Mason Mount has really been out of form in the last couple of months, and fans are struggling to explain why.
One popular Tweet today pointed to one potential reason – his insane workload on the pitch in recent years. It noted he’s played 214 games in the last 3 and a half years.
It’s easy to forget now that Mount also had spells in his last two season where he dropped below his usual standards. The reason we forget is that he ended both campaigns playing well. We’re sure he will get back to it again, but a break from playing every week has helped him before, and we reckon it could again.
But there is a reason that Graham Potter has kept playing him, and it’s one that most Chelsea fans understand: because he’s one of our best and most important players. Potter sees the same struggles that we do, he just has the faith that Mount can get back to his best.
