Mykhailo Mudryk had an abject first half for Chelsea against Fulham, with some fans already willing to right of the Blues' €100 million arrival from Shakhtar Donetsk…
Mudryk arrived at Chelsea amid much fanfare, the "Ukrainian Neymar" ending up at Stamford Bridge instead of the Emirates after the Blues had outbid his long-time admirers Arsenal.
There were shoots of promise on his debut, too, Mudryk impressing with his direct running and attempted key passes after coming off the bench in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool.

Graham Potter handed Mudryk his first Premier League start against Chelsea's local rivals Fulham on Friday and he failed to build upon that first impression before being hooked for Noni Madueke at half-time.
Mudryk didn't win a single take-on, create a single chance or even take a single shot, and the Chelsea fans - and independent observers - took to Twitter to air their frustrations.

You was right @nonewthing Mudryk at best right now is a project player. Not 100m.

As good as mudryk is he may have to learn to play with a lot more efficiency. He just isnt gonna get much of the ball at this level and has to do the most with one or two touches

Mudryk was billed as the next best after he gave 53 year old Milner the run around 😂

Mudryk was drowning in Mount's runs. Same spaces. No tracking back. Stood still when we were countering. Madueke already looks better.
