Mason Mount has been a mainstay ever since he broke into the Chelsea team, through three different managers, and three different styles. Plus he’s Gareth Southgate’s first-choice attacking midfielder for England.
But why? He’s always there, but what does he do? Jon Mackenzie explains, Marco Bevilacqua illustrates.

This title is going to be memed on twitter😂
And rightfully so
They knew what they are doing 😂
@EMILY HOTXXX how?
OMG TRUE 😭😭😭
I feel like if you type this in on Twitter hundreds of people have already tweeted it
He really is able to do pretty much anything you ask of him at a good level too, truly jack of all trades, but a master of none. The only thing lacking from Mount right now is better individuality, the problem with being the perfect cog is that you become very textbook and thus the opposition can stop you if they are well structured. You can't break a well crafted structure with safe generic plays, chaos or "magic" is what breaks opposition defenses and this is what I think he's missing to truly become a superstar.
That’s a really good point, he always makes the right pass but that might actually hinder his creativity
Could have said that of Lampard. But he kept scoring
Nahhhh all great players can do everything. So that mastery of none is none sense. His not all that simple as that
@@virupakshawalla5734 The thing with Lampard was that he had really amazing positional awareness and vision, which would allowed him to time late runs in the box to score of crosses or through ball.
Plus he was much better at 1-on-1 situations over mount and had a very accurate shot.
Well said
this title is mad
I think they just want us to understand his role better
Got me to click immediately.
The Mount Vs Foden debate has raged on for far too long. In the England side, Foden is more naturally gifted but in the system England want to flourish in, both players fit into different roles. Mount in the 8 and Foden out on the left provides both the creative flair and concise technical ability to succeed. At Chelsea we don't see Mount in the 8 enough and I think a midfield refresh is coming to enable mount to return to the 8 rather than lost out wide like he sometimes does.
foden is just a far better player
mount can't play 8 as he's too slow, weak, and has no one v one ability. his goalscoring is better used up the field anyway, he's a 10 but just a pretty mundane 10 at that. a far worse version of rooney
@@glidinggolovin I don't disagree that Foden is better but in my opinion they're not fighting for the same position.
Mount is much better as an 8 and is excellent at taking the ball on the turn and driving with the ball. He is quick and where you've got this idea that he's too slow is ridiculous. His engine is excellent and enables him to maintain his pressing so you've clearly not watched him enough. As said in the video his off ball and positional awareness is very good which better suits an 8 than a compressed 10 position. There are better players for the 10 position but for England the 4-3-3 is the better option for now.
@@oimhaz exactly foden is fighting sterling or saka not mount
@@Rando.2xx foden can definitely bench sterling, idk about saka though
@@samuellolango9720 yeah true but why do people compare a cm to a winger its like comparing neymar to xavi
he’s a jack of all trades. wish he could get more goals in but he certainly doesn’t deserve to be trash talked how he is.
MASTER OF NONE OF THEM
Exactly, and he’s never been played consistently in his best position, almost always played as a forward for Chelsea, a sacrifice to accommodate other players.
@@DayzAhat
even if mount did play in AM role, u would suffer because mount can only run with the ball, and not technically much at all. there is a difference between running well with the ball in space vs running past players using higher speed and technical traits. eze is a far better player than mount for example, and no one here on this channel will be able to admit this very fact
@@DayzAhat he’s so versatile that he’s never played to the best of his strengths
@@noedidit.
being versatile is an overrated concept in football. it isn't necessary at all. klopp suffers this season because of this, and pep always loses high knockout rounds in the cl bc he has no truly distinct positions for his players
instead, madrid always instruct strict positioning among players and look what i won them. if you have to use versatility in football, you are a bad coach
Title so crazy Erik ten hag clicked on it, watched it and decided to sign him
I think a more relevant video is "What does Jorginho do?". People give him way more stick than Mount, yet he's been a fixture for every Chelsea side since Sarri bought him. Managers love him, fans hate him
Nah, jorgis role is clear he’s there to keep the tempo of the game acting as the focal point of the midfield to recycle the ball changing the angles to find a new route and of attack. He just looks bad bc he’s playing in a midfield 2 giving him less time to do this role when majority of teams outnumber Chelsea in the middle by playing a midfield 3
@@dagyare7140 He's a sideways passer who can't open defenses
J5 is a good footballer but his weakness is a big weakness which is getting caught out in transition play.
