On Saturday against Philadelphia, as he has done plenty of times this season, Chris Mueller took the pitch and created a spark.
His substitute appearance was one of just a few for the newly turned 22-year-old rookie, but Mueller’s addition instantly gave City a dynamic new look on the wing.
“I thought Chris, with his energy, he really impacted the game,” head coach James O’Connor said on Thursday before training. “Chris was very unlucky with some of his actions not to get a little bit more glory, and he has been since our time here. He’s had some opportunities where he’s been unlucky not to score in games.
