Great video as always. I'm curious how much of a fit you think Mount would be at Arsenal?
Barcelona? They need guy who fits in with the inverted winger system they're playing and mount can also play in midfield.And if he's "FREE" then definitely barcelona 😂
Liverpool I guess
@@ImChandu777 he’s not free
@@mmsjejrinside385 After contract expiry maybe?
This is amazingly good, way better than bunch of highlight clips mashed together, thanks for the effort and time
Bruno Fernandes is criminally underrated
I agree
Nope, he disappears in big games.
@@rayan.idr.10000 how? he is the second best mid in the Prem after Debruyne but Bernado Silva is more underrated
Agree
He’s talking about Mason Mount 😂
Although he may leave in the summer, his contributions shall not be forgotten. Our player of the season for 2 seasons in a row and a player who always gives it his all. Wherever he goes, his future shall be bright. Will heavily depend on the wishes of the new manager.
where do you think he is leaving
@@noidegsegom4091 bohley doesn't want to pay him the bread he thinks he deserves. He will leave to get what he considers fair remuneration for his talent.
We'll take good care if him at united
@@RMIDRIS terrible singing hes Bruno 2.0 we don't need another careless baller at united .
@@mm2801 lol bruno is a phenomenal player bud! And mount is not too far behind him in a lot. It’s a good signing. We desperately need some other positions filled, but we are better off having him than we were when we didn’t have him.
United fan. I came across this video while trying to find out what he is about. Very pleasantly surprised by the level of analysis, and objectivity. Subscribed.
Appreciate it bro
As expected quality content❤. Can you do Emile Smith Rowe next?
He was fantastic in those first few months under Tuchel and was even good for some period into Tuchel 2nd season, but it all fall apart once James/Chilwell went down injured. Still, he can obviously be quality in the right set up and with the right manager. Newcastle is a very good shout and can see him do well there.
Or at man utd 🙈
Great take! Finally a sensible take on Mount! Lots of nuance that is never acknowledged by other analysts and Chelsea fans, making this so controversial a topic 😅
Mount is crap sir, wait for two months, you'll understand that
Love the channel bro.
Keep up the good work.
That last part bothers me. To compare Mount to a player that can do what Mount does but even as a RB? Valverde has that Lampard sense for Goals outside the box. Power shots. Speed. Passing. Link up play. To compare Mount to Valverde is an abomination.
In conclusion in this video you said that Mount is an meh player who survives on running errands for the coach? Fairs.
Great job as always 👍🏻
Hands down one of the best football channels on YT. Not an exaggeration.
Would love to see a Vid about Sofyan Amrabat next. Always hear his name around a move to a big club this summer
People keep saying he's best as an 8 but I'm not so sure tbh. Doesn't really have the positional discipline to play deeper in the midfield and goes chasing after the ball too much. Also, his passing in the buildup phase leaves much to be desired. He's an interesting case to be sure.
Anyways, what is your next video after this? If you don't mind, my suggestion would be Diaby from the Bundesliga since his Arsenal links are growing. Or perhaps Jurrien Timber since Ten Hag is likely going back for him in the summer.
Excellent work as always. 😊
I don’t think he’s a dominant 8 . Roaming 8 yes but not someone I can trust to take up defensive duties for the team
@@limaontoby3300have you ever watched Mount? His defensive stats surely will put him in the 95th percentile of Central Midfielders and higher as an Attacking Mid.
Your statements do not coincide with the actual statistics. Come again.
Wijnaldum role is a good comparison because at times Wiji was cowardly too & he didn't show for the ball/never looked to make a brave progressive pass and seemed to be more of a help each team mate out rather than have specialised tasks that he had to perform with little margin for error. Mount is similar, I'd say quite a few players fall into that bracked, you can't afford to have too many of those- Bentancur, Willock, Macallister, Tolliso etc, they never get singled out for a bad performance because them failing isn't as clear to the eye as a specialist failing.
Mount has better pass and body position/off the ball movements than Gini though, Gini was a beast in tracking back, counterpressing situations and scored many goals but from crosses or low cross passes (something mount doesn't do).