Jorginho is simply a registra. do some research on that one
@@toothpick1753 Yeah opening defences is done by a deep playmaker not a CDM. CDM role like Matic and Joginho is to protect the back and clear danger
Mount Is a fantastic player. He might not have the technique of foden or grealish but he's very clever tactically. He finds spaces. Can pass. Score. He reminds Me of Thomas muller
He’s nothing like muller
More of a lampard
I've never understood why mount has gotten such harsh criticism. He is a great player who can operate in many positions, is a good presser and has bags of energy, links up well with those around him and he has quality in passing, creating, getting into spaces and he can offer a lot from set pieces. The only thing I would say though is that maybe for both club and country there are players who deserve a chance to start more consistently as they have the capacity to potentially do better
Yeah I think that's the problem. He gets a lot if hate, I think, because he is good at everything but not great at a particular facet of the game so people tend to see him more as a squad player. So when he starts as often as he does, people tend to think he is overrated.
Probably more his managers' faults than his though.
Me neither, I'm not a chelsea fan but when I see him I just don't get where the hate comes from..he's not trash at all .he's actually above average
The thing with Mount is that he cannot win games on his own, his performance quality rises and drops with how the team is playing. He lacks that individual spark to produce something out of nothing, which isn't his fault at all, but then he was always compared to Lampard who is arguably the our best Player of All Time.
That Lampard's son joke/meme really overhyped him for people.
@@drkay5667 The hate comes from being an above average player that's treated or commented upon as if he's great. He isn't. He's good. And that's fine. But as their recent podcast states, he's been consistently described as a 'wonder child', and it just gets stale.
@@anmolkale16 What chelsea player can win games on their own? I would say Jorginho, sterling, auba, havertz, pulisic, ziyech, mount, kovacic, james and even gallagher. Sounds crazy but all of them are capable of pulling something off, whether it's a long pass to break a defence, a run in behind, clinical finish, screamer from outside of the box or a mazy dribble through a defence. They can do it but in a poor system that doesn't get the best out of them then it's going to be hard to get the confidence and trust to do those magic things they're capable of. Me personally I think chelseas attackl should be built around havertz as a second striler/ attacking midfielder. But mount as an 8/10 can shine for chelsea and produce a lot if the system was right
They're a bit different, but this reminds me of some of the discussion around Mark Noble at West Ham. Other fans might be surprised to know there were frequent calls to drop/replace Noble with stronger, faster players thoughout his West Ham career. Yet every manager, I think nine, really relied on him.
His ability to cover so many positions and to be tireless for 90 minutes straight is fabulous.
Fab-u-lous
Aaaand, he doesn't get injuries, honestly, what else would a coach look for?
Cardio 🔥🔥🔥
@@leticiazawadzki4990a player that actually contributes to winning. Mount isn't bad, he's just not special. Good at a lot of things just not great at anything.
@@icouldhavebeenyourfather8840 he definitely isn't a Ronaldinho, Messi or anything like it. But he's surely effective and important to any team he's in. Chelsea shouldn't get rid of him and he deserves a good paycheck.
One bad run of form and people ignore everything he's achieved aged 23. Double figures for goals and assists in the league last season but apparently he doesn't contribute much in terms of goals.
Assisted the winning goal in a Champions League final, scored against Madrid in the semis and has been Chelsea's best player for the last 3 years.
Facts
What’s he done for England?
@@GuinessOriginal generally under preformed but there’s basically no attacking player who excels under Southgate. We’ve been set piece merchants for years.
@@GuinessOriginal @Guinness Changed the game against Germany. Had a couple of decent games at the Euros. He's underperformed. But so has Foden, Grealish, Saka, Abraham, Trent and pretty sure much every young attacking talent under Southgate. Didn't include Maddison or Toney because they've barely had a look in.
