‘Where is Mudryk?’ – Chelsea fans question Graham Potter
Many Chelsea supporters were left questioning the decision to replace Mykhaylo Mudryk with Christian Pulisic in the starting line-up, according to reports by Goal.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Chelsea boss Graham Potter made three changes to the side that beat Leicester City 3-1 last weekend. While Benoît Badiashile came in for Marc Cucurella and Reece James replaced Ruben Loftus-Cheek, it was the alteration in attack that raised eyebrows among certain sections of the fanbase.
Mudryk had returned to the side for the previous game, after being an unused substitute for Chelsea’s wins against Leeds United and Borussia Dortmund. The Ukrainian forward had shown promise, even registering his first goal contribution for the club with an assist for Mateo Kovacic’s strike.
Despite this, Pulisic was chosen to complete the attacking trio alongside Joao Felix and Kai Havertz, leaving some supporters to take to Twitter to express their confusion over the selection.
@MatthewCoutts6: “Why is Pulisic playing instead of Mudryk again!!!!”
@CFCRevamped: “Potter is so weird mann, literally a perfect game for Mudryk with his pace and physicality to disrupt the Everton low block….why is he on the bench making way for a Pulisic that isn’t even match fit.”
@JosephAdeyinka8: “It’s a bit disappointing Mudryk isn’t starting games till now, didn’t even expect Pulisic to come in ahead of him.”
@NoisyMV: “Pulisic???? Why does he keep on with this? #CHEEVE”
@Benham_CFC: “Really not sure why Pulisic is on the pitch, Please prove me wrong… #CheEve”
@IsmailoffMurad: “Where is Mudryk?”
@CFCVibez: “I get it, easing Mudryk in is a good thing, but momentum is also something. He’s just come off a start against Leicester where he played well and got an assist. You’d think keeping that momentum would be better then benching him a week later. No? I’m fully trusting Potter here.”
