Not just media, saw it even here. When criticizing our attackers people say things like bar Mount.
Would not focus on anyone of 7 attackers in any way. Positive or negative. But gotta respond when I see things like that.
In August, Sep, Oct and Nov he had just Norwich. December was great scored in 4 games in a row but as expected it was just a honeymoon period. He had those in 2 previous seasons as well.
19/20 4 goals of 7 from 2nd to 8th round
20/21 4 goals of 6 from 23rd to 30th round
Now exactly month since last goal (8 games he played).
Also of his 7 goals just one is against team higher than 15th place on table.
He had 3 really good games this season Norwich, WH and Watford. Against Everton and Leeds he also scored but when you have 2 sitters and score one miss other and do nothing else you did not have a good game.
Of all attackers:
Lukaku scored in 7 games around 400 mins less than Mount played
Werner in 6 around 800 mins less than him
Mount in 5
Havertz in 5 300 mins less
Ziyech in 4 around 500 mins less
Pulisic in 3 around 800 mins less
CHO in 3 around 350 mins less
How is he better than any of them?
So really want to understand that narrative that exclude Mount from our attacking problems.
Our best games this season maybe Juve 4:0 he did not start, Spurs 0:3 replaced at half time we scored all 3 goals in 2nd half.
Biggest praise he get this season is when we lost to City x2 and Juve in Italy because he did not play. That is all you need to now.
But I have bigger expectations from some others so I am less upset with him but just annoyed with this narrative about him. I swear I saw POTY campaign started already 😂
