“Where was he” – Chelsea legend questions existence of current player last night | OneFootball

A Chelsea legend has questioned the existence of one current player after he seemed to be invisible last night during Chelsea’s 2-2 draw against Aston Villa.

It was a hard fought point for Chelsea and pretty much every player played well to earn it. There was one player though who is drawing perhaps more criticism again than other players who played last night, and that is winger Mykhailo Mudryk.

The Ukrainian international has been struggling since the day he arrived at the last last January, and he has not proven to be anywhere near as good as his price tag suggests and how much Chelsea hyped him up when they signed him like he was the next Eden Hazard.

He’s shown some real glimpses of promise, but more often than not he is a passenger in games and just ghosts along in them. His football intelligence lacks and he also plays without confidence.

Blues legend Frank Leboeuf replied, ‘where was he’ when asked about Mudryk’s performance last night, and he was one of many pundits who has not been impressed at all.

“He seems to have no clue how football can be played together with all his teammates,” Leboeuf said whilst analysing the game on ESPN last night.

Chelsea will be hoping that Mudryk steps up soon and really starts to show why they paid so much money to sign him. As I say, anyone can see the talent there in moments, but he’s just not clever enough with the ball and even without it right now and if it wasn’t for his electric pace, he really wouldn’t have much at all to offer. I hope and I am sure he gets better and really starts to show why Chelsea got ahead of Arsenal to sign him last winter, but we’re yet to see anything close to a top player yet.
