MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 If Mount is to have any success here it would be in that Kovacic role we saw the 2nd half. Muzchap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Kova is prime at that fold. He just glides past players. End product is suspect- but still a great player Atomiswave and Vesper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He kinda has already. He’s really a b2b who presses high up. he’s just a bit off atm esp final third, which happens. That’s why it’s important have a quality squad like we do.

Atomiswave 6,117 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I for one have zero pain regarding Mount, he will come good soon enough. Some have forgotten how good he was last season, yes he is not quality atm I agree but he will come good im sure of it.

He practically plays as a CF/CAM when he does. When Kante came on and we played a 352, Kovacic operated as a box to box. Mpunt would strive there IMO.

Popular Post! Stats 7,145 Posted September 19, 2021 Popular Post! Share Posted September 19, 2021 Wow. Wow. Total dominance. That second half change worked wonders. Absolutely dominated after that change. Dominated the midfield. If Rudiger wants £200k p/w, I hope the club give it to him. He is a colossus. Thiago Silva was a boss. He is still one of the best CB in Europa at his age. Christensen was fantastic too. Alonso had another fantastic game, he was simply brilliant. He made a couple fantastic leaps and is able to stand his own against physical strikers. Kovacic again I will say had another fantastic game but he does not get the praise he warrants from the media and even Chelsea fans alike. I was worried about the team we put out as thought it was a bit too defensive and first half it was very 50/50, however that change second half helped us dominate the game. Will be interesting now to see if we go 5-3-2 against City. KTBFFH! Strike, Warning_Hazard, Atomiswave and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s one advantage mount has: he allows the manager to change the system without making tactical changes (current form aside of course). either way we have so much quality atm it’s just incredible compared to other seasons.

He said he’s wasnt ready to talk about positioning/movement (tweaks) considering the lack of energy in the first half. Must have been an interesting locker room at half time.

Warning_Hazard 156 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Best win over spurs in ages. Was worried about lukaku today, Bit of quality in the defense and he went missing but it didnt matter. Onwards and upwards KTBFFH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
