In recent times, Chelsea has not returned to the magic of the beginning of the season after being attacked by injuries, and the last three rounds of matches have been more average. In the past three games, Chelsea's three opponents in the league have not been too strong, with the exception of West Ham United, Watford and Leeds United are all ranked low in the league, if you look at the conventional strength comparison, Chelsea should win easily, but the reality is that they are very difficult to win. If there is one bright spot, it may be Mount's excellent performance.
In the past three Premier League games, Mount has scored three goals, delivered two assists, and twice won the best player of the game, making him the best player in the Chelsea squad. However, even if Mount played bravely, Chelsea still ended with 2 draws and 1 loss, and after the midfield could not have much support, Tuchel's overall tactics were greatly affected, and Mount was just one of the few highlights of the team. With the exception of Chelsea's prince, the other players have played relatively average, including super centre-forward Romelu Lukaku, who has been brought in for a transfer fee of 100 million yuan.
Mount remains a key figure in Chelsea's squad this season, having played 13 league games so far, scoring six goals and delivering four assists, the team's most goalscored player, and has equalled last season's goals, and with less than halfway through the league, it is possible to usher in Mount's big explosion at Chelsea this season. Many Blues fans have said that Mount, a young man with Chelsea 'pedigree', will become the real core of Chelsea in the future, and will also become the future of Chelsea.
First of all, it must be said that Mount has greatly improved his finishing ability this season, averaging 1.8 shots per game to score 1 goal, which is indeed very efficient. Moreover, the Blues prince's ability to organize the attack is also very stable, and so far, he has averaged 1.4 key passes per game and created 6 excellent opportunities, which is a very key player in the Chelsea squad. However, Mount still doesn't have much to contribute on the defensive end, and there is even some regression on the defensive end compared to the progress on the offensive end.
Of course, there will be fans who will refute Mount's positive running on the field, but many times Mount's running does not really have a decisive effect, this attitude is worth appreciating, but there is still a lot of room for improvement in terms of ability. Moreover, as a midfielder whose job is to pass, Mount has a low pass success rate and the number of passes this season. Of course, this is also related to Tuchel's tactical arrangement, but it must be said that Mount's defensive ability still needs to grow if he wants to make more progress and development in the future.
