Mykhailo Mudryk labelled 'Ukrainian Adama Traore' as £88m Chelsea flop useless vs England
Ukraine forward Mykhailo Mudryk took a lot of flack on social media during his side's 1-1 draw with England on Saturday after the Chelsea man put in yet another dire performance
Fans are ripping into Mykhailo Mudryk after the Chelsea flop produced an absolute stinker against England on Saturday.
Ukraine sealed a hard-earned point to stay within touching distance of the Three Lions in their Euro 2024 qualification group, but Mudryk had very little joy - huffing and puffing up and down the touchline and struggling to make any inroads up against a rampant Kyle Walker.
Supporters on social media pounced on the 22-year-old, who is yet to score for Chelsea in 20 appearances, during and after the game, with some even branding him "the Ukrainian Adama Traore".
"Just a reminder that Chelsea paid €70m + add ons for Mudryk. The man has zero output. He's the Ukrainian Adama Traore," one fan wrote.

Another said: "Mudryk is not real ffs. He's so bad haha," while another laughed: "Literally so happy Arsenal steered clear of Mudryk. He's the worst player on the pitch by a mile."
A fourth added: "Kind of feel for Mudryk as every performance he puts in is under the microscope, but he's a long long way from being the £80m player Chelsea paid for."

Oleksandr Zinchenko opened the scoring for Ukraine on 26 minutes after latching onto a cut-back and tucking the ball underneath Jordan Pickford, but England were level before half time after Walker smashed home from close-range after being played through by a sumptuous Harry Kane pass.
Chelsea hijacked Arsenal's move for Mudryk back in January, and although he made a reasonable first impression on his debut, coming on as second-half substitute against Liverpool, the speedster has looked an absolute shell of the man who put in a man of the match performance against Real Madrid a few months prior ever since.
Chelsea's woeful form in 2023 hasn't helped, but the fact that he hasn't started a single game under Mauricio Pochettino speaks volumes and he clearly has a lot of work to do before he'll be able to silence his critics.
