2025/26 Vitalii Mykolenko

[blueblue]

I thought he played well.

We had far bigger issues than him.

 

[maccavennie]

Yeah he was fine except for the lack of basic schoolboy pressing where he stood off their most dangerous player inside the box by about 3 yards

That whole passage of play was a mess.

I dont rate him btw, was just saying he was ok

 

[EGWToffee]

Thought he was decent tonight. The guy on the other flank was awful

 

[dannyboy]

No worries...the one on the other side is 10 times worst...at least did his job on bowen most of the game.

The problem is that his job at home against West Ham is probably more about attacking and he is dreadful at it. Along with O'Brien it's killing the team.

Yeah it was terrible like but he's being let off because of how bad oBrien was I think

Again...let's first get a rb...that should be the priority...myko is a decent lb, very good running towards our goal and defending against quick players...yes he could be better moving forward, but at least he is able to cross the ball...dont remember a cross from obrien this season...

Yeah Jake had a dreadful 2nd half, it got worse once Ndiaye pretty much ran out of steam after an hour so wasn't helping him.

I actually cut O'Brien more slack because he's a centre half playing out of position. Mykolenko is one of the worst full backs in the league. When we actually get a decent left back in it'll really highlight how poor he is.

 

[DOMNOLAN]

I miss Baines

 

[Huyton Layne]

Rank. Doesn't add anything to the team. Him shutting down a decent winger once in a blue moon isn't enough.

 

[jackyboy]

Just adds nothing

 

[Axlswhk]

Can’t blame him for being hesitant to bomb forward on a consistent basis. Grealish will not be able to track back if we lose possessions in the final third and opponent break forward quickly, we can’t afford an empty left flank.

With Gana and Garner sitting higher than usual during our attacking phase this season. It is impossible for our fullback to be too gung ho.

 

[jceverton]

I thought he played well.

We had far bigger issues than him.

He’s the worse left back in the last 40 years. Certainly when you factor the number of games he’s played. It’s genuinely embarrassing that he’s been our first choice left back for so long. We should’ve sold him in the summer.

 

[Charro]

This guy stinks.

 

[NeilMorepies]

Least of our problems tonight.
