Mykhaylo Mudryk

He was by far the worst player on the pitch against Fulham. Absolutely dreadful in every aspect of the game, and you know what? it's OK.

He's young and he's entitled to performances like these. It happens and he will learn form it, or not... in which case he won't make it.

Still way too early to tell and games like these, not mediocre, not average, but really poor, are typical of younger players.

Agreed - his performance was the worst (far worse than oft maligned Mount , in fact)

But while some of the blame is on him, I feel a big portion of the blame lay in the tactical setup. Its clear he isn't like Hazard who looks to hold on to the ball to try and create space for other players.

He's more of a player who favors quick pass and move football, and if the surrounding players are not complementing his play - then he's pretty much out of it. The other option would have been to make use of his blistering pace by freeing him up - again, nothing done by the team to release him in threatening positions. You had both Mount and Gallagher pushing far up the pitch taking up space that could have been used.

He has been sick for the whole week and yet played the best he could while beeing isolated by Fulham who overloaded his side to shut it down. Thats why he was subed in half time, Potter thought he could play 60 min but he only managed 45. 
 
Hope we play both Mudryk and Madueke next games so the opposition cant overload only one side. If they do that against Mudryk/Madueke or Mudryk/Sterling they will get slapped on the fingers again and again and again.

I knew that we would regret splashing so much money on this guy.   To spend that much on a player that is raw and hasn't played in a top european league just to say that we beat Arsenal to his signing is crazy. 

To think we could have had Enzo-Caicedo as our midfield moving forward for a similar transfer fee.

This is my nomination for the worst post of 2023 so far. You have already permanently binned Mudryk after less than 90 minutes total play, over half of which he played with a cold.

Breathtakingly premature. Embarrassingly so, one might say. I certainly do.

You're right but considering there is a very high chance of him joining our long list of flops, I'll take my chances.

You out of the gate slaters and whingers never, or almost never, offer up any alternatives. All you lot often do is shit on our players from the moment they set foot on the pitch.

You would be doing the same thing with Caicedo if we had dropped £100m (Brighton's demanded price) on him.

Mudryk was £62m in transfer fee, and up to £26m in potential add-ons.

That £62m is what CuCu cost, for a RESERVE LEFT BACK, yet the haters on here are already wetting the bed over a potential game changing winger.

Sad.

I so hope we end up paying the full £26m in add-ons, as that would mean Mudryk has hit big.

The things reading here 😞

Didnt know he was sick, but it was not great. What i do noticed is that he never ever in the game got the space that Ziyech got. 
 

So one bad half in a team that must come together as a team don’t concern me. When fit he need to start the next one.

[Fernando 6,585]

Yeah crazy to write him off. 

I still think the guy is good and will come good. 

Just that team chemistry is so bad at this moment and not to mention that mid besides Enzo is bad. 

Can't wait for other players that work in the mid to be back because we need that balance there.

He was not even THAT bad v Fulham, especially for being sick.

I sad so real time back then.

This rush by some to take a hot steamer on Mudryk after 80 minutes of total play is beyond daft IMHO, especially when it comes from our own fanbase.

I held my tongue with KK until it was very clear the bloke is well past it.

Hell, I even ended up at times defending Alonso here, lolol

[DDA 9,924]

Hes played approx 70 mins and people are writing him off!

 

Behave yourselves

Typical fan board dynamics - go apeshit when transferring some Football Manager darling in and cry we're not paying hundreds of millions up front, 90 minutes later go apeshit and demand the player being sent back and bash the board for the transfer, because fella hadn't suddenly got 3 times better on plane to London as isn't banging in a hat trick from the get go.

Always a fun read though.

Nice little jog back on their goal....didnt even try to help.

Coming from a bloke that believes a manager with 10+ injuries and like 7 new players coming into a team should have them running like clockwork instantly. Pot kettle black

In his peak in a 5 a the back system, Alonso was world class. I don't know if you can name a better LWB at that time. Or do you mean Alonso in his later years?
