I don't see how that can be unfortunate since McT is shocking in midfield.I just unfortunately assume we’ll see the Case/Mount/Bruno three with McT dropping out.

Because it doesn't work as a three, not saying McT should start but would rather we go for mobility/pressing ability given we will be going long ball anyway - so Amrabat, Mainoo, MountI don't see how that can be unfortunate since McT is shocking in midfield.
Mourinho signed Bailly didnt he? He played a lot in his debut season and in general was pretty good. Then injuries and poor form finished him off after that.It kind of feels like Baily all over again. The manager who signed him refuses to play him.
A bit strange. You splash out 60 mil on a player to have him warming the bench

I also never see the trio of Case/Mount/Bruno ever working. It was a bad idea in the summer and it's a bad idea now.
And that one mistake he made sealed it for him and after that Mourhino didnt want to play him. It actually boggles the mind he didn't get enough minutes when he was available and the same thing is happening to Mount.Mourinho signed Bailly didnt he?

Agree with you. Put Mount on the wing and let him compete with Antony. I think he'd prove himself to be the better player.
There's always going to be times when there's no clear route through but I think his point was it's easier to get the ball out of the back when you have Martinez and Shaw that have the ability to actually pass forward passes through the lines.We controlled possession just fine at the back, that was part of the problem. There was no clear route through, which was an issue even with Martinez and Shaw at various points in time. It's the coaching/instructions, but he'll never admit to that. He was banking on clubs pressing us and us being able to find pockets and quick transitional situations to create goals. Clubs have read him like a book and just allow us possession instead and block up routes through the middle to our hybrid 8/10s.
2 goals 3 assist in 12 games isn’t really great numbers though, especially when considering the fact he has been so wasteful with possession. I wouldn’t say he is undroppable based on that.

Personally I was never a fan of Mount but at least give the man a string of games before judging him.
I doubt that, given a high proprtion of the Caf were disappointed with the signing and questioned why we needed him.Got hammered on here for saying this was a poor signing and it’s proving such. Easily could of paid the extra money and gone for Rice. Bellingham was always going to Madrid but he would obviously be first choice. Murtogh and Ten Hag wasted a huge chunk of the budget when he is no better than what we had tbh.
We had about as much chance of getting Rice as we did Bellingham i.e. zero.Got hammered on here for saying this was a poor signing and it’s proving such.

I guess that makes sense. Shaw and Martinez are a level above our other defenders in terms of controlling possession. Once everyone's fit, I assume the plan is to use Mount more frequently and we'll see less of Amrabat.ETH said to Scholes tonight that with the defensive players out we can’t control possession at the back as well and there are gaps in midfield. Explains why Mount is dropping out.

They did press us until back line spamming long balls so they stopped. Mctomminey is a false midfielder, every tine he starts, we dont have any form of control.

60 million and not in consideration for coming off the bench in a game we were desperate for a goal.
I'm not sure he's a ETH signing, something doesn't sit right with me on this one now.

Couple it with an Italian termthe false number 8, sounds like the new hipster midfielder thing.
He is 100% a Ten Hag signing.60 million and not in consideration for coming off the bench in a game we were desperate for a goal.

He has played very well. His absence now is tactical, not performance related.Y'all are extremely quick to give up on players. At least give him a single season with the team before he's considered a failure.
He's still finding his feet in this team. As soon as we don't have a knife to our throat we'll find opportunities for him to make his mark.
For which top club, scouting agency or analytics agency do you work?Complete waste of money, had ten Hag watched England at the WC, he would have realised this also.
We should not be allowing ten Hag to control transfers going forward. Buying Mount and then promoting Mejbri and Mainoo who play the same position is very poor squad management.

To be fair The issue is changing from the build of structure of last season (3-2-2-3) with vertical passing in the build and the second 8 regular dropping alongside the DM to enable the left fb to join the attack. To the new structure (3-1-3-3), with shifting the ball alongside the back left and right before picking the pass into midfield. It leaves the sole holiding player having to fend off 3 players to receive the ball, with the three infront too high or wide forcing us to pass wide to progress the ball. Way easy to defend against for most teams because all they have to do is funnel our passing into wide areas, significantly reducing our ability to be fluid in passing let alone to create chances.We controlled possession just fine at the back, that was part of the problem.

Don't really see how those two returning will plug the gaping holes in midfield when we lose possession sufficiently to make the two advanced 8s workI guess that makes sense. Shaw and Martinez are a level above our other defenders in terms of controlling possession. Once everyone's fit, I assume the plan is to use Mount more frequently and we'll see less of Amrabat.
Most of the top teams play with two advanced 8s.Don't really see how those two returning will plug the gaping holes in midfield when we lose possession sufficiently to make the two advanced 8s work
Compared position and minutes too?Bruno has 3 assists and 2 goals. Mount has one assist. Come on mate.
I’m not arguing that. Just saying that nothing can be worse than a midfielder that hides from the ball and averages a pass every 15 minutes.I also never see the trio of Case/Mount/Bruno ever working. It was a bad idea in the summer and it's a bad idea now.
