Fairly certain there were some that thought he was a pipe dream at the time. Tell anyone in December that we signed both Werner and Ziyech and are favorites to sign Havertz, they would of called you insane.
People are genuinely blind if they don't see how essential Mount is to our build up.
Why is it we create a shit load of chances compared to last season? Because our build up is very fast.
Pep's players are notoriously known for their press and expertise in blocking off channels.
For goodness sake, we saw even against Villa how Kante struggled to create space for himself to allow a transition from defence to attack.
He shouldn't of played. Not the type of game for him.
Maybe when we have more lethal options up top, Lampard will start to bench him on games like this given our conversion rate will be a lot higher.
Don't think Oscar was ever as good as Mount is off the ball.
Not just that, it's the fact Mount transitions the ball very fast. Essential to our build up play.
How exactly? We are no better at defending than where we were exactly one year ago.
This is a coaching aspect. I even remember under Ancelotti, we were awful at defending set pieces.
