A sure moan on the Mount

-

CAN someone please explain Gareth Southgate’s obsession with Mason Mount?

The Chelsea man (below) should have been taken off far sooner in the European Championsh­ip Final against Italy last year.

And it was a similar story in midweek against Germany.

Mount looks tired and the substituti­on of him should have come far sooner than it did.

England’s ball retention was poor and it improved immediatel­y after Jack Grealish was introduced.

Southgate hasn’t got them all wrong, not by a long stretch, but for some reason he has a blind spot as far as the midfielder is concerned.
