Graham Potter: I cannot understand Mason Mount critics
Chelsea manager Graham Potter has praised Mason Mount and admits he thinks criticism of the English midfielder is strange.
The 23-year-old
Mounthas been criticized for his lack of output but he scored twice against Aston Villa on Sunday and Graham Potter said working with Mount is a joy.
He told Chelsea's official website:
“It's a joy - he's a fantastic person. He loves to play football and loves the club. It's part of life, everyone is entitled to their opinions, that's fine. I can only speak from my point of view and as an outsider, whenever we played Chelsea, you're always concerned about Mason. You can see the quality he has and if you give him a second, you give him too much space, he can hurt you with his qualities.”
Mount is Chelsea’s academy graduate and has scored 32 goals in 173 matches for the Blues. Potter also said he can not understand why there is mixed opinion about Mount.
"It is surprising to get a few questions with a mixed opinion on Mason, I find that strange, especially from the outside. When you start to work with him, you see he has everything he needs to be a top, top player. A great attitude, he understands spaces, he can execute, he assists, he scores goals, he is top."
four-game Premier League winning run came came to end on Wednesday in a goalless London derby against Brentford. Chelsea is in fourth place with 20 points after 10 matches.
