Chelsea legend Pat Nevin has slammed 'daft' criticism of Mason Mount with Blues boss Graham Potter also questioning doubts over the 23-year-old's ability.
Mount reached 139 games for the club since his breakthrough under Frank Lampard in 2019 and has one more goal for the Blues as Lampard did in the same number of appearances (32). Despite being one of Chelsea's best players over the last few years, Mount has come under fire lately with his manager publicly defending him against the 'strange' criticism.
Potter believes a lot of the England international's qualities are hidden from view, despite his impressive output and productivity, along with the fact he has won the Chelsea player of the Season award twice already. The Chelsea boss has previously spoke about the sacrifice Mount has made in the team to benefit others, but his brace against Aston Villa proved just how crucial he is to the team.