@@areebsiddiqui758 saka has underperformed? In one or two games yes, but only when the whole team has. Foden has barely had any games under Southgate so hasn’t had the chance, which is criminal tbh, Southgate is on record as saying he wouldn’t start Gazza if he was in his prime now. Southgate prefers steady Eddies who are easy to manage and won’t stray from his scripted relegation battle football
29 goal contributions last season. He’s improving every season. Had a slow start like last time too this season but he will improve.
it’s been a very physically and mentally demanding schedule this year as well the work load might be too challenging not only for him but for other players too
6 goals all season as a cam.... dreadful
He’s not improved, he’s actually somehow gotten worse 😂
We are having a tough time. Of all the matches we won, mount was the orchestrator. Can’t deny that
20/21 was way better lol
He reminds me of di maria when he was at madrid.. he could play at cm because of his work rate and dribbling etc but drifted into attacking positions and wide positions easily. A utility type of player who’s also class, not just average.
Mount is no where near prolific as di Maria. Defenses have to naturally gravitate to di Maria because he is a constant threat. Mount is a good system player but won't win you matches with his ability alone
*As with every video you guys have produced, this is extremely well done.*
Mason mount situation is like playing Jordan Henderson from Liverpool behind the striker or as a 8 just because he runs around and can press. Only difference is mason has a smaller body, so he can get into tight spaces but stills fails to show creativity and prolific goalscoring.
Mount was incredible in the cl run. Play him in a 433 and he's a baller. Young players always have a bad season or two. Mount is already twice poty for Chelsea. He'll come back strong
he's nowhere world class so idk where you gather that chelsea was even good in that CL. no fans = irrelevant. decent coaching from tuchel won him the CL
@@glidinggolovin”decent coaching” tuchel wouldn’t have won without those chelsea players if it was the case why didn’t he win the cl with the star studded team of psg? actually use objectivity instead of copying word for word what twitter hipsters say.
@@C2190
if you used ur tiny brain you'd realise im suggesting that no fans also played a huge role in the CL being luck dependent. either way, mount was not more influential than kovacic, kante, chillwell, or even arguably werner throughout that CL run
it was decent coaching at best in terms of his methods of moving the ball, counters, transitions, etc. but again, it was an easy run for chelsea. atleti, easy; porto, easy; madrid under a transition with no top players, relatively easy and then the final which was only separated by a goal and kante offering a huge impact, far above mount's all round contributions
that entire chelsea side was always swapping and changing and im not super impressed by a team winning the champions league with giroud in the line up. luck happens and it was just their time, as such with madrid last season
my point is using the CL win as some metric to base his value makes very little sense. chelsea had a super easy route
he didn't win with psg because bayern were an excellent side. it's very thin margins and chelsea never got close to a CL again
i think ive been totally objective in my stance while you cherry pick trophies to match it to performance
@@C2190 PSG is a bling bling club with players that think they know more than the coaches and are bigger than the club they represent...Tuchel at Chelsea had full control of the dressing room and players respected his ideals whether winning or losing...they trusted each other and believed thats what wins titles not 100mil signings to sell jerseys
@@1.sh3m17
nah, psg had one of the best tactical and technical games the CL has ever seen in that final. it was an excellent game and bayern had a brilliant team
I've been asking the same question.
😂😂😂
He's a mid player is all he couldn't be used in the midfield cos he lacks the qualities of an elite no 8bas relates to creating spaces for others so managers uses him to link attack and defense so he always receives the ball between the lines but his decision making is sooo poor,his passing and chances creation is not good,can't dribble,can't playmake to then make matters worse his decision making is horrible
As related to creating spaces for others as a midfield,press resistant,playing with your back to goal,positioning,awareness,overwhelming opponents press you can agree he's not on the same level as kante kova or jorginho hence why he's not used in the midfield even though j5 is best in a 3 and kova,kante in a midfield 2
Mount 2020/21 sesone was so good and consistent
but no one ever noticed that
"Consistent" hahahaha...
he seemed way below kante and kovacic who clearly made him look better than he is
@@glidinggolovin you should check his stats for that cl period not just goals everything
@@Rando.2xx kante and kovacic are still better tho dont know why you needed to answer with that
A question I found myself asking with increasing fervour as the England USA game played out.
The fact that we’re actually at this point when it comes to mount discourse is silly. He’s a player in bad form, I don’t know how it’s become such a big deal
blame the twitter hipsters their minority voice amplifies these types of convos
I don't rate him but everything has to be partisan now, there's no middle ground or such thing as bad form
Bad form? Even my grandma can run faster than him
Majority of Chelsea has been in bad form this season a part from Thiago (he's been consistent and he's 37 what more can you ask an old man to do?)