As for MacAllister he is better at dribbling than the other 2 and he just sometimes plays too safely still good nonetheless. haven't seen any midfield 3 from the Prem dribbling as much as Alexis does.
absolute waffle. MacAllister is nothing like those players you mentioned.
Wijnaldum played reserved at liverpool because that was the role Klopp wanted from him, whenever he played with the netherlands he went forward more and took more risks. liverpool’s system doesn’t require goal scoring or creativity form the CMs. We rely on forwards for scoring and fullbacks for assists.
@@renickjeune8761 I agree if looking at his performances for Newcastle but for PSG and Roma he never got back to that level.
You clearly haven't watched Macca play if you came to that conclusion you donut😂
I’d take him at Liverpool. I know people think he’s fallen off, but didn’t we all think Rashford fell off? And look how well he’s done under a new manager with some different players? Point is great players can have their careers stagnated by factors beyond their control. Perhaps Mount is another instance of this.
but don't you think his price tag is too high to take the risk?
@@sebasbandera I do think it’s super high, especially for a player who’s not gonna sign an extension. Ideally, I’d have preferred more like 50 mil instead of 70, but at the end of the day all I really care about is the quality of talent. No untalented player should be bought, so if we think Mount can add to our talent pool, im for it. Plus when you consider we got Gakpo for something of a discount, it kind of balances out.
@@SixDrums rashford is still the same player, his performances haven't really improved only his goal output. He still has the same flaws: poor decision making; poor touches; poor passing; overrunning his dribble and worst of all still greedy. High G/A doesn't equal good play.
@@mm2801 More like Rashford had 1 bad season and people turned on him. He was absolutely world class before his back injury, and still performed very well in 20/21 playing through injury. Utter rubbish comment lol, and clearly didn't watch Rashford in seasons prior to last, or are one of those troll United fans
@@tombrady5587 G/A doesn't equal good performances. He still has the same flaws: poor touches;poor passes;running down blind alleys; poor defensive effort ; selfish play. Don't let the goals cloud your judgement. You should watch whole matches and not just the highlights sir!
Great vid! I would love to see an extension of this series where you would feature classic players like CR7, Lampard, Henry, etc
He’s done a couple a while back. The one I remember was the Edgar Davids video. Hopefully they make a comeback
we definitely need that odegaard analysis one of these days 🙏🏾
Very detailed, worth the effort ✅✅✅
For me he is best suited to playing as an 8 and then to a 10. He makes a good inside forward but he is ideal on the left of a midfield 3, would suit Liverpool perfectly right now.
For me as a inside forward in one off cup games, he can definitely do a job but as a fixed role - he is too easy to play against. The role you suggested is a better long term fit for him imo 👍
People think playing as an 8 is easy . Sometimes you need tenacity and bite to help cover up distance for the team . Been a complete box to box is different from been a roaming 8 . KDB x mount x Bruno are all roaming 8 . Who can do a good job as a 10 too . More natural 10 can be Erisken x odegaard etc . United needs more of a dominant traditional 8 with a midfield bite like caicedo x Jude x kovacic. I’m taking mount at united if united is supplementing that with another CM who can do casemiro job like caicedo
@@limaontoby3300 IF ERIKSON CAN PLAY THAT ROLE PEREFECTLY I HAVE NO DOUBT FOR MOUNT
@@limaontoby3300excellent. In this current man utd midfield, they need someone that can make those short distance passes and in tight spaces, as well as line breaking passes. I don’t see how Mount fixes or helps with this in the United team
@@youngbeats4984 Erisken doesn’t play it perfectly mate , man city x Liverpool all ran thought out midfielder without any issue come on what game have you been watching?
Very interesting regarding the mention about him not wanting to be the star player. Profound
Feel like the video misses Mount’s greatest attribute - which there appears to be very little data available, but clubs do have data and algorithms to quantify this - and that’s his off ball movement and appreciation of space. It’s something Roberto Firmino was probably the best in the league at as a forward and I do believe Mount is one of the best in the league at it as a midfielder.
