2021/22 Vitalii Mykolenko

[street end]

Thought he was really good today

 

[Parker]

Not many will have noticed but he also helped us score our goal today by running past richarlison and dragging a man Utd player away to give richarlison the space to find Iwobi

And the rest is history

100%.

Made the space For Richarlison to run into.

Best I've seen him today.

 

[Eggs]

….I don’t particularly rate him, but I particularly like him. Don’t know why but it would be difficult not to like him.

He has to play, he’s a conventional LB and he’s the only left footer outfield player. Balance looks so much better with a left footer. It’s not rocket science.

 

[EGWToffee]

Was class. Just defend for now lad just defend. UTFT

 

[Sheedy's right peg]

He’s not good enough long term zat

Backs against the wall performances like today are the exception not the rule.

He’s one of the main reasons we are in trouble

Blimey, beginning to think you must have had one of your super yachts siezed as there's no logic to this.

We've just won one of the most important games in our recent history and this lad has played his part in keeping a clean sheet against one of the most expensive forward lines in Europe.

I'm bouncing off the walls and you are like this. Can't work it out.

 

[Sheedy's right peg]

I'd love to see it again but there was a lovely moment in the second half when he danced around a United defender by the corner flag before almost finding DCL in the box for the second. I thought DCL could have done more to find space.

Really cannot see how anyone could criticise him today.

 

[ProZ]

Our man Rafael is at it again with another gem, this boy and our two top scorers on a shoe string.

Sure someone else has mentioned it, but something to be said for Mykolenko undertaking such a massive career move at the same time as his country's been thrust into a brutal occupation?

Given some time to adapt he's been much improved.

Not heard that one yet mate- stunning observation tbf - how could we have missed it.

 

[jinkyali]

Superb.

 

[roy vernon]

If not for Delph he would be my MoTM today. Hopefully he’s settling in and getting the confidence to feel like he belongs.

If not for hm, Delph may have been my MOTM today. I went with Myklalenko, I thought he gave a classic left back performance. 9 of the other 10 were excellent as well.

Didn't he come here before it started?

 

[Toff33Blues99]

Much improved performance from a defensive point of view

 

[parallelcircles]

Didn't he come here before it started?

He did, joined in January and the conflict escalated in February.

If that can be considered still part of the acclimation phase I think seeing all that happening back home for him must have been unsettling.

Bit more time has helped all the pieces come in place imo.

 

[Rugby Toffee]

Had a much better game today, starting to settle in