I don't think it is a bad form, Mason Mount definitely is a real deal - they just don't know how to use him.
It's funny how 2 years ago everyone in the universe wanted a Mason Mount. Put him as your CAM and he performs. Stick him on the wing and he performs. Put him in the center of the pitch and he performs.
There were other better players at those positions but whatever you ask from Mount he just went out and did it. You need him to pass, he passes. You need him to shoot more he did that. You need him to lock down a winger he went all in. Because of this he hit the rarified air of being one of the top 3 British players under 21 and the sky was the limit.
Of course this is probably his curse. He never got a chance to stick in one place to become one of the best at a single position. Chelsea kept changing coaches, tactics and identities. Then the team just began bringing in more and more players who only played in a single position on the pitch and they were just better than Mount.
I can truly see him picking up the pieces and coming back in a big way. I dont know where or when but Mason Mount can ball.
I think it's his personality and vibe he brings to the team
being a jack of all trades is something he shouldnt become. i say this because if he is constantly having his position changed then there will get to a point where he doest develop futher as a player like we are seeing now. Same thing happened to Dele Ali when they tried making him an all rounder and it didnt end up well for him
I think Chelsea's biggest issue is us lacking goal scoring chances.
I believe the reason for this issue is that Mount plays the position of the main chance creator, but doesn't have the skillsets yet for a top 4 chance creator. However, as pointed out in this video, Mount is too good to drop as well.
Because of this, I think Mount catches a lot of flack from Chelsea fans as our performances are suffering due to this, but it's not his fault. This then causes him to become this sort of marmite character until he can improve his chance creation.
Also doesn’t help that he gets played on the wing and Chelsea fans think he’s supposed to be the playmaker, neither of which is what he is.
I think Chelsea’s biggest issue is a lack of stability and total lack of identity and team spirit due to the constantly revolving door of managers and players. Mount is the best academy graduate Chelsea have had for years yet they give him stick for the clubs deeper issues? This is madness and shows that in general Chelsea fans entitled expectations are greater than any young player can live up to.
You have zero ball knowledge.
What prolific goal scorer has Chelsea had since Costa. The closest they've come was with Werner who I really can't understand why he flopped so hard. How many shots or easy chance do Pulisic, Havertz, miss every game
@@TheLeeBonner Yeah this as well, we have been really short term in our transfers. I think this is also our problem though. Mount should be supported, but instead he's having to carry the creative burden when he still needs to develop that side of his game as he's young.
Like when James is fit, he can also carry the burden, but why are we soley reliant on only James and Mount?
the fact that at his age he dropped form for 3 months and people started criticising him as much as they did actually shows how good his usual level is
I beg y'all to do a vid like this for rodri, people underrated him way too much ,he underappreciated by city fan's too
Mount is like fusion of many skills❤️❤️
Correction: no skills
A close Chelsea fan of mine has likened Mount’s playstyle to that of Milner
The boy is a genius. He does everything. Real team player. Future Chelsea captain.
No ...Reece James is
@@-LetsHaveItRight- we all have our favourites buddy.
Genius ?
Man the football opinions have gone down so low.
@@Lord_OTD Not about favourites, it's about leadership. Love em both, but, based on everything I've seen on and off the pitch, Reece James is a captain to the core.
nah. he is next delle ali
Really well said about this exceptional player👌
Mount creativity 😭
Chelsea would have killed me but watching Messi keeps me sane
G+A in prem last season
Mount as midfielder:21
Foden as attacker:14
Mount was an attacker and he played more games than Foden
@@Oliver_T_03 I think you'll find that mount only played an extra 230 minutes in the league. He also played in midfield in 29/32 matches.
@@InvaderZim742 I watched the games with my eyes, I don't care about where Transfrermarkt says he played. We used the 343 95% of the time and he was never in the Midfield when that shape was used. He was usually on the right hand side, sometimes the left
@@Oliver_T_03 yet he still sits far deeper than foden does in a far less attacking side. It's not that hard to accept he had a better individual season than foden last year. 22/23 is a another story..
this idiot unironically believes stats are valid arguments. mount playing RW for chelsea in a 433 would give him 2 goals in the whole season. learn football
Such an underrated baller MM.
