predictably, crap, lazy and boring in general at these press conferences with no imagination.

And I never understand why they would ask Mason questions about the permanent manager anyways - in what world would he actually give them any updates on this?

They are hoping for Mason to trip up and give out a controversial statement so they can print it and watch the brouhaha to ensue.

I mean Dele played ok. Is that the bar now?

At this point it's years we haven't seen him playing well. I won't hold my breath
Dele’s at the point some are so desperate to see him even begin to look like he could fulfil his potential that even just a jog around the pitch will get praised like a kid in the middle of potty training who just used the toilet all by themselves. Kinda sad tbh

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck what a abysmal performance that was. Leeds were spot on tactic wise today. Credit to them

Bielsa really outclassed him today, was like boys against prime Brazil, tactically inept
