CHELSEA boss Mauricio Pochettino said Mykhailo Mudryk "needs to IMPROVE" and "isn't at his best" after bringing him off against Arsenal.<\/p>\n
The Ukrainian started on the left in the London derby and put the Blues 2-0 up after lobbing keeper David Raya.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
But he was replaced by Nicolas Jackson 20 minutes later and Pochettino insisted there is still room for improvement for Mudryk.<\/p>\n
The boss said: "I think he played well but he also needs to improve. For me, he is still not at his best.<\/p>\n
"I think we needed to make a change to add a little bit more pressure with Jackson in front.<\/p>\n
"In that situation, we created a few chances and the game was closer to 3-0 than 2-1." <\/p>\n
Both Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo only came back from international duty three days before Arsenal's trip.<\/p>\n And Pochettino joked how he could not afford to rest the duo amid fear of owner Todd Boehly's wrath.<\/p>\n Poch said: "It\u2019s crazy for players to come back from South America on Wednesday and play on Saturday. <\/p>\n "But if I say 'OK, I\u2019m going to give them a rest' you [the media] will kill me, for sure if they don\u2019t play \u2013 and the owner also.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n "Today Caceido and Enzo arrived after two games in America and they were not fresh. But they are important players for us.<\/p>\n "It\u2019s really tough to arrive like that. I hope now they can recover and train and in one week be at their best."<\/p>\n Chelsea threw away a two-goal lead with Arsenal fighting back to share the points at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n<\/picture>OH LO <\/span><\/p>\n