Nothing at this tournament so far but I do like him as a player.
He´s an amazing player, this season has been the weakest so far, but thats on the team as well, still, Mount is a very important player, when you put the tactical rigor, work rate and talent together, you get an amazing player.
Yea Mount playing at his best is Chelsea playing at their best
I don't think you know the meaning of amazing..
In the future, he would be a very good skipper, sort of reminds me of Gerrard, or the typical classic number 8.
Should do a "what impact Henderson has" for both lfc and England
What impact Hendo has? Premier League, Champions League, FIFA World Club, European SuperCup, FA Cup, Carabao Cup winner as a captain for Liverpool.
@@BloodRedLFC Yawn. All Hendold had at Mase’s age was a League Cup. Get back to me in 10 years.
@@OzyMandias13 I'm not comparing Hendo with Mason. This video is about Mason but this 'Guts' person just had to mention Hendo. Hendo is underrated. Just because he is not the most technical or talented player does not mean he is not a good player. What Hendo brings to his team is leadership, relentless running (in his prime) and a good pro example to the young ones. Look at Pogba & Ozil, more talented players but have poor mentality and they had faded off.
@@OzyMandias13 A better leader than mount ever will be. Mount is a UCL winner and do nothing for the past years
@kennyt9857 Hendo also brings much need cover to TAA. Otherwise, what's the point of having Trent on the pitch if there's a huge hole on the counter everytime
The off ball stuff is what made him so vital, and he hasn't done that with any real effort for 1.5 seasons and that's the issue you're seeing for chelsea and england. What's frustrating is that he can easily do it, but he'd rather pad his stats. Tuchel called him out from the sideline for being "asleep" multiple times and Potter is seeing the same thing. It's a mentality issue, that being "the guy" is more important than the win for the team.
With all that flexibility he should have no problem adjusting to a new role on the bench
Bro thinks he is funny lol
He really wants that new £300k contract. Spending all his resources on PR 😭😭😭
Lol
Saka and Folden are better at CM. Rice and Bellingham are better at CDM....So the question is indeed yes...what does he ACTUALLY do????
Mason Mount reminds me of a younger Mason Mount. They're very similar players, almost identical in fact. The only thing that seperates them is time.
It’s interesting cause I found myself asking this question as I don’t watch a lot of Chelsea games especially this season but I happy for this content
To me, he's long seemed like the real deal. And he's not the finished article yet, he's still learning.
The man himself always says he's an 8 and I'd like to see him get a long run there. Further forward, he's very useful, but doesn't quite have the consistent deadliness those roles require. Yet.
Skill-wise, he's wonderful. I think in other countries, he'd be a regular starting central midfielder for most clubs.
For England, it's harder. You have club loyalties and more casual fans. With the former, there'll always be 'we want out man' (there's also regional bias). With the latter, it's more about optics, the obvious. And Mount isn't always about the obvious.
People who insult him are the ones who don't play any actual football. Any teammates would love to have a player like him.
Definitely, you need a player that can run a lot and do the running for other players who are way better than him(no-offense). Good at pressing as well and has some desire and passion
The title coupled with how short the video is 😂
wow 👏🏻
never thought he is THAT good
recently i read there is a link with MU (I hope so, as a United fan)
It’s clear when you hear people ask “what does Mount do?” have clearly never really played the game and just watch football🤷♂️ When you play you always want a Mason Mount in your team, makes other roles easier and brings the whole team’s level up
The huge problem with Mount is that he is often played with Havertz and their ideal positions somewhat overlap. It doesn't help that they are played as inside forwards too, as either of them is not great in 1 on 1 situations on the counter and is not really a creator that would give a KDB-like pass to break the opposition's defence. If they are rotated properly and used in the number 10 position in 4-2-3-1, the team's cohesion in attack would be much greater, as that would allow the manager to include either Hakim Ziyech or Christian Pulisic as a winger, and those are the two most dangerous players against packed defences as Pulisic is very explosive in tight spaces and can create space for others, while Ziyech has a rocket of a left foot and he also sees passes that other players don't. Also, Mount had a lot of subpar performances for Chelsea this season where he has no influence on the game whatsoever, but he keeps playing. What I really liked about the world cup so far has been the influence of Pulisic and Ziyech when they are given enough freedom and time on the ball by the manager and played in their proper positions as inverted wingers. It would be a lot more difficult for Potter to keep them on the bench coming so hot after the World Cup.
