Martin Keown did single out one Chelsea player for criticism despite an eye-catching win over Tottenham yesterday in the Premier League.
Chelsea beat London rivals Spurs 2-0 on Thursday night at Stamford Bridge, with the goals coming from Trevoh Chalobah and Nicolas Jackson.
The Blues have kept themselves in the hunt for the European positions as they try to salvage a frustrating season.
For Mauricio Pochettino, he watched his Chelsea side keep a rare clean sheet last night.
Martin Keown finds a Chelsea negative
TalkSPORT pundit Martin Keown, who was on co-commentary for Chelsea vs Spurs, did think Mykhailo Mudryk exposed his rawness in the victory.
The 23-year-old left-winger started again for the Blues, playing 75 minutes of action.
He was involved frequently with some exciting moves filled with pace, but the end product was missing from his game. In fairness, it’s a criticism he must be used to hearing this season.
Keown commented on Mudryk via talkSPORT (7:54pm, 2 May): “He’s like a Ferrari driver with a learner at the wheel. I don’t know how he got there, and I don’t think he does either. He needs to learn… the whole thing is lucky, he could’ve lost it on his first turn.”
Keown later added after a poor cross from Mudryk (8:41pm): “I don’t want to take the young man apart but that’s the difference. That bit of quality.”
Mykhailo Mudryk a challenging puzzle
Most Chelsea fans are left scratching their head after watching any Mudryk performance. His latest contribution versus Spurs was no different.
There’s flashes of brilliance from the speedster amid so much chaos.
We agree with Keown that there’s a lot in Mudryk’s game he must get better at, mainly his final pass or shot.
WhoScored data recorded Mudryk attempted four shots against Spurs. However, only one was actually on target.