I’ve said for about 12 months now he should be used like Valverde at Madrid and I genuinely believe he’s Henderson’s ideal replacement at Liverpool, who for years was ‘misbranded’ as a 6 when he was really an old school right midfielder. I think Mount is similar in that he’s neither a 6 nor a 10, but doesn’t really fit the traditional profile of an 8 in the league. I can see him thriving in Liverpool’s system in the role Klopp has been asking Harvey Elliott and now Henderson to occupy, which is a bit of a ‘free role wide 8/10’ where he leads the press and attacks space in overloads and transitions. Liverpool have never really used the classic playmaking 10 role, but Lijnders in his book often refers to Henderson as ‘our 10’, with the free role being used more in defensive situations and in off ball runs and movement. These types of players are essential to system football.
We cover his movement via the crossing section and also the goal scoring section where we talk about his timing of runs and inside to outside movement to get into crossing positions. Agree with your post thiughh
@@PythagorasinBoots I watched and enjoyed the video, I was more highlighting that it’s something that isn’t showing up in any kind of ranking or data which the screenshots were showing, of course it was touched on but it’s difficult with the lack of data available to truly show the impact. There was an interesting piece on The Athletic titled ‘Roberto Firmino has been a transformative player for Liverpool - this is why’ where somebody had built a model to quantify space creation and the results were staggering. We all know Liverpool and Will Spearman look closely into these kind of models and algorithms and without having seen any of the data, it does feel like Mount is an ode to Liverpool’s analytical approach to signings. He might not be staggering to watch when he’s on the ball, he might not have the highest bracket of technical ability, but he is good, his attitude excellent and his versatility should be vital to Klopp’s often underrated ability to tweak things throughout the season.
Feel like theres was more context or details to talk about in his game with this analysis. He was more of an attacking mid under Tuchel than an inside forward, he would drop into the channels and occupy the half spaces too.
I feel like you just took Mount for how he was used under Tuchel, without realising that, Tuchel's use of Mount, doesnt define the player over all. There where lots of other aspects to mention about his game
Great breakdown 🤝
I wouldn't say killer pass is a strength, he continues to make the wrong decisions in the final third and can be trigger happy. I often see him choose to shoot instead of playing in a teammate in better positions, as a Chelsea fan i think it's better for him to leave for Liverpool, i don't think he's irreplaceable
Continues to make wrong decisions in final third yet has the highest chance creation + assists for Chelsea and top 5 in the league. You Mount haters really just say anything
Rashford literally disappears in most of our games but no one scrutinises him because he is English, 2022 - 2023 season he scored only 5 goals, you immediately became dump because it was a local lad. You people hate foreign players
Mount is 10/10 if you cherry pick his highlights and ignore everything else. He's always been a consistent 6/10. His best attribute is his work rate, but I'd not expect big performances every week
Good video, Could you please do one on Manuel Ugarte next
Really good video, i agree on most points and you backed them up with stats but his vision.. it is not good st all. His tunnel vision hinders all our other attackers
same tunel vision found kai in ucl final.
@@careerjohnoy3623 Literally a wide open pass. Unless you want to call Kai a goalscorer cause he also broke the deadlock in a UCL final?
@@careerjohnoy3623 move on mate its been 2 years ffs
Please do Manuel Ugarte at Sporting next
Very good analysis. However, we tend to forget he is only 24. I'm sure he will improve under Eric Ten Hag at Manchester United.
Here We Go!
What do you think of him at Utd? And if they still play a 4-2-3-1, do you think Bruno would become the deeper player next to Casemiro?
Excellent video and great statistical presentation, looks like he's on his way to UTD,
Appreciate it Raymond
Now I see why Ten Hag wants him. Our we need better pressing and ball-winning players. Id definitely prefer mount over Eriksen but I don’t know if I’d want him in the same midfield as Bruno Fernandez. He also can play without Bruno Fernandez because we need his creativity.
I agree. Him in the field with Bruno could be chaotic but I guess if we can get him then why not. Trial and Error until something works.