Could you guys make a video on the structure for the fifa 2026 world cup? Since there are 3 host nations, do they qualify automatically, how does that change the tournament, do qualifiers change?
Haven’t been able to find the answer
they do qualify automatically
I think Mason Mount is brilliant, he’s been in bad form at times sure, but for Chelsea fans to not see his worth baffles me haha. His goals and assists highlight reels are full of classy/skilful moments and he has a brilliant work ethic. Hope he stays at Chelsea for many more years!
mount's just a good all round 10. he isn't world class and never will be
yeah because chelsea fans watch games and know how limited he is when it comes to being creative, dribbling, avoiding press etc. he limits the team severely, with his great engine he could be an amazing system player, but nothing more for a top side like chelsea. i think he would flourish in a weaker team like aston villa, where his team isn't so dominant on the ball and he could provide these moments you listed

Editor wake up and chose violence writing that title 😂
No he didn’t, he was showing the question. That’s what everybody was asking, and the video is answering.
I have a grand theory (!) that positions on a football field in the modern game are more flexible. The nature of lots of pressing and creating short passing triangles means players more frequently exchange position. Like Total Football applied more consistently.
Check out Harry Kane, England's best midfielder (and occasional defender) and number nine.
So whether to play Mount or Foden in the first row of three or the next is not so important.
Thoughts?
Not one stat to back these statements up lol
He’s a good presser and strikes the ball well sometimes. That’s about it
For real bro, he’s so so overrated. He can’t pass at all, he takes a good corner but he’s invisible in games unless it’s against bottom of the table sides where he can score
Thank you for doing this
Love videos like this, i suggest doing a video like this on Vitinha, on his time at PSG and FC Porto.
The fact we even have to ask this question says something 💀💀💀
No it doesn’t lol
@@subairmoyinoluwa8713 Hey, lets be honest, it does 💁
Before watching the video, I’ve never really knew his particular skill set and never really knew why he was a starter on England.
The next video should be where is mounts best position
I think Mount's criticism has become a 'big issue' due to the other choices available that SG seems adamant not to use. And therefore when Mount fades into the background or doesn't seem impactful as a 10, the attack stumbles and forces Kane out of the box. IMO rotation/competition with Maddison would be a healthy contrast to use at given periods.
Lampard and Gerrard with Mount's age were much more concrete.
Can you make a video of what Foden and Saka do

The hate he gets is absolutely insane, and it honestly exposes how little football knowledge 90% of fans have.
Shows how much knowledge they have if they don’t rate Mount as he is a terrible player.
@@prometheustv6558 your stupid if you think his a bad player
@@prometheustv6558 all you focus on is goals but never see the true impact he has on the games just like messi when he does not score he does alot like start attacks provide balance in midfield and contributes to turnover u have no knowledge
The guy is mid.
@@tracymorgansbelly3322 no knowledge
One of my favorite players ❤
We are never beating this guy
He does nothing worth 300,000 per week. He's never going to be better than prime Lingard.

The creative art 🔥
Being versatile doesn't always mean that your good. He's a good system player but personally doesn't think he offers much for a really top team. He's not good enough to dictate a game like a thiago or an explosive box to box like a Bellingham or creative like foden with great close control. He reminds me a little of what gini used to do for Liverpool.. But if you want to evolve and be a better team I don't see him a a regular starter. A good player to have in your squad and to be utalised for certain games. And as far as the goals are concerned he scores in patches... So he's not very consistent with that.
He is a rare case of all Industry with top class technique.
lol. Top class technique??? When you say top-class technique just think for a second who you are comparing him to in terms of technique. Is he on that level of technique?
@@jonathana6943 oh wow you have completely stupified me, and my opinion. Iam out of words i concede to your professional knowledge.
