# Chelsea: Yannick tears into ‘off the boil’ Mason Mount

**[Chelsea](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/chelsea-fc-news/) YouTuber Yannick has torn into [Mason Mount’s](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/mason-mount/) ‘off the boil’ performance for [Graham Potter’s](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/graham-potter/) side in their 0-0 draw with Liverpool.**

### The Lowdown: Mount lacklustre against Liverpool

Mount [struggled](https://www.sofascore.com/liverpool-chelsea/NsU) in the Blue’s [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) clash with Liverpool, he attempted zero dribbles and only won two of his five ground duels.

The Chelsea midfielder also had no shots on goal and ended the game with a 71% pass accuracy across the 82 minutes he spent on the pitch.

Carney Chukwuemeka [replaced](https://www.skysports.com/football/liverpool-vs-chelsea/teams/464841) the 24-year-old, in a fixture which saw [January signing](https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/mudryk-completes-transfer-to-chelsea) Mykhailo Mudryk make his [debut](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mykhaylo-mudryk/leistungsdaten/spieler/537860) for Chelsea.

### The Latest: Yannick labels Mount as ‘poor’

Speaking on his [YouTube channel](https://youtu.be/0KbSjaU5n4o) ‘Football Therapy’, Yannick said he was disappointed with Mount’s performance against the Reds despite the fact that he did play a wonderful ball to Hakim Ziyech.

He stated (11:08), “Mason Mount was poor, he played one beautiful ball when Ziyech nearly scored.

“But despite that he had a bad game, poor decision-making, just not overly great. He’s had a couple of great games this season but he’s been off the boil and I love Mason Mount. Maybe the contract negotiations is distracting him, I think he is an excellent player.”

### The Verdict: Mount should be dropped

We believe that Potter should drop Mount for the next couple of games, he’s not been up to par in his last few appearances in a Chelsea shirt.

The midfielder [has](https://www.transfermarkt.com/mason-mount/leistungsdaten/spieler/346483/saison/) five goal contributions from 19 league games, but he’s failed to score or assist in his last four Premier League matches.

Potter could bring in Carney Chukwuemeka as a potential Mount replacement, he [arrived](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/12664359/carney-chukwuemeka-chelsea-reach-agreement-for-permanent-transfer-of-aston-villa-teenager) for a big fee last summer costing around £20 million.

He’s found it hard to work his way into the Chelsea squad, [featuring](https://www.sofascore.com/player/carney-chukwuemeka/994556) only eight times in the league and starting one of those matches.

It could be a great opportunity to give the 19-year-old a proper run in the Premier League, plus it would give him some much-needed experience he’s only [featured](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/carney-chukwuemeka/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/659459) in England’s top flight on 22 occasions.
