Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk played as a substitute in the away match against Manchester City (1-1) in the 25th round of the English Championship. The player sat on the bench for the third game in a row, which provoked a strong reaction from the fans.
Many spoke out against Mauricio Pochettino's decision.
ftblShush: "That bastard Poch saw all the space open in City's half and kept Mudryk on the bench to bring on Cesare Casadei!"
CFC_Dey: "What happened to Mudryk? In games like this with such a high line, why not use him?"
Cfc_paul3: "We would have won this game if Mudryk had come on in the 70th minute".
Nchimunya97: "He should have just put Mudryk on to finish off those guys with his pace. Instead, Poch decided to defend the 1-0 lead."
yanju007: "Mudryk coming on on tired legs would have given us a chance to counterattack... Kasadei was the wrong substitute."
Cartier__Lee: "The board of directors should pay attention to this. With Man City, we had options for counter-attacking when we have Mudryk and Noni Madueke on the bench, and you put them on the game against the Premier League champions! It's a mistake that can be dismissed."
GaloreChelsea: "The coach could have played Mudryk instead of Kasheday because Man City had so much space at the back! Poch is so weak!".
RudeNatty: "No matter how bad Mudryk is, it's his game."
At the same time, there were also fans who said that the Ukrainian could not have helped Chelsea in this match.
EnzoSZN_CFC: "It made no sense to put Mudryk and Madueke on the pitch when we were trying to defend the lead. Both are careless with the ball and provide minimal help in defence. If we chase the lead, then maybe."
_pepeOG: "We'll take the draw. Mudryk could not add anything."
Elebros: "Too many of you have been praying for Mudryk and Noni to come on as substitutes, while these two are under immense pressure and give the ball away very easily."
cherishpaul22: "Your obsession with Mudryk is getting annoying, this guy offers nothing..."
