 down to come off. It just didn’t come off for him tonight," former 

 and England goalkeeper Rob Green told BBC Radio 5 Live after the Three Lions' goalless draw with the 

"That doesn’t make him a bad player, it happens. It was baffling that he stayed on for the 90 minutes. It was strange."

Mount did stay on for the whole game, but the only positive moment with his involvement was his shot at the end of the first half that was saved by Matt Turner.

After the game, a lot of fans turned on Mount, clamouring for Phil Foden to be in the team instead of him.

The Chelsea midfielder had only one shot on target and was anonymous even compared with most of his England teammates.

 in the starting line-up, even though there are some fans sticking up for the 23-year-old.

Simon Johnson, Twitter: "For club and country, Mason Mount has been used too negatively by the coach for too long. Just employed as someone to press opponents in possession. Not saying he should have stayed on for the full 90 tonight, but  he’s better than that."

CfcSheikh, Twitter: "Even as a Chelsea fan I can say that Phil Foden should be starting over Mason Mount."

ParkerZA, Reddit: "Mount isn't the problem, it's 

 and his inability to coach a football team. They look like 11 players that have got together for a kickabout."

BH, Twitter: "Mason Mount starting ahead of Phil Foden is the most laughable thing I've seen today"

Marco, Twitter: "Watching this Pulisic vs Mount performance, you wouldn’t believe which one gets grilled by the fanbase and which one wants 300k a week."

'He is a manager’s dream': Why Mount will be 'a teacher's pet' for any boss - explained

In a column for The Times, ex-England midfielder

The Three Lions struggled to break through the lines as Iran sat deep. It was Mount's clever movement that allowed 

 to deliver the ball into the final third to the 

Without an extra touch, Mount then laid off the ball to 

 who was running towards the goal. Seconds later, the ball was delivered to Bellingham in the box.

"If Mount takes another touch, everything slows down. The momentum and flow within the attack would not be the same and it may not result in a goal," Lallana wrote.

"Of course, the header from Bellingham is superb, though I like Mount’s contribution because it shows real tactical understanding. That is why he is a manager’s dream.

"The glamorous selection by England would have been to play

"He implements on the pitch what Southgate wants from his team and he will be doing that at Chelsea too.

He needs to step up and perform on a more consistent level, for both club and Country

try actually going to a game and see what Mount does rather than just follow the ball on TV!! Mount is constantly the player that defends from the front and that is why he played the whole game against the USA. Its why every manager he plays for keeps picking him - and I think I trust their judgement more than a bunch of armchair fans!

I am a die hard Chelsea fan since 1996 and it's safe to say that Mase is probably one player that has mostly divided opinions. While the English Chelsea fans understandably see Mason Mount as a generation talent, most of the international Chelsea fanbase think Mase is overrated and overhyped.

some how I agree if the plan is not working  go to plan B
