Mykhailo Mudryk endured yet another disastrous performance for Chelsea during the 5-0 thrashing against Arsenal.
The Blues were thumped by their London neighbours at the Emirates on Tuesday evening in a game in which no Chelsea players emerged with any credit.
However, much of the criticism has once again centred on €100 million flop Mudryk, who had another game to forget.

Mudryk at Chelsea
Mudryk joined Chelsea for €100 million in January 2023 from Shakhtar Donetsk after the Blues hijacked Arsenal's deal for the winger.
However, Mudryk has flopped badly at Stamford Bridge and, having fallen down the pecking order, was even linked with a January transfer away from Chelsea.
Since joining Chelsea, Mudryk has managed just six goals and four assists in 52 appearances amidst a string of poor performances.
Pochettino has publicly stated on numerous occasions that the player must improve in a number of areas, and his future past this summer is in question.
Chelsea are enduring yet another dreadful season. They are ninth in the Premier League, 19 points behind Aston Villa in fourth and with no chance of qualifying for the Champions League.
Last season, the Blues finished 12th in the Premier League.
Their only hope of a trophy this season is also over now after they lost their FA Cup semi final against Man City on Saturday.
