Pochettino hits out at Chelsea flop
Mauricio Pochettino has criticised the performances of Chelsea flop Mykhailo Mudryk and says that the Ukrainian “needs to improve”.
Pochettino hit out at Mudryk, despite the winger continuing his improved run of form as he scored for Chelsea in their 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Saturday.
After a disastrous start to his Chelsea career, Mudryk has now scored two goals in his last three games but Pochettino is far from impressed.

What did Pochettino say?
"Mudryk is not at his best. He needs to improve,” Pochettino said.
"He really needed his first goal at Stamford Bridge. He still needs to improve but with this goal, I think he is going to be more confident in the future.”
Mudryk form at Chelsea
The wideman joined Chelsea for €100 million in January after the Blues hijacked Arsenal's deal for the Ukrainian winger.
However, Mudryk has flopped badly at Stamford Bridge.
He has managed just two goals and two assists in 25 appearances amidst a string of poor performances.
Mudryk’s poor form resulted in him dropping down the attacking pecking order.
However, he finally scored his first goal for Chelsea earlier this month in the 2-0 win at Fulham earlier this month and followed that up with another in the 2-2 draw with Arsenal.
