Glen Hoddle applauds Chelsea coach Graham Potter for dropping Mason Mount against Dortmund; Here is what he said.

Potter is smart for dropping Mason Mount as cited by Chelsea former coach Glen Hoddle.

This was after Potter dropped the English star from his team’s starting XI that drew 1-1 with West Ham United in the Premier League over the weekend.

“I am not surprised. In the length of time I have been in football. I have been waiting for that to happen,” Hoddle said (via Daily Star).

“He is a very, very good young player, and he has looked sharp for many years. I think he needs a rest at some stage.”

He added, “He was playing England games. Southgate trusted him and played him a lot. He needed a rest. If you look from his days, even at Derby, Frank [Lampard] played him all the time. He was always in the team. [Thomas] Tuchel was the same. He has had a hell of a lot of football.

“He is only human, he is a young man, and I have been waiting for him to tail a little bit. The best thing for him is to take him out for a little bit, give him that breather, and then he’ll be chomping at the bit.”
