Mason Mount's Many Misfortunes

I don't think we are weaker, but we aren't as better as many of the fans hoped.
I might sound crazy and controversial.
But I think he is english.

I don't blame managers for bad transfers. It is the board/DoF which chose that transfer policy ("give manager complete freedom in transfers").
Eriksen is still here, he can play without worries for a period now, that Mount got injured.
He’s going to be Licha of last year. Crucified after first two games and redeems over the season
There's always a hope and a prayer.
I doubt the press will be as harsh on an English player.
Not just the press but our fans too very doubting him and ETH on the signing and how we missed on timber
I said arguably.
Onana is an improvement on De Gea, but we sold Fred and brought in Mount - and I think Fred is closer to the profile we need in midfield than Mount is. We also don’t have Sabitzer’s cover.
Hojlund - though I’m hoping he’ll smash it, is an unknown quantity as of now.
Fred pressed pretty well but had a tendency to give the ball away in dangerous positions on a regular basis and was just erratic in general in possession.
I think Mount can be trusted more with the ball and presses just as well, he'll be an upgrade when the team implements the tactics properly.
Well, Mount doesn't even get on the ball enough to do that.
He made 21 passes against Wolves and 14 against Spurs. Fred averaged 53 passes a game per 90 last season.
Maybe we should pass him the ball more then?
Numbers obviously don't look good but it has only been 2 games, with different tactics and Fred was playing deeper for the most part.
It's lazy to just pick a number out and make a conclusion based on that, look at why.
The same with the tackles, people seem to take as him not doing anything. If you look at the turnovers from pressing in the two games though, he has tended to be heavily involved.
The depressing reality will sink in soon enough.
But do you praise managers for the good transfers?
We are weaker because 2 main players last season (Casemiro and Eriksen) seem to have aged 5 years.
Because we saw him playing for another big PL club for few years now.
Hm, good question.
Nobody has been proven right after 2 games
EtH isn't suicidal, Mount is incredibly flexible tactically and he'll come good. He's going to be great for us once we sort out a system that works.
He is very strong on the ball, press resistant, great defensively etc. How the feck can you compare all that to Weghorst? He wasn't great in first two games, but blaming him for our bad play and losses is mind boggling and hate agenda against the lad.
Some are already planning his replacement after two games. The lunacy as at an all-time high!
It’s rancid how many on here wanted him to fail before he even kicked a ball for us.
The mounting M’s in the thread title are killing me
I think the incosistent of United wingers. Garnacho and Antony in the first 2 games have something to say. Plus a not top performance from Casemiro in the first games.
If Rashford get back as LW and Høljund or Martial play upfront. Eriksen in against team United shall dominate. A more natural cm player. Then i think it will help the team a bit.
The combinations of United XI doesn't suit each others or need a lot of time to get gel and suit each others.
So that are some of the reasons i think.

I know it's really unfair of me to judge him on 2 games... But I'm kinda relived he won't be playing for a while and we have to change this stupid formation around a bit.
Mason Mount makes me miss much more monstorous midfielder Moy Meane
I know it's difficult to believe if you've watched our first few games, but to say he hasn't kicked a ball at all is a bit harsh and exaggerated.
I'm sure I've seen a couple. At least.
He wasn't very nice
Mount played badly, what did I miss?!? I think he played decent.
Oh, wait, he’s the new scapegoat. Replacing him will fix everything instantly.

Nothing. There are just imbeciles trying to prematurely writing him off.
Like Martinez. I remember arguing about his aerial ability.
How long is he out for?
Might have helped that Pep had prime Fernandinho, D. Silva and De Bruyne when he first arrived at city.
Hojlund has yet to play and it’s been two games for the other two. Perhaps give it some time to gel.
Well, his aerial ability is poor. He's been a successful signing despite that so that might not be the best example you could have brought up.
Mive mor mix meeks
Mount is being asked to play a more advanced position so he could press and win back possession. It’s not surprising he’s not seeing much of the ball at this point. It seems our full backs are being asked to cover the gaps in midfield, which would be unfamiliar to Shaw, AWB and Dalot. Let’s give it some time, the first half against Spurs was very positive and we were generating chances but failed to finish.
Weaker yet have three more points than the same period as last season??
No he wasn't. First year at most.
