2025/26 Vitalii Mykolenko

We need to sign a left back for the sole purpose of ensuring that Moyes doesn't stick Branthwaite out there for the whole second half of the season.

Moyes will continue with myko as long as he is fit, even with jarrad is back.

I know he will but it's killing us. Genuinely how bad could Aznou be

Not particularly a Moyes fan but trust his judgement on a player. If he was ready he’d be playing.

He is to be fair about as conservative as any top flight manager can possibly be about trusting young or inexperienced players. It's a spectrum. Can almost guarantee someone like e.g. Iraola would have given significant minutes to Dibling and Aznou this season.

I'm not saying it's *wrong* per se because maybe what Moyes wants his players to do demands that. But it's probably as much the manager as it is the player.

I trust that Moyes knows a player but he's not managing the youth we have atm well for me.

 

[Walken]

If we only make one signing in Jan it should be left back. Has clearly been a priority position to replace for years.

I didn't really think the sunday league theory of he's left footed so he gets a game existed at prem level, but I can't think of any other reason for him being here

When KDH and Grealish are fit and firing ahead of him, it covers some of his on the ball inadequacy. Kids through elite club side academies learn ball skills, passing, position, and combination attack/defence much much earlier. Kids that went through the gymnasium on the rings, floor and parallel bars are great if they cut it at the Olympics. Stick a gymnast on the football pitch and they stand out a mile. Decent athlete, ok surviving on his wits in defence. But if we make top 10 this year in the league, he will be by far the weakest LB in that group. If Fulham are in transition and we could manage a fee, old boy Antonee Robinson would give us a few season with LB covered. Who was it that flogged him?

I wanna say FSW or moshiri

Its just everton all over to let a kid go for pennies then buy him back for millions

He’s had Ashley Cole and Leighton Baines coaching him as well.

It’s him or a paddling racket

Like having van gogh and rembrant teaching Helen Keller how to paint

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Sorry but he isn't, the stats don't even say he is. He's average defensively and woeful in attack. How he's still first choice after 4 years is beyond me.

I don’t know about stats, I’m not even sure what stats could say this, but we’ve seen him do great defensive jobs on top wingers like Saka and Salah before

Of course he’s not good enough but I don’t agree he’s not been good defensively whilst we’ve been fighting relegation

Thanks Rafael you fat slug.