Seems like Ten Hag is looking to combine Fred's press and interception with Eriksen's killer pass in Mount. If we can sell Fred and McTominay and get Mount for 50 million, I think it is quite logical
@@Lekurishkun yeah that’s exactly what I felt like we needed was Fred’s energy and press with Eriksens on the ball ability. Also Eriksen has missed a lot of goal opportunities he should of scored that hopefully Mount could put away. My only concern is we need an upgrade on casemiro in the 6 then because we’re going need more quality on the ball in that position if we are going to play advanced 8s but I think he’s working around that by getting Kim min Jae who is an elite passer of the ball from deep and using him and Martinez to build up play and maintaining control by having highly technical cbs because we don’t have a regista
@@ewitdakey8683 finding an upgrade to Casemiro will be so tough since nobody is better than him in #6. No player on the market is having the quality he possess for now. I hope our academy and scouts can do the job.
Not to mention, EtH will instil that discipline in him, will coach him to become better. Did anyone of Man Utd fans think Fred will have the season he had? He was diabolical last season and this season he improved a lot, so did McTominy, so Yes, I can be certain Mount will become better with EtH as his coach.
Are you planning making Edson Alvarez video? Would he be good enough for Chelsea?
As a Man Utd supporter, I really enjoyed that video
He's just like Gavi. Casuals think they're overrated but these two are more technically gifted than people think.
I get what you’re saying but gavi is miles better
@@footballvideos9955 I'm a Barcelona fan and I don't agree with you.
They're different profiles and in some areas, Gavi is better and in some, Mount is better.
Overall, Mount is more experienced atm but I think Gavi has a higher ceiling
@@lator1941 lol
great analysis as always. Please make one on nicolo Barella. Would love to see that one and I am sure others will tooo.
Great suggestion!
+1
according to the DM united are to bid 55m for him, this could be a ploy to get Rice too, who is his best friend
nice analysis
I beg to differ on the goalscoring point. Mount actually has more goals than Lampard and Gerrard respectively had for Chelsea and Liverpool at the same point in their careers
Yeah he has better goal contributions than Lampard did when they were both at the same age
We waiting for that odegard vid 🙏
He’s a good player and I hope it works for us 😊
He is just like de jong, an all rounder thats niche and hard to place inside a team. But unlike de jong he is a more of a phase 2-3 player. To be honest, im excited to see him play in man u as a 8 besides casemiro and bruno. It will be interesting to see how mobile that team will be.
He’s nothing like de Jong
looool you smoking crack clearly
Not even similar a little bit
This comparison is wide off the mark. He's not like De Jong at all.
Please do make a video on Diogo Costa the Porto/ Portuguese goal keeper 🙏
Coming soon
Top video.
Now that he joined utd and what do u think midfield three of bruno Casemiro and mount?
he'd be excellent for united. similar to eriksen in the 8 who has the energy to press. he's a champions league winner and team player of good character.
Eriksen was a playmaker Mount is more a AM. If we signed him id expect Bruno to drop little bit deeper.
He can play that anchor role to connect defence and attack in that man utd team
please do amadou onana or lois openda
Thoughts on his transfer to manchester united? how do you think he’d fit under ten hags side?
Excited to see what he brings to United
Excited? He's no different from Sancho
This will tell you why Eth want him… will be great addition
Top content.Can you please do a content on Bruno Fernandes?
We as well need Mason Mount, his a good business footballer, I pray the deal gets confirmed just soon🎉🙏🎆
Then still on Greenwood, Let him be allowed to start playing matches... This is really too much. We're really missing this young talented player. I need Erik ten Hag to see his performance in matches, then he will know his being missing out on a player for long now. That young talent needs to compete with Anthony in that attacking left position. I bet the coach it's gonna be a superb competition for the both player's... There will be great result from both this time. 💗💗💗💗💗
Can you do one of Reece james and Ben Chilwell
Please do Joao Neves next want to see if he’s a good fit for United
He'd be a good addition to the United squad and under ten Hag he'd vastly improve
Ten Hag would improve him Ten fold......look at Spider...He is different class now
I always think that Mount is a super talented player just that he doesn't want to be a standout star for his team just like a debruyne I don't know maybe it's because of his low confidence level that he can be the main star midfielder for his team. I think he just needs to be spending more time in the attack than always coming to defense. He needs to believe that he can be that star player for the team I mean that he can carry the team. Cus if it's for the abilities he's got it in bountiful.
