“Poch is not his fault don’t bench him”: Emmanuel Petit view Chelsea star will be bench for Aston Villa Match
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Former Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit expressed his belief that Mykhailo Mudryk might be benched for the upcoming match against Aston Villa. Manager Mauricio Pochettino had criticized Mudryk after the Bournemouth match, stating that the player needs to “understand the game better.” Petit sees this public criticism as detrimental to Mudryk’s confidence and predicts he might be benched for the next fixture against Aston Villa.
Petit emphasized that Mudryk is struggling and the public criticism won’t help his confidence. He also suggested that Pochettino should look at other players and not single out Mudryk for criticism, as the Bournemouth game was not entirely Mudryk’s fault.
Mudryk had a bright start in the match against Bournemouth but faded as the game progressed and was eventually substituted. Pundits like Danny Murphy have stressed the importance of regular starts for Mudryk to build momentum, but it’s anticipated that he might be dropped for the upcoming match.
Chelsea has potential replacements for Mudryk, including Noni Madueke, who is back in training after an injury, and Cole Palmer, a summer signing who has shown promise in recent appearances. Either of these players could potentially take Mudryk’s position in the starting lineup.
