2021/22 Vitalii Mykolenko

[COYBL25]

Yeah he looks to have a bit about him but I thought he played on the right side of the edge and was in control.

It was a baptism of fire tbh.

First game away from home in the cup, playing a team you’ve probably never heard of, in front of three thousand plus, unsettled away fans, with team mates you only met a few days ago.

The lad did okay.

I don’t think he was fully fit. He got forward quite a bit in the first half, remember him overlapping and being further forward a couple of times in the first half once we remembered how to play and remember him sending over a nice whipped cross to the back of the six yard box.
Ridiculous to judge him after one week in the country let alone only just meeting his team mates and starting to learn the way Benitez wants to play

Fair comment. Not being funny but does he speak English? If not it is another hurdle for him

I liked that he improved as the game went on and didn't dwell on the poor start. Can very easily allow things to spiral when the team start so slowly. But very early days.

let’s not kill the lad after one game

We probably won’t know just how good/bad he is until next season. He’s still only 22 and it could take time for him to settle to PL football and life over here. Does he speak much English? Only one game, give him time.

I agree we won’t know how good he is for 12 months but frankly that’s not the sort of player we should be buying given our immediate position

 

[Encoder]

I loved Digne, but he was so utterly slow that I am surprised this is a stick being used to beat the new lad with.

 

[Nymzee]

Managed all second half and extra time on a booking which is good. Could have easily got himself sent off with first game nerves.

Thought for his 1st game and not match fit he did ok.

I’m afraid we have to slate him mate.

He didn’t score a hat trick on his debut so he must be booed forever.

Anyone using a 22 year old man, on the first week of his new job in a new country to have a go at the manager is a tool. Judge VM after 20 games and without managerial prejudice. We are, or should be, better than this.

No mate you misunderstand internet Evertonian etiquette.

He didn’t pull up trees on his debut so we all must tweet him and his family direct abuse.

Nothing like that to motivate a man.

 

[Librarian]

He did well you idiots

Would have been class if he scored that chance he ballooned!

Based on his first interview, he doesn't.

I think he did well today. I like him.
