“Absolutely Useless,”: Agbonlahor Tears Into Chelsea Star After Forest Defeat

• Chelsea are not having the best of start to a Premier League season after another defeat to Nottingham Forest
• Pochettino kept faith in the team that beat Luton Town 3-0 but the outcome turned out the same
• The manager turned to his bench in the second half, but the effect was no different

Former Premier League striker and pundit Gabby Agbonlahor has ripped into a Chelsea star after yet another defeat for the Blues at home to Nottingham Forest.

The Londoners are having a poor start to the league season under new boss Mauricio Pochettino and have picked up just four points in their opening four games.

It is already getting frustrating for the fans who saw a different approach to the team's tactics during pre-season and see an entirely different one from the season's first game.

As reported by ESPN UK, since the Todd Boehly-led consortium took over the club last year, they have spent over £ 1 billion on transfers, recruiting over 25 players. Still, the team looks far from a heavily invested team.

Agbonlahor slams Mudryk

In January, the Blues hijacked a £88.5m deal for Mykhailo Mudryk from Arsenal, who had courted the player for months, and it was seen as a show of ambition from the new owners, who also got Enzo Fernandez at all costs.

The player struggles to settle into life at Stamford Bridge and rarely gets the minutes to showcase his talents this season. His cameo against was poor by all standards, and he's rightly slammed for it by Agbonlahor.

"Mudryk came on, he nearly gave away two goals. Like honestly, he was absolutely useless. He’s had 19 games, zero goals," he told talkSPORT.

His only goal for the club so far came in a pre-season friendly against Brighton, and he provided two league assists last season, poor for a player who came in for such a fee.

Mudryk compares himself to Vinicius Jr

Sports Brief reported that Mudryk compared himself to Vinicius Jr after his struggles in the first months at Chelsea and amid fan criticism, especially from Arsenal fans, whom he flirted with before moving to Stamford Bridge.

Real Madrid star Vinicius had a difficult start to life when he joined the club from Brazil, but he has settled in and is one of the best players in the world in his position.
