And I’m not surprised by Ziyech because while I never watched the Eredivisie, he was also nowhere near as hardworking as the likes of VdB, De Jong, Neres, Tadic, Tagliafico etc in the CL. In fact, he was lazy. With Mount though, normally while the quality may not be there sometimes, he is very attritional. Today, and not just on the goal, he seemed unwilling to tackle, stick a foot in or simply track runners. On the goal itself, the worst case scenario was a mistimed tackle and a free-kick for City.
Be unfair to single him out though. For example, Werner and Havertz (only had 13 minutes tbf) had another shitshow, and Kante was simply shocking. Obviously I’m fine with the German lads struggling as a United fan, but I’m surprised after watching them in the Bundesliga and Europe for two seasons.
