This should be our strongest lineup for this season. However, Lampard might put Mount in for Pulisic/Havertz/Ziyech. You will never know.
Mount is actually quite good imo. But with new signings coming in (after being fit, that is), the task now turns to blending them in with our current squad. And for that to happen, Lamps need to pinpoint which players from the current team that deserve to stay (read: Tomori/Kovacic/James), and which should be shown the door (read: Kepa/Christensen/Alonso)
Mount can rotate with either Havertz/Pulisic at times, but a winger needs to play in his pure position for him to play to the best of his ability, and the same goes to a midfielder as well
Also, i genuinely don't understand the gaffer's issue with Hudson-Odoi. Sure, he's inconsistent in performing but that can be due to lack of game time given to him. Why not let the kid play every now and then and see how it goes..?
I believe this season shall be another trial of fire for Lamps, with extra added pressure given all the new signings coming in. Let's see at the end of the season how the starting XI shapes out
