Slowly growing. Looked much better when moved on LW after Pulisic sub.

Was baffled at him playing Central for soo long in today's game... the lad is a winger.... not a a striker/false 9.

Slow and steady, glad to see him not so wasteful today with unnecessary skills.

What I liked about him were his passes and layoffs. He is not a mere eyes on the ground  speed merchant winger but has some playermaker abilities. So would not be totally wasted if we continue 343

Not entirely sure how a LW is wasted playing LW

There is no LW in 343. The width is provided by the lwb, the left and right in the front 3 are offensive playmakers/AMs

What? A 343 is LW ST RW.

Not really. The way we play it we have a box midfield of 2 dms/cms and 2 AMs to help create overload in midfield and facilitate breaking lines. You can tell by Felix and Havertz often dropping deep yet centrally to pick up balls instead of running up and down the touch line like wingers would .

But the way Mudryk played at Shakhtar he often came in off the left after starting there, cutting in and ended up centrally more often than not so its not as if he’s an out and out winger who would get wide and stay there.

I get the point with Felix & Havertz being more as 10s or second strikers but Havertz is often playing centrally as what is supposed to be the 9. Maybe suits them more as the front 3 is a bit narrower but can’t just say that it wont suit Mudryk. He’s definitely someone who’s strengths are coming inside as opposed to being out wide the whole game. Could give us nice variation as he can go both ways but he’s not looked very effective outside hugging the touchline and keeping the width for us when we have played a back 4, its more when he gets inside and closer to in and around the box.

But even then hes still got a lot to prove. I think he was a buy that wasn’t necessarily needed.

Not necessarily. Chilwell likes to tuck in a lot in the buildup play so a "wide" winger could actually be the perfect compliment to him.

Yup he does seem to have the vision and the ability to act on it. On the other hand, his game is WAY too unpolished for this level, so that's what he needs to work on, and do it quick.

I'm also unsure if he's capable of helping with high press -- does not seem like he's good at that, at least not right now. That can be improved on, but it requires a certain competitive demeanor.
