His managerial chops remain unproven but he’s unusually eloquent, good-natured and generous with his time, and in all respects precisely the kind of manager journalists warm to.So far Derby seem to be responding well to his presence, and by all accounts were excellent against Brentford on Saturday. Mason Mount scored again, his fifth of the season in all competitions. When I read Simon Hattenstone’s excellent interview with Kevin Keegan today, and saw his comments about the current England team – which he says has “the same problem that England have had for a long time since Gazza went. Where’s your Eden Hazard, your David Silva, your De Bruyne? Where are they? There’s an orchestra there, but nobody to conduct.” – my thoughts immediately turned to Mount (though there are other potential candidates).
