2023/24 Vitalii Mykolenko

[Frosty1878]

Awful player and knew his decent spell would soon fade he simply hasn’t got the ability to be a premier league player. Mykolenko and Godfrey as our full backs add to that McNeil and Harrison ahead of them wtf do we think we’re creating with that

 

[MACCA75]

We could have kept Digne and never bothered with this guy or Patterson. Thanks for that Rafael.

 

[LocalNative]

The most limited two full-backs in the the league him and Godfrey. At least Godfrey’s excuse is that he’s a CB.

 

[Zatara]

Wan Bissaka £50mil.

 

[Arteta2391]

looks scared when he goes 1v1 or rather clueless

when he does beat his man it's by his sheer speed and determination

 

[Charlie Sweet]

He was about £18 million and is way below average for a Premier league full back. Don’t think he’s got a single assist in his entire time here under 3 managers.

You're absolutely clueless if you think Myko is in any way one of our many problems to focus on

Patterson yes obviously was a disaster buy.

Modern full backs attack. He offers absolutely nothing. He’d have to be Maldini in defence to make up for his attacking deficiencies, and he really isn’t.
He’s a full back we should have paid about £6 million for as back up.

You've missed his sweet shots on goal then?

Honestly I'm not saying he's brilliant by any means but left back is definitely not our prime concern!

Speaking of Maldini like I'm reminded of the very fact that Gary Stevens was superior.

Good/Very good defender
Awful attacker

Well good thing for him is that our football is anything but modern so "defend first" full backs are way more valued.

 

[knowing your history]

Talk about him being solid defensively all you want but him and whoever is playing right back are crippling an already insipid attack.

Two years in people should know what Myko is and isn't going to give.

He's not going to give much at all going forward bar scrambling the odd goal in as he's done. However generally he's been fantastic defensively pretty much every game he's played (compared to what has been put out on the right) and him and Branthwaite on the left side has been a big plus of the season in the partnership they've formed.

In other eras having a LB with little attacking ability would be a serious issue but far bigger ones in key parts of the team that aren't good enough.

 

[Fenners]

Really poor yesterday. He's come on a lot defensively and isn't our biggest problem. But his attacking limitations mean he's never going to be a long term solution

It’s a collective of concerns and saying players like Mykolenko are ok shows how far we have slipped he’s not a premier league player hardly transitions defence into attack he adds to our problems

Good for him but not for us as we need to score more goals and he’s certainly not creating any.

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

He might as well not be there when we have the ball. I don’t know how much of that is him playing to Dyche instructions and how much to do with him.

I don’t think he is good enough going forward but equally Dyche’s tactics are severely restraining our fullbacks ambition when we’re on the ball and that’s really the biggest issue.