@@fugaziishime Mount is a decent player who has all the fundamentals to a basic and average level but he presses a lot which is important in the modern game and he's versatile which can sometimes pose as a problem for managers
@@jonathana6943 exactly . you are so right. its unbelieveable
never take female football fans seriously
I was asking the same question after two low key performances vs Iran and USA, and like tifo came to his flexibility and football IQ which offers every managers in game tactical fluidity without the need for substitutions which is a massive advantage.
However there comes a time in every players career where for the sake of the player and team the player needs to find a primary position, and having played so many positions in so many set ups hasn’t given Mount an opportunity to master a role.
With such a talented England, Mount is probably the second best player in every midfield and attacking position, so when Mount under performs its easy to point him out and call for the player who’s been left out for Mount we there it be Foden, Rashford, Grealish, Maddison, Henderson or Phillips all of which offer something massively different.
And are all better. Picking Mount ahead of Foden is like picking Milner ahead of gascoine or platt when you’ve already got a double pivot behind them
that's just blatantly untrue. bellingham, sterling, foden, kane, grealish are just all round better than mount
Mount losing possession was a consistent trigger for USA’s big chances. In terms of tactical fluidity you have James Maddison on the bench, who can play in and has played in every midfield position and style at some point over the last three years, Maddison is also a set-piece specialist giving him an extra dimension that amount lacks.
I’m not going to call Mount a bad player, I’m just saying there are clear examples of like-for-like replacements, who at the very least deserve some minutes to prove their worth.
@@glidinggolovinyou're missing the point. None of those players play in the position mount plays for England. Foden is a better player then Wilson but you're not going to sub Foden for Kane are you?
Football twitter is gonna love this thumbnail
Did you decide to make this video after the USA game, by any chance?
Would be twice the player with decent finishers around him. Needs to add more goals and consistency to his game, but there’s good reason why he plays every week. Tuchel rated him and got the best out of him so far, Lampard always did, he’s been ever present for England for three years and he battered the Dutch league after a shaky start and left with comparisons to Cruyff at 19. Has the work rate, desire and technical ability to go far in the game.. and albeit just a rumour, can see how he’d be so good for Liverpool!
Maybe, just maybe he'd have more assists if it wasn't Werner, Lakaka or Boomerang finishing his chances.
Mount has been in the top 5 for chances created in the Premier League for each of the last two seasons. In the last 2 years only KDB is above him in that metric.
@@areebsiddiqui758 Even Havertz, need to see more from him too! It’s frustrating though, I didn’t know that so that definitely proves he’s a creative player!
last season mount did not play LW, in a 3 at the back with only jorginho and kovacic or kante in a pivot, he played as the AM in a 352, which means he helped in various positions. it is embarrassing your braincells can't seem to grasp how impossible it is to play LW in a 352. the position doesn't even exist so provide me with the evidence that mount regularly played LW, when he in fact never, and just played AM, which means being in various flanks and attacking roles. it appears you again do not know what you're talking about at all
mount also had poor performances in the wider areas that he played, when it was a 343 instead. spurs, arsenal, he never played vs liverpool + city. mount was getting dropped regularly by tuchel before he started him against bottom side norwich where he stat padded a hat-trick, where two of his goals came after norwich get a red card. these are why stats mean nothing in football because i study football, and you sit there consuming misleading data because you are cognitively dissonant. i get you're not anywhere near my knowledge of football, but mount played in a false position and performed very poorly. foden was the main reason city won the league as he offered the best legs, technical ball carrying and intelligence that mount cannot do. if you learn football, guys like hazard for previous seasons never got the highest goal output, but was still vastly above someone like salah who basically doubled his goals. i have so many forms of essentially refuting and debunking your arguments while you cannot offer any counters. even ross barkley started over mount against burnley and played the same position, which is an AM, and just shows tuchel dislikes him as he barely started him. mount subsequently played poorly as an RW vs leicester, completing no dribbles, being taking off in 60 minutes. against united he never started either, again eluding to his total lack of trust by tuchel, and his performance against relegation side watford is where he got a goal playing as striker with both havertz and pulisic interchanging, and a similar repeat of this can be found with ziyech instead vs west ham. against leeds, west ham and everton it seems to be some of his better performances in a row but this is all pretty ordinary in the context of describing whether he played well as a winger or not, when he didn't and played across the pitch as an overall runner in behind, linking, but again at a poor level. they finished 3rd for a reason
