One thing I noticed last season was that Martinez's ability to break a press with a vertical pass into midfield was excellent but often the receiving midfielders weren't comfortable taking the ball on the half turn and progressing to the final third. A lot of our attacks either broke down or slowed down at this point and we ended up going long to the wingers to cut out this step. Now that we've got a solid ball playing defender, we desperatly need a midfielder with the ability to receive the ball in space on the half turn and progress it to the likes of Rashford and Antony quickly. It looks like Mount fits this role perfectly, while having the ability to chip in with goals and assists. He will also bring down the age of our midfield.

Yea, McTominay is absolutely terrible at this, you'd often see him hiding behind an opposition player, or playing it sideways instead of turning on the ball. And Fred in this position would try to switch it, and end up hitting it into the stands if he's under the slightest bit of pressure. And the little we've seen of DVB last season suggests he'd be so far forward that he'd be in danger of being offside.

@@haynsrfrmost of the people who are moaning and bitching about this signing, don’t have very good footballing brains in my opinion and/or are jealous of what players our rivals are currently making, even though the transfer window has barely started. If we can also add a top ball-playing goalkeeper ie Andre Onana and a world-class striker such as Harry Kane or Victor Osimhen to this team, it will completely transform the way we play next season. We will be able to play far higher up the pitch and win the ball back far higher as well, because both Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes are two of the hardest working, and versatile players, in the league. I’m buzzing at this signing too, because I’ve always rated Mason Mount; I was terrified at the thought he may go to Liverpool instead.

Finally someone has explained this signing properly, I would also add United has plenty of midfielders that like to naturally play in the left channel and not much in the right channel. Mason Mount has played there a lot for Chelsea and would bring a nice balance to United’s midfield. I’m really excited about this signing, hopefully we can now sell both Fred and Dean which will allow us to spend on more positions.

Brilliant video. This is what quality football content should look like.

I’m so glad that someone has made this video, this is what I’ve been saying about Mount for ages. Ten Hag tried this formation a few times with Fred playing this role, and our best performances of the season were those games. The problem is, Fred isn’t quite good enough on the ball to start there all season. Mount is the only quality player who can play this role perfectly. This also suits Donny VDB perfectly. He’s very good at everything mentioned in this video, and I honestly hope that ETH gives him one last chance. He’s been very poor as a lone CAM and I really dislike him in that role, however, when he’s played deeper next to Casemiro, he’s really shown how good he is on the ball, and at receiving the ball in tight spaces, making lots of intelligent passes to keep possession. I know the fan base is tired of him, but I really hope that ETH gives him one more chance. VDB and Fred as backups to Mount could even mean that we don’t need to sign the likes of Rabiot, as long as at least one of the two can find some form. I also think Sancho would be incredible in this role, weirdly. Great at intense pressing, picks up intelligent positions, his best attribute is his link up play and short, progressive passes. With his lack of aggression and somehow the inability to take a man on, I think a deeper role would suit him really well. I’m excited to see this in action, I really think this could transform us in a way that not many people are expecting.

@keithrobin6566

11 ай бұрын

You're right on VDB, as a lone CAM he is always looking to score and he is always in the box. However, I noticed that when he played deeper alongside a good CDM like Matic, he was more creative and more on the ball. He made crunch tackles and was better overall. However, I think the Rabiot signing would help with the CDM role as we don't have a direct replacement for CASEMIRO and I actually believe a CDM shd be a priority signing for us so we can release Mc-Fred. Even if we were to get an understudy CDM who can also play as an 8, but very good at the 6. Then our midfield would be sorted and we can look at Strikers next.

@keithrobin6566

11 ай бұрын

My other thought on the Mount signing is that Bruno might be made the 8, the one who carries the ball from defense to attack, like FDJ and Mount is the 10. Bruno played as the other 6 alongside CASEMIRO and he looked so good in that role at some point last season.

@oscarjenkins7505

11 ай бұрын

@@keithrobin6566 Yeah, I like VDB a lot more when he’s able to get on the ball a lot more and show his real ability. Apparently we’ve just missed out on Rabiot as he’s signed a new contract with Juventus. We’ve also missed out on Tielemans and Thuram, who were both great options on a free. I hate how slowly we move in transfer windows, even Thuram alone would’ve saved us so much money that we really need elsewhere, especially now that De Gea has gone. I do 100% agree that we need a CDM, tho. It should be one of our main priorities, yet I see no rumours about it at all. Lavia is expensive (around £50m), but he’d be a perfect backup to Casemiro. Hopefully we can get VDB or Fred on some form so we don’t need another backup CM. I don’t trust Eriksen after his form towards the end of last season tbh, he was never the same after the injury. He also doesn’t fit into the new system. Bruno was unbelievable in a deeper position, idk why ETH didn’t experiment more with him there, but he seems to prefer him in a more advanced position. Our best performance when Casemiro was injured was actually with Bruno playing as the deepest midfielder, and Mctominay playing an attacking b2b role next to him. Maybe that could be an option if Casemiro is out, with Bruno, Fred/VDB and Mount all in the same midfield.

