After Mykhailo Mudryk performance last night Chelsea fans are all saying the same thing about him
Recommended Post
Chelsea fans are echoing similar sentiments regarding Mykhailo Mudryk following tonight’s resounding 6-0 victory over Everton.
Mauricio Pochettino observed his attacking line dominate the pitch at Stamford Bridge, especially during the first half, where Cole Palmer secured a hat-trick within a mere 29 minutes.
While Nicolas Jackson showcased his prowess with a goal and an assist, and Noni Madueke posed a threat down the right flank, Mykhailo Mudryk remained notably subdued amidst his fellow attackers’ stellar performances.
So, what’s the verdict among Chelsea faithful regarding the Ukraine international’s lackluster display against Everton? Let’s delve into their reactions…
Chelsea Fans’ Response to Mykhailo Mudryk’s Performance
Certainly, some Chelsea supporters were far from impressed by Mudryk’s outing against Everton.
Given that it was only his 11th start in the Premier League out of a possible 31 this season, it’s evident that he still has much to prove to Pochettino.
Regrettably, the Argentine manager likely wasn’t left dazzled by Mudryk’s contributions.
According to WhoScored, the Chelsea No.10 managed only one shot on target and embarked on just one dribble – a disappointing statistic considering his perceived strength in this aspect. Mudryk, whom Marc Cucurella recently lauded as a “hero” on social media, also tallied six unsuccessful touches against Everton, alongside committing a foul. Additionally, there were no defensive contributions such as tackles, interceptions, blocks, or clearances.
There was a promising run where the 23-year-old set up Palmer for what should have been an assist, only for Jordan Pickford to deny them on that occasion.
Certainly, one can empathize with Mudryk when facing formidable opponents like Kyle Walker, Virgil van Dijk, and William Saliba. However, given Everton’s lax defensive stance tonight, it’s disappointing that he couldn’t capitalize on the ample opportunities provided.
Let’s see what Chelsea fans had to say about Mudryk’s performance against Everton…
Missed Opportunity
This presented an opportunity for Mudryk to impress Pochettino ahead of the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City on Saturday. Had the £88.5m player dismantled Everton’s defense akin to Palmer’s feat, he might have warranted consideration for Pochettino’s starting XI at Wembley.
However, it would be surprising if Pochettino opts to start Mudryk – who has been considered for a striker role – in such a crucial match following his underwhelming showing against Sean Dyche’s side.
