Yes, Mount's failure is an enormous black mark on the manager. He was central in a European Cup winning team, assisting the winner. He was sought after by the who's-who of top European mangers. He had more than 30 England caps by 23. He is clearly a good player.
There were questions marks raised, however, around how he would fit in this team.
Hence my first post on the subject ..

This is what the manager tried to do, playing Mount alongside Casemiro & Bruno. It was a dismal failure. As a result he has been discarded, and we find ourselves in a position whereby Bruno + Mount cannot play in the same 11.
In that context, an awful signing dropped into an absolutely awful system of football that flatters not one of the eleven players in it.