I have to say I'm one of the Dads (and a Utd fan) who's always watched England and wondered how he gets a game, so found this really interesting....here's hoping there's something to it....would love to see us being able to go toe to toe with the Citys, Arsenals and Lpools of the world and not just have to rely on counter attack...and despite loving Eriksen so much for the silk he brings, I do think he's a bit of a luxury player in the big games and gets found out a bit defensively when he's asked to play next to Casemiro....

Came here to convince myself that he is good enough after the here we go, I think we'll appreciate him the more he plays

This is why tenhag wants mount 10:10 basically, he liked multi positioning players when he was in ajax Blind, Berghuis, Timber are them

One thing I always found interesting was that every Chelsea manager and fan always rated Mount highly, while other fans never seem to rate him, that makes me think he has something that doesn't always show up on the stats page that only people who watch him every week see. While I don't think he is a world-class player, I do think he is someone that is worth getting.

I must say, I thought that Maddison was the better “value buy”, but seeing your superb video explaining Mason’s “extra benefits of his all round game (pressing, positional cover etc.), I am a total convert. Lets hope we also do get a competent No. 9, along with Diogo Costa … and then we’re all set up to at least ‘Mount’ a challenge for the title…. excuse the pun!

Great video. A blend of stats and eye tests. You always need both to assess a player.

Why this is a great signing? - he is young, full of potential and we have seen how ETG can develop players - in training he will be learning from Eriksen, Casemiro, Fernandes Very very exciting indeed.

I'm happy we got him, he's upgrade for eriksen we've missed last season. "When" casemiro gets suspended Mount would fill in the defensive work along with another no.8. Most importantly Mount is a teachers pet and endeared to every chelsea faithful, he has the age and passion and does the required running and compliments Bruno the best. All the other alternatives touted have record of bad locker room track record (rabiot, caicedo etc). And also this feels like somewhat of an ultimatum of sorts from ten hag to get the deal over which shows he already has all the plans in place for Mount to thrive.

You got yourself to blame for getting rid of De Gea, there was no reason to replace him this season

Brilliant analysis! Spot on.

One more thing to add... What is the main difference between this season and previous 3 years? Most of the lineup is similar (or same). Midfield played solid. Defense was solid. The biggest difference was Mount in form in previous years dragging us into TOP4 offensively and Mount being out of form/injured, where nobody else had no impact to help that. Basically Mount was the only player, who worked properly in offensive part of the game (except of wingbacks). And nobody was able to replace his input. Once he was injured, our numbers went from mediocre to terrible. And did not matter if we played Felix, Noni, Sterling or anybody else. Even this season - we were never doing really well this season. But look at the results and play. Until March Mount was playing. We had some wins, mostly tied the matches. Since his last match 4th March, we had 1 win, 4 ties, 8 loses. You can blame Lampard, but wasnt it partially us missing the most influential player in the team?

Beautifully explained

after all the saga on Frankie djong, we were not that much in to cacemerio, look how he took our heart, Martinez is also another and am unable to rule out Weg Horst either because he did some job done and it was a panic loan after the injuries in mid season, but if ETG put his time and dedication to sign some one believe me its because he is about to cook us something tantalising.

I wasn't sure exactly why it was Mason but this video makes it very clear. Nice.

Great insight into Mount

your explanation of how precise that mount's pass to havertz is incredibly accurate cos havertz could literally only take one touch before ederson got to the ball and he got a touch still

This also explains well the dynamic with liverpool's midfield where szob will be more the fernandes and Mac allister will be more the 'mount' kind of role

I believe mount is a great signing, maybe up to Licha level last season. We would still require a world class no 9, but with mount in the team, perhaps it would unlock more scorers among the players that would sum up to the single no 9 (if in the end we dont get the no 9 we wanted).

Even for Mount himself, he’ll be benefit from a system that’s a better fit and a manager who knows how to use him effectively.

Stats don't lie.

Many channels try to justify the signing in some form or other likely because enough people probably feel it's underwhelming or doesn't fit. Just like Kai Havertz to Arsenal

Fernandes and Mount in the same team doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Very different players, but they're both best deployed in the same position, CAM. Mount will need to adjust his game if this is going to work. To be fair, he's the kind of player who is capable of that. I rate Mason Mount, but I'm not convinced this'll be the great signing some people think.

Lindelof was good as a backup but we missed Licha's tenacity and playmaking. Varane is too injury prone to be relied on. Maguire is well, Maguire... Lisandro got some injuries during the season. We need 2 fast CBs, we shd have gotten Min Jae to replace Varane. And then a younger CB as 4th choice We can then sell Maguire and Lindelof (a bit harsh).
