Take Mason Mount and put him into a balanced possession-based team with systematic chance creation methods and he *WILL* flourish.
Tuchel often gave him that & he accumulated 29 goal contributions in 50 games last season, even though he didn't have a set front 3 to create for.
Imagine Mount in that right half space for Arsenal/City, where he could reliably combine & interchange with top players in a system that enables the sustainment of pressure, reliable combination play, compact pressing, etc. If Ødegaard played for Chelsea he'd have the same issues
People often say Potter plays him in his preferred role as the #8 but that is such a simplistic way of analysing the game it's laughable.
Are we going to ignore that his 3-1-3-3 system is fluid to the point where there's little sustainment of pressure or even basic combinations?
🏴 Mason Mount won more total duels (2/3) in just 10 minutes than Jordan Henderson managed (0/6) in 80 minutes against France.