I can’t see him developing that mindset at Chelsea as you’re always looking to bring in big stars on big money - even KDB felt overwhelmed in that sense at the Bridge.
Under Klopp he may have a very good opportunity this is JK Specialist
@@PythagorasinBoots please make a video on martin odegard
MM @ManUtd with their X’analysis coaching setup, and a progressive manager in ETH would bring him out of his shell, and become the standout player, that the England manager, saw in MM…
Good stuff, I’d be curious to see him at Liverpool but I wish we hadn’t fumbled Jude 😔
Liverpool were never in for him it was all sports media and fans stirring the rumour mill, I mean could you honestly see klopp spending 120m plus on one player...? when you need at least 4
He's going to join Liverpool or Newcastle, most obvious transfer from a mile away.

I love his goal against Leicester
Did I spot Bellingham in the Liverpool line up? Did you pick Mount for Liverpool only if they signed Jude?
Been a follower for a long time was wondering if you would do one on Kaoru Mitoma
We made it. It was removed by TH-cam and we got a strike in the process for copyright. We've reuploaded it to Patreon.
@@PythagorasinBoots oh that’s unfortunate… I’ll be sure to check it out in your patreon though… much love.❤️
Can you please do a video on ceballos
Wow! You changed the thumbnail.
I don't know if you can do one on Luke Shaw... he's revitalized his career again
And Dalot will be interesting
Is zubimendi one your looking to do I think if chelsea get Enrique he’s going to push boehly to go for him
Yes he’s on our list to do
Better analysis than Lampard!
He will shine anywhere he goes. Chelsea will regret letting him ho and treating him with contempt.
Get mount, unlock antony and Fernandes... no wonder he is top of the list for summer
Please do Nicolo Barella
Man is good at counter attacking football
Please Maddison tactical analysis
he can be van de beek or berghuis when ten hag coach ajax
Van de Beek is already at United. This is a waste of a lot of money.
Mount should find this form at United when the season starts. He’s one to watch but would need broad shoulders to carry the weight of that United 7 shirt.
Brother where are you taking your stats from? If you don't mind me asking :)
Wyscout
I call him a world class utility midfielder. I’ve said the same thing as about camavinga.
Except Camavinga is miles better than him already and has a much higher ceiling
hes like a hybrid to prowse (plus with more accurate set pieces)
Now please do one on Debruyne
He deserves more of a legends video at end of career
I'd play mount as RHS interior in a box midfield personally
He’d be good in front of an inverted Trent and next to Salah, overlapping with him.
Gerald and Lampard always score more as they're spot kick taker
Would Mount fit into Ten Hag system?
Mason Mount, Ruben Neves ,Declan Rice and Youri Tielemans will all be good additions for united
Can u do about Hojlund pls ?
Coming soon
What's his best position?
Absolutely don't see Ten hag plans here
How would he fit with his new team mufc
This entire video is just about how great de bruyne is 🤣
He's different gravy tbf
For you to be regarded as great, you must be compared to the very best.
Can u do one on henderson
😂😂
Mount x bruno x case❤❤ Will get better this season..🔥🔥
When is the Osimhen video coming up?
Tomorrow
@@PythagorasinBoots Isn't it already out on Patreon?
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
I don't think Mount will suit with Liverpool
Yeah he's good at pressing & crossing, but liverpool need a Mezzala who can cover the back when the fullback overlap & has a great workrate like Gini
I think the ideal replacement for Gini is Barella, not Mount
Fair but couldn't mason play as a mezalla he is dencet at crosses when he is confident and paradoxly has good vision but doesn't utilize it enough
@@LFCMarcelo can he cover the position left by our overlapping fullbacks? I don't think so
Think wd b a good option fo arsenal.replaces xhaka as a left sided no 8.more like a creative support for odegaard.
Do Nicolo fagioli
Best on this video, i agreed with term GOOD.
KDB fall under term BETTER😂
He is chamberlain replacement in liverpool squad
you sound familiar, what part of Bradford you from?
Not from Bradford!
ah my mistake, how about Ilford?
Mount would have been perfect for Liverpool
