Enzo now having his surgery, played through pain for the side and clearly not able to perform to his best but gutsy. I like that quality in a player. I now hope Poch pairs Conor and Moises together for the rest of the season.

You'd think it will have to be since no one else is fit! It would ne nice to see Golding or Dyer get some minutes but in likelihood we'll see Mudryk playing as a 10 in a desperate attempt to get something out of him.

G8, I agree, I like that determination in a player.

I also agree about Gallagher playing as a DM and I hope Poch now starts Chuka.

I'm with you Tom on playing Carney. Maybe experiment with Jackson on the left? I think Blueboy suggested trying Mudryk up top? I would play Big Trev and Silva at centre back for the rest of the season.

g8 and Tom agree with playing Carney.

For me this season is gone so from now to the end of the season wouldn't play anyone who is not going to be here next year, although as far as centre backs go this policy could go wrong we need Colwill fit long time out with a toe injury.

Agree with CG and Moises as DMs and yes really no alternative. Would also wonder how we can get more out of our attak, we don't have many options there that either haven't been tried already and not been v successful or because of our huge injury list. Are any on it due back any time soon? Will Lavia, for instance, be fit for any game time before the end of the season? or Nkunku? I've lost track - perhaps hope - of may recover in time!

Would Mudryk up front with Jackson in 4222 formation, with CP and CC just behind them be worth trying? Should Deivid Washington also be given some game time as a sub up front?

I may well end up being wrong and that is often the case but I just can’t see Mudryk starting any game for Chelsea in what remains of this season.

You may be right Tom. Such a pity he hasn;t (yet) become the player he would seem to have the talent to be. Possibly doesn't help such a lad that he has been playing in team with largely with other young and relatively EPL inexperienced players, so many changes through injury and rotation.

You can see he has raw talent, very quick feet, explosive pace and he plays well for Ukraine. I think one of the ED's mentioned it took him time to settle and he also looks like a player who lacks confidence. Being in and out the side doesn't help either but I agree, he isn't performing anywhere near the level expected.

I think it was Wenger who said “the difference between a good player and a great player is between the ears. ”

If I remember correctly it was reported the lad had some initial personal problems. I hope they have or are being resolved. Certainly the potential looks to be there but the lad isn’t firing for us yet but these things can change very quickly and I’m desperate for him to be the best he can be!

I would give Mudryk time it takes a season or so to settle and being Ukrainian can't be easy for the young lad.
