The only forward (exc. Hojlund) on our roster capable of following tactical instructions?Hopefully not for the one that spunked 80m on Antony.

The eye test? I welcome you to the year 2023. We have computers. They are magical machines made of sand and powered by lightning.He didn't pass the eye test, a bit like you wouldn't if you nipped down to Specsavers.
I'm sorry but stats can make any player look good, if that player has a passing accuracy of 100% but the passes made are sideways and backwards, he's not use.The eye test? I welcome you to the year 2023. We have computers. They are magical machines made of sand and powered by lightning.
And the stats god said " let there be progressive passes and distance covered by passes stats", and there were these stats and it was good.I'm sorry but stats can make any player look good, if that player has a passing accuracy of 100% but the passes made are sideways and backwards, he's not use.
Anyone could see Mount shouldn't be playing CM for United or England.
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.

Not necessarily, does Mount have a reputation for kicking off?Another Sancho Saga is brewing!

Dude, you read like a very ignorant person.
He has played on the right occasionally but mainly played no.10 or left of attack so he’s more back up for Bruno and RashfordHas he ever played off the right before? Antony is in very poor form at the moment and Bruno playing out wide doesn't work, so it may be worth doing the square peg round hole thing again.
I expect him to start Sunday

Mount has fewer progressive passes per 90 than Harry Maguire this season.
Bruno, Eriksen, Casemiro, and Amrobat have all managed at least double per 90 compared to him.

Pep signs players and waits a season until they are good enough to fit in with his team and nobody says a word. How do we know Erik isn't taking his time to allow him to acclimatise to our team and will play him when he is as shit as the rest?
Feels like Amrabat (or Casemiro) Mount Bruno midfield three is too light. Or is that not what you’re saying?Mc Tominay
Re-watch the last game we played and tell me who missed the chances.Yep 80m for a winger that doesn't score or create but wait he follows instructions. The Manchester united analytics team is out of this world.
With the exception of Bruno (who is our best player and the best creator in the league), all other mentioned players are expected to have more progressive passes since they play from further back and are facing more of the field. CBs are generally among the players with the most progressive stats.Mount has fewer progressive passes per 90 than Harry Maguire this season.

Why do you think this was a poor signing? Because of the quality (ability) of the player?; or the fact that it's become quite evident that our esteemed manager doesn't have the faintest clue how to accomodate him into Manchester Utd?
Mason Mount is better than SMT. I would say he is a better player than Amrabat from what I have seen. I actually would drop Bruno for him, and do you know why? Firstly, because Bruno goes missing in too many games, has a questionable attitude on the pitch which is someone who complains, rather than inspires... and secondly Bruno is out of form.
Mason Mount and Eriksen should be ahead of Bruno for the No 10 position. Mount has not even been given the opportunity to show what he can do. Every, every player needs games. Not seven minutes at the end of the odd-match! How some can judge Mount based on how ETH has used him thus far is beyond me.
I say again, Mason Mount is a good footballer, and a decent manager would, if they knew what they were doing, make sure that he adds something to the side. Put Mason Mount into that City team, or Liverpool... I would add Spurs, Brighton, Newcastle, to that list and you see a player there. I am not suggesting he is Ballon'D'or .. but he's a good footballer. Hard working, clever, responsible, technically good on the ball, and a genuine goal-threat. A good Mason Mount is a headache for the opposition because he's a dangerous player.
But look at his treatment by ETH? It's nothing short of a joke.

I think the professionals do know better in most cases but at united it's not any expertise we have in scouting and analytics is used. We have gone all in on recruiting players eth wants to fit what seems like a flawed tactical planSo much for the professionals knowing more about football than we do.
Everyone on the cafe and their nan knew Mount wasn’t what we need in the summer. We all saw this coming.
However, surprised to see him dropped this early. Thought he would be in the team till at least Christmas. Guess the manager is hanging on for dear life right now and can’t afford passangers.
Do Al-Nassr need an attacking midfielder by any chance.
And we were told in the summer that ETH knows more about football than we do so the fan base should back any signings he makes.I think the professionals do know better in most cases but at united it's not any expertise we have in scouting and analytics is used.

Surely in Mount's case it's because he's been utter garbage and a waste of a player. He offers nothing other than that he can run around. I mean Fred could do that and we'd have saved £55million.It makes no sense. There must be a reason he‘s not playing that we are not aware of. He‘s not even coming off the bench.
Neither is Mejbri which is also concerning.
Is there a single core quality to attacking midfield play that Maddison isn’t infinitely better than Mount at?…..
I dont believe for one second that he's already fallen out with the manager or that the manager chose him in the summer and has already given up on him in less than 10 matches. I think we'll find out he had an injury or personal issues
That doesnt mean I think he'll come good on his transfer. Just that I'd be surprised if the manager is so weak willed that he put his name on the line with a player and gave up so easily. Whether he turns out good or bad for us I think he'll play plenty of games for us over the next 2 years and may well outlast the manager
