“Non existent in his natural position under new manager”, “Imagine the shock” – Chelsea fans slams star player performance despite 2-1 win over Crystal Palace
Mason Mount received harsh criticism from Chelsea supporters for yet another subpar performance during the Blues’ 2-1 away victory over Crystal Palace.
The victory was the London-based team’s first since Graham Potter took over as manager. The ormer Brighton & Hove Albion manager was in charge of the Blues for the first time ever in the Premier League.
Early in the seventh minute, Odsonne Edouard gave the home team the lead. In the 38th minute, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang tied the score for the visitors. Conor Gallagher scored a thunderous goal from outside the penalty area to give Chelsea the victory away from home.
Fans, however, weren’t happy with Mount’s performance. Five minutes after the player was taken off, the Blues scored the victor.
Meanwhile, In nine games this season across all competitions, Mount has only managed one assist. In his most recent season, he played well, tallying 13 goals and 16 assists in 53 games.
The Blues are currently in fifth spot in the Premier League table with 13 points from their first seven games.
Below, fans unloaded on him after his recent performance. Many termed him as a ball boy. Here are some of the best reactions from Twitter:
