“His football IQ is worrying”, “Don’t bring this guy back next season” – Fans wants Chelsea star to end his Chelsea career after poor display in 4-1 win over Tottenham
Chelsea picked up an important 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur as manager Mauricio Pochettino returned to his former club for the first time since 2019.
The Blues, however, looked unconvincing for large periods of the encounter, and needed two red cards to win the game.
It was a match full of talking points as the Blues turned up for their London derby against unbeaten Tottenham in North London. They came into the match on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Brentford in their previous league match and needed a win at all costs.
Chelsea had to come from behind to defeat Angel Postecoglou’s side, who lost James Maddison and Micky Van de Ven, two of their most important players, to injury. Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson scored a hat-trick for the Blues, the first of his short career at the club.
Despite the win, many of the club’s fans and neutrals were unimpressed with the performances of some of the players in the match, especially Mykhailo Mudryk. Having come off the bench for the Blues in the second half, the winger was called out for his performance by fans on X (formerly Twitter).
Some fans believe that the Ukrainian’s cameo was so bad that it warranted him getting kicked off the team, while many others complained about his display.
@Bd_irB_ll: This Mudryk cameo should end his Chelsea career I’m being so serious. You can’t bring this guy back next season
@rajsinghchohan: Mudryk football IQ, it’s worrying, it really is
@HawkesCr7: mudryk is so so bad, arteta icl. this ID is getting spooky
@SznTenHag: Jackson doesn’t even trust Mudryk to score an open goal
@Culturecams: Mudryk tried to recreate his Arsenal goal. It wasnt intentional homie.
@SeanDOlfc: Mudryk needs 5 years in an academy
@AlexGoldberg_: My eyes are bleeding from this Mudryk cameo
@isoquince: Mudryk finding a way to drop a 0/10 against 9 men is impressive
Chelsea did not need to depend on Mudryk in the match as a number of other players showed up for them and helped them pick up three points.
