OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Gareth Southgate hit the nail on the head. “I was saying in the autumn that he is a very good player. I suppose now Thomas Tuchel picks him, everybody will agree,’ Southgate told a press conference. ‘When it was Frank Lampard, it didn’t count for some reason. ‘He’s an exceptional player. He finds space intelligently, he manipulates the ball very well, creates chances, scores goals. ‘I thought his performance was excellent tonight.’ sainttourist, bigbluewillie and oldportblue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mount can become was Oscar was suppose to have turned into I won't be complaining. Agreed. When I hear about Oscar, it seems like he came, missed a pk in CL final and then left us to join Arsenal at his peak. When in reality, he was an important player to win 2 PLs and then left on an excellent deal for both him and the club and very far from his peak. (and to china of all places) Regarding mount, I am happy to have been right about him. Thought some of his attributes were very underrated around here. While I understand that folks have personal preferences about style, and what they expect an attacking mid to do, it's a team sport and we need AMs with very different characteristics to make it work. Mount IMO is actually very unique in the squad: hard to replace him when he can't play. oldportblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount IMO is actually very unique in the squad: hard to replace him when he can't play. I agree with the point to a degree, he was a good player here but lets be honest he was so irrelevant in that second PL title win with Conte, as soon as we swapped to a back 3 he was out in the cold and played 4 times since September before he left, after originally playing the first 5 games with Conte in a 433. And when Conte challenged him to stay and fight for his place instead of going to China, he left. The deal was excellent for the club and player yes but we got the much better end of it. Undoubtedly. Getting rid of a player who looked like he may have truely struggled to fulfil his potential, who didnt play in the starting 11 every week, for 60m... only one winner there. robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Mount is twice the player Oscar was/is, Oscar was massively overrated, his name was bigger than him. Mount is controlling things for Chelsea and England, imagine that Vesper and bigbluewillie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Oscar was more creative and capable of extraordinary goals. Still what he lacked was Mount's consistency, hunger and leadership. That is why Mount will probably become a captain and legend for Chelsea while only the more meticulous Blues fans will remember Oscar in 30 years. robsblubot, Johnnyeye, Fernando and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Huge difference. Under Lampard last 13 PL games he had 13x90. In 16 games under Tuchel he played 5 times full 90 mins. Frank was so obsessed with the kid it was not healthy. And I said almost a year ago. All the hate he was getting was on Frank. Ironically Tuchel is much better coach for him.

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Didn’t exactly play fantastically, nobody did but in a moment where we were second best he popped up with a bit of magic to give us a bit of breathing space. How anyone cannot see or choses not to see how key Mount is to this team is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorginho and Kovacic couldn't pass forward to save their lives and any time our defenders tried to play forward passes, they overhit them. Even Tuchel said there was a disconnection between the back 7 and front 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
