He doesn't look to me he's putting the best desire upfront to wanna get picked and play TBH. Almost abit like still trying to come to gripes with Poch departure.

I don’t think he will be here next season. Just doesn’t feel right.

Criminal if that happens. I see GLC as more of a CM than an AM, and I don't think Mourinho really likes the traditional 10 type player. He relied on Lampard for goals at Chelsea and probably expected the same from Pogba at Utd.. He didn't waste any time binning Mkhitaryan from Utd either and never really gave Mata too much of a shot at either Chelsea or Utd. Hoping GLC gets his chance in CM.
Deco, Sneijder, Ozil, Oscar?

Mou loves a 10

Don't know why mourinho doesn't like him. Skill and effort. Or perhaps he's sticking to the players he knows until he does more training

Only room for one No 10 in this system and that’s Dele. He obviously doesn’t trust him defensively as either a CM in a two, or as a RW.

Doesn’t look great for him under Mou.

I agree he hasn’t had enough time but even in the short cameos I’m just not sure what he’s going to offer.

Just don’t think he fits in
Today seemed well suited for 433 and try to dominate the midfield. Lo Celso could have been useful in that formation.

I just don't think he's playing simply because Jose wants to get the best out of Dele and pick players who are familiar.

Once he realises Sissoko and Winks are not up to it and Eriksen goes he'll get more chances and I imagine he'll be a starter week in

It seems whoever is responsible for the buying of players is not up to the task .
why buy Sessegnon / Clark / Lo Celso and not play them ?
OK Clark is for the future but the other two also Ndombele is getting little playing time .
For me Ndombele / Sessegnon / Lo Celso must be given playing time otherwise how are we ever going to know if they are good enough ?
The results are not going to differ too much in my opinion to what they are at the moment .
The upside is they could be the answer also we will find out for certain if they are up to it because 10minutes here or 15 minutes there is going to tell us nothing.

This exactly, to me it looks like he thinks he deserves to start but isn’t willing to put the work in to prove it.

How on earth can you make this assumption from his tiny cameos, in which he has still worked hard?!!!

Lo Celso should be starting for us on the right of midfield in the 4231 formation we're playing. I don't see why he's not being given a run of games there. Lucas has been bang average.

I'm slightly worried, but there have been plenty of pieces on Mourinho and how he has treated star names in the past until they were ready. Eto'o springs to mind at Inter, who Mourinho kept on the bench until he was happy with what he saw in training. Eto'o even admits it was the right thing and played incredibly well under Mourinho.

Weren’t they the players Poch wanted (although maybe not Clark) so Levy got him them.

Our squad looks massively lopsided and missing in key areas. Unfortunately I have zero faith we will sort it out positively in the next 12 months.

They’re either young players or players new to the league that need to be bedded in slowly. Jose was never gonna just chick them in when he is new to the job.

As others have said, he’s rightly not going to drop Dele at the moment, so he’s going to have to be more patient.

Although if N’Dombele continues to look so unfit and Winks continues with the levels he’s been playing at we may as well give him a try in a midfield two. But Burnley is probably not an ideal game for that.
