How he starts over Foden is beyond me
Everything broke down with him, he's basically a Tom Cleverley.So weird. We could just play a proper 3 in midfield, but give up control just for the sake of Mount doing nothing in the final third?
Shaw was good.Meh. Not a single good England performance. Disjointed from back to front.
Least bad out of a very very bad team performance.Shaw was good.
Shaw and Maguire were good. Especially Maguire.Meh. Not a single good England performance. Disjointed from back to front.
When does least bad become good?Least bad out of a very very bad team performance.
The Caf dream of no. 10.He’s the type of player that will have Chelsea fan twitter being like:
Mount’s game by numbers
93% pass completion
2/3 duels won
1/1 dribbles completed”
And yet if you watch the game with your eyes, the man was shocking.
Not really, it's entirely explainable when he never performs for England. He's obviously doing a lot better for Chelsea but that's no good to us if he doesn't offer anything.Cafés hate boner for him is strange.
Don’t know. Don’t think his performance was anything to write home about to be honest.When does least bad become good?
I understand why, even if I think it’s misplaced.Cafés hate boner for him is strange.
Don’t see any hate, generally tends to be fans simply utterly miffed at how he commands such a guaranteed spot in the England side ahead of the likes of Foden when the latter is clearly light years ahead of him.Cafés hate boner for him is strange.
Meh.Shaw and Maguire were good. Especially Maguire.
He isn't, especially this season.Not really, it's entirely explainable when he never performs for England. He's obviously doing a lot better for Chelsea but that's no good to us if he doesn't offer anything.
I admit I've generally paid no attention to Chelsea this season, they're not particularly interesting.He isn't, especially this season.
Hes not a great midfielder either.When we aren’t in complete and utter control of a game at all times, Mount is always used by Southgate as an attacker because he presses well, especially since Kane is utterly useless in this aspect, Mount basically presses for two people.
Being creative in the final 3rd is not his biggest strength. I don’t understand why Southgate uses him the way he does. You strip him of what he’s good at and you put him in a position that he isn’t his strength where we already have better options. Might as well use Foden or Grealish if you just want him to be an attacker.
Will agree, our attack generally has been pretty shocking though...He isn't, especially this season.
True though. Leave your tribalism at the door.Meh.
I agree I think Mount at domestic level is relatively decent. Never thought of him to be a typical 8 or defensively a 6.When we aren’t in complete and utter control of a game at all times, Mount is always used by Southgate as an attacker because he presses well, especially since Kane is utterly useless in this aspect, Mount basically presses for two people.

It’s not tribalism to disagree about something.True though. Leave your tribalism at the door.
I mean he had a pretty good game against iran its not like the rest of team were world beaters tonight.Not really, it's entirely explainable when he never performs for England. He's obviously doing a lot better for Chelsea but that's no good to us if he doesn't offer anything.
I mean look at the comments, folk are so quick to jump at his back, southgate has his favorites, I don't see so much hate for the others.Don’t see any hate, generally tends to be fans simply utterly miffed at how he commands such a guaranteed spot in the England side ahead of the likes of Foden when the latter is clearly light years ahead of him.
People don’t hate Mount, they find the whole thing a massive head scratcher.
That’s a matter of opinion obviously but he certainly isn’t the borderline useless player I see when he plays for Southgate.Hes not a great midfielder either.
