Played Norwich twice. That’s 6 of those 21 GAs. Scored 1 goal that season against a team higher than 12th in the league at the time.
Look he’s a decent player and we all hope he works out for us. However, a lot of us are struggling to see him as a player worth spending £50m on when we already have Bruno. It’s a bit depressing that even when I read someone who thinks he will be good they invariably start with how good he is at pressing, rather than his actual football ability.
You could arguably do that for every player. Chances are that they will score or assist more often in games where they are much better than the other team. He also assisted the only goal in Chelsea's win in the CL final.
I agree. Personally, I wouldn't sign Mount and would rather go for someone that brings us more control and fight in midfield. I can understand what Ten Hag is trying to build, though. There won't be a lack of presence in the midfield with our defense pushing forward and playing a high line and full-backs tucking into midfield. And for what he is trying to build, Mount is a very good fit. I hope he does well and really excited to see how he does here.
