2021/22 Vitalii Mykolenko

[MACCA75]

If you believe that story you’ll believe anything. Which actually makes a whole lot of sense.

Ferguson may or may not have told a stranger on the train that this lad isn’t even Championship standard - but he had 1 game to impress and didn’t put him in the squad.

Safe to say he didn’t fancy him.

I had concerns after the first game at Hull. I've seen nothing since to suggest he is a top flight footballer. I want to know who scouted him

I'd like to know who scouted a lot of them. The medical /fitness assessors of some of that lot likewise.

 

[ArtetaMoney]

I’m not having that he’s a footballer. His positioning is all over the place. I know we did it for political/media reasons, but even giving the armband the other week was a joke.

 

[MikeH72]

I am worried about him.

 

[toffee82]

Think him and Coleman offered little defensively or going forward.

Feel sorry for the kid with everything that is going on.

 

[BlueStevie35]

He told some bloke on a train that Myko was not even League One standard.

He was right.

I’ve got some magic beans to sell you if you’re believing that nonsense

 

[yakublue]

Looked so out of his depth every time they ran at him, which they did more and more before we took him off.

 

[Carlito]

Ferguson saying that about him on the train wouldn't even crack the top ten of ridiculous, unbelievable things that have happened at Everton.

 

[Simon Buttle]

He was right.

That would be highly unprofessional if it's even true, and given how much Dunc seems to be glued to the club ethos, I just don't see him showing that level of disrespect to EFC mate.

 

[Blue Parkender]

To be fair his ball into Richarlison early doors was probably the most finesse we've had in the side in months

Any rate he's better than Kenny so we'll have to see more of him

To be honest I feel for him because of what's going on in his homeland, but if anyone at the match today can say he is a good left back well you know nothing about football. He lost his man time and time again, we have been robbed of near £30m on two fullbacks who wouldn't get in my local Sunday League team.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

His starting position to challenge for the ball seems off to me, he's on his heels and never in place to win possession cleanly. Doesn't get close to opponents, presumably because he doesn't have the pace to live with them.

Modern full backs have to be able to do both aspects of attacking and defending well, can't really see that with Mykolenko. Can't believe a professional scout looked at him and thought he would be able to come in and do a job at this standard and pace of league.

 

[mahermi1]

Seems to get beat quite regularly on his inside, wonder who scouted him and thought we'll let Digne go ?

It's bizarre that someone has sat down and thought he'd be great to bring in mid season. Poor recruitment time and time again.

Exactly

 

[ToffeeTim]

Full backs need pace

But apparently Everton scouts know better
