Why Pochettino needs to play this troubled Chelsea player

Football pundit Danny Murphy has sent a message to Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino on the need to give troubled Chelsea star Mykhailo Mudryk more game time.

Pochettino since his take over this season has been making use of a line-up and formation he seems to trust and wants to perfect.

But the line-up has received criticism from the Blues fanbase as well as football pundits.

Pochettino is using a 4-2-3-1 formation, while playing Levi Colwill, who is naturally a centre back, as a left back, and Ben Chilwell, who is a left back, as a left winger.

However, Murphy believes now is the time for the manager to hand Mudryk a chance.

“When you look at Mudryk, they spent big money on him… His first game at Anfield you saw what he can do,” Murphy told FIVE’s YouTube channel.

“Now, they need a left-winger to play instead of where Chilly (Chilwell) is playing because he’s a left-back.

“Give him five or six games! See.”
