One goal contribution in 8 games: stats show why fans shouldn't be worried about Mount's poor form

Whoscored

 has only managed one goal contribution in his 8 games this season. That came with his assist for Raheem Sterling in the 1-1 draw against Salzburg. 

However, stats show Mount had only managed one assist after 8 games last season. The Englishman went on to record 13 goals and 16 assists in all competitions. 

Besides Mount, only Mohamed Salah and Jarrod Bowen recorded double figures in both goals and assists last term in the Premier League. 

Thus, talk of Mount's poor form is clearly too early. Let's judge the player towards the end of the season. 

Agent explains why Rudiger left Chelsea: 'He was offered half the amount Lukaku was earning'

 to facilitate the German centre-back's free transfer to 

The defender refused a contract extension offer from 

 before the sanctions. After a Todd Boehly takeover, the new board did not have enough time to propose Rudiger fresh terms as he had already accepted Madrid's offer.

Now Rudie says Toni wanted to stay at Chelsea but found the Blues' offer insulting.

"What if I told you Chelsea, and the old regime, basically made next to no effort to keep the player," Rudie said on Talksport, as quoted by the Daily Mail.

"At the time he was very happy to stay and potentially be the captain of the club. 

"He was offered a contract that was half the amount 

Rudiger had new Chelsea contract agreed in 2020 but Granovskaia pulled the plug for one reason (reliability: 5 stars)

 this summer. His contract with the Blues expires and talks about extending it reached a dead end.

Goal.com reveal the timeline of the German's negotiations with the club.

In the beginning of the 2020/21 season, Rudiger 'verbally agreed' to a one-year extension. It would have kept his salary at £100,000-a-week with his contract now running until 2022. The offer was made at the time Toni was Chelsea's fifth-choice centre-back.

However, Marina Granovskaia dismissed the agreement last-minute when Rudiger asked for a 'small signing-on bonus'. 

As Rudiger became a key player under Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea re-started the talks in August 2021. They offered him a £140,000-a-week salary. The players' camp considered the offer not good enough.

The Blues initially made him an offer he wanted but it was too late, partly due to the sanctions imposed on the club and partly due to his negotiations with Real Madrid.

They say you are as only as good as your last game. Seriously thou. Mount appears to be be in poor form, may change  of position play in from midfield  wide may help him, his other is he doesn't find his team mates offen enough 😉

I believe you. One has to only look at his performance stats for the past two seasons. He's been one of our best player the last two seasons least we forget

Mount doesn't play in the same position as Pulisic and gets more playing time. So I'm not sure we've seen the best of Pulisic. Ziyech is worthless.