the only time mount played remotely close to RW is against wolves and he didn't create a single chance and only completed one dribble. he spent his time being in a similar position to pulisic against villa and he didn't contribute anything. pretty sure cho had a far better season all round than mount, as he and reece james acted as the actual wingers while mount got to vacate into the box or just outside for second balls. a great example of another fact that you ignore is how tuchel utilizes his wingbacks to behave as the wingers, like with brighton. pulisic played rwb, cho lw and reece james lwb, meaning mount just played as a second striker to link with lukaku. tuchel made his system so that it had less predictable positioning at the cost of not having a core method to break down teams, and mount is responsible in many ways for why it failed
mount also had another poor performance against liverpool so again, proving my theory that he only plays well against slow, lower blocks where less pressure exists. got dropped subsequently vs city again, so if you actually go through each game, you'll be able to see that mount had a poor season, compared to foden. foden dribbles at far higher rates and it goes back to my argument for hazard. there is no real argument you have other than cherry picking stats while i proved you're basically wrong about the system and its core functions. another poor performance vs brighton, playing AM centered left side. mount played decently as a RM vs spurs but was outshined by ziyech who is average at best, so that just about summarises his overall lack of ability. mount played again as an AM vs burnley and performed poorly in a 4-0 W without him. mount played very average against newcastle where they played a 442 of havertz, werner, ziyech and mount all esentially fulfilling similar roles. mount played as a second striker in a 4-1 loss vs brentford and played poorly. another way to completely crush your argument is the fact that when tuchel finally got the system correct, mount played as a strict AM behind havertz and werner in a 352 and they won 6-0. do your research before you ever step to me again. mount played against as a higher phase AM with werner and lukaku, he again played decently but lost. point is, he played AM, same followed with the next west ham game, in a 1-0 win. mount did play decently as a right attacking midfielder, where james acted as the sole winger in rwb to make up for his slower, unnatural pace. against everton mount played as an AM with havertz for link up play to feed werner. 2-2 draw with wolves he was benched, and mount only played well against leeds because they got a red card 20th minute, where he again scored mostly played as a right sided AM, not as a winger strictly
mount played decently against relegation watford as an actual LW this time and that's every prem game i covered because you were too lazy and ignorant to unclog your biases
so yeah, last season, mount mostly played as an AM, filling in across many positions, while performing only well in 3 big games out of 15 games. he played poorly vs liverpool, united, arsenal, spurs, city and plenty of good teams too. lastly, mount got most of his contributions against red carded sides or low level opposition where chelsea should have won
tifo also doesn't grasp football, because i already proved how mount mostly played as an AM, and when he did play LW or RW, he played mostly poorly. leaen football near my level
@@glidinggolovin I’m not reading all of that mate, happy for you though or sorry that happened.
We all need this. Mase is our promising future but many doubts.
Mase? You didn’t go to school with him
He is such a great player underrated for sure but most importantly he is overhated for no reason
you don't know ball
Simply A contemporary number 10
Do one about Kai Havertz
Mount's PR is unparalleled. Even Mbappe doesn't have this sort of PR.
"He finds spaces" ... That's all I needed to hear, thank you - because Bruno is not always accurate.
people forgetting this guy was in the tots prem last season
Manchester United fans we here aren’t we
Glorified lawn mower this Mount is. He’s out there cutting grass and thats about it..
I’ve been asking myself what he does for a couple years
The fact you have to answer this question suggests not enough. You should have made it more relevant by adding “for England”
Mount is that player you create on FIFA with all stats at 80. Nothing extraordinary but reliable and basic.
😂😂 spot on
@@sathyark4990even the haircut as well😹
HAAHAHHAAA 🤣🤣🤣🤣 YEAH! WHAT DOES HE DO ON A PITCH???
That title has true meme potential on FT
He's absolutely not worthy of the praise this video lavishes on him. He is one footed, can't receive the ball in tight spaces, can't run past players and he is physically small, weak and slow. He does have qualities, he has a lot of stamina and tries hard, he has good tactical understanding, he has an eye for a pass when in space and makes good runs but on the ball, he's extremely average and struggles to impose himself on games.
Mount is Fred with 10% more technical ability
Anyone asking this question probably needs to read Tifo's brand new book 'How to watch football.'
