“Isn’t a footballer”, “Should never step into the pitch again till season ends” plays like a 2nd Division player-Todd Boehly has instructed Pochettino never to Start Chelsea FLOP again

Chelsea supporters criticized attacker Mykhailo Mudryk’s performance in his team’s 2-2 draw with Aston Villa on Saturday (April 27). Despite a few bad individual performances, the Blues showed wonderful spirit in coming back from a two-goal deficit to earn a draw.

Mauricio Pochettino’s youthful team was thrashed 5-0 by Arsenal on April 23 and then played another high-flying side shortly after. As has been the case in most games this season, they were without a number of key players for the encounter at Villa Park.

Despite his lack of success against Arsenal, Pochettino chose to start Mudryk for the second time in a row. The Ukrainian international once again played on the periphery, unable to have an influence on the game.

Mudryk only lasted 89 minutes owing to the Blues’ lack of attacking alternatives on the bench, with academy standout Tyrique George being the only comparable substitution. He made two out of five successful dribbles and won three of his eight ground duels.

Mudryk was finally replaced by midfielder Cesare Casadei, as Pochettino sought a late winner for his team.

Chelsea supporters were mostly displeased with the 23-year-old’s performance, and they expressed their displeasure via X.

Mudryk faced widespread condemnation from fans.

“Mudryk is a lousy footballer who won’t grow into a world-class player.” “How much did Mudryk cost again?” “Dreadful footballer.”
“Mudryk is arguably the least intellectual football player I’ve ever seen.”
Chelsea managed to draw at Villa Park and came close to winning the game, but a VAR intervention denied them a late goal.

Chelsea dent Aston Villa’s top-four chances with a remarkable comeback.
Chelsea’s 2-2 draw at Villa Park hindered Aston Villa’s chances of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. The win puts Unai Emery’s team seven points ahead of fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who have played three less games.

When Marc Cucurella deflected the ball into his own goal in the fourth minute, the Blues appeared to be heading for their first home and away league defeats to Villa since 1990. They scored an equalizer through Nicolas Jackson, but the VAR rejected them before the Senegalese hit the upright.

Villa extended their lead against the run of play at the conclusion of the first half, putting their opponents in danger. Chelsea reacted brilliantly in the second half, with goals from Noni Madueke (62′) and Conor Gallagher (81′), and Axel Disasi should have won if not for VAR.

The Blues remain in ninth position in the Premier League, seven points behind sixth-place Manchester United.
