Mykhaylo Mudryk

Wait did people really think he would play against Liverpool every week?
 
Bullet dodged for Arsenal. He looks absolutely shite. Another Boehly masterclass.
 
He doesn't play for United so will be given a free pass by the mouth breathers in the media.
 
As much as I want him to be a massive failure, he has played less than 90 minutes of football.
 
What was unforgivable for Mudryk tonight, and this doesn't matter if he is new, in a different league or needs to settle in, was the three 50/50 challenges he backed out or jumped away from.

He needs to get much stronger and braver if he wants to succeed at this level, as right now he's way too soft.

First of all defo way too soon to say that and secondly he would have been far better at Arsenal I've said this since Chelsea signed him. Arsenal are such a better coached team and their style is much bettet suited to Mudryk. He would have been a good signing for Arsenal no doubt.

This 100%. I would be concerned with that too. He is going to have to toughen up and is also going to have to learn to adapt to the pace of the game.
 
He's a transition player. He'll be more of a threat in big games where Chelsea have less of the ball and he has lots of space to run in to. Looks to have quite a big adaptation to make to be Premier League ready, though, but that's to be expected for a young player coming from a significantly weaker league.
 
Excuse me for derailing again, but would he not be suspended like Cavani had he been from any other country on the planet?

Anyhow, missed that first half. Saw enough last time around to expect him to be a super tasty player.
 
He did look decent against Liverpool but that was against 50 year old James Milner and also that game was so horrendously awful Mudryk looked good just because he came on and ran fast and dribbled past a few.

The standards for that game were at absolute rock bottom, the slightest bit of skill or quality stood out so much more.
 
He might still turn out decent but at least this puts the absolute hysteria over one or two decent touches on his debut into perspective.

Aye, it's a lot like when certain people decided that Nunez was going to be better than Haaland based on the Charity Shield. :wenger:
 
It was wrong to drag off Mudryk at half time, it was the kids second game and now he’s had his confidence shattered. What a needless decision to make when it’s so obvious Mount, Gallagher and Havertz are in such poor form. Way to go Potter.
 
He was literally ill today wasn't he? I hope this guy flops but it's too soon to write him off.

Potter said he had a severe cold during the week, which meant he was pretty heavy legged and lethargic which begs the question, why did he start?
 
Did nothing really and neither did the bloke that came on for him.
The two fullbacks for Fulham looked like the best players on the park.
