2024/25 Vitalii Mykolenko

[Marius57]

I should of said on average per season, if you say him improving means he goes over the halfway line now thats fine other than that he's crap, crossing awful, interplay awful on the ball in the final 3rd awful etc etc.

Across his career he has 11 goals and 23 assists at senior level.

Thats across 8 seasons.

So roughly 3 assists per seasons. The anomaly being the time under Dyche.

His contract ends in 2026. He would be able to sign a pre-contract with a foreign club in January.

Let’s hope so although we can’t afford to let players just leave and then scramble round for a replacement

Antonee Robinson for Fulham had registered 10 assists by February last season! In one season...

It shows how far we have fallen as a club that we end up making excuses for players who have such a poor output. I know as a full back, getting assists isn't the main concern if the player is great defensively but in the modern era it helps massively. And I don't personally believe he's a great defender either. He has some stand out games defensively but he also has some poor defensive performances too.

We need better in the next 18 months to 2 seasons. He is a competent squad player, and given the challenges we face in the transfer window and as we've brought in Aznou, I think he will be the starting LB this season. The rest of the defence will protect him in most games but going forward we will lose out having Mykolenko unable to contribute enough. It would be the difference between turning draws in to wins in some games.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

I mean, he got 2 last season.

He improved offensively after Moyes came in and we stopped playing 11 men in our half behind the ball.

Even if gets five assists this season his general play is still very poor and limits is in possession.

 

[Neiler]

Going to be interesting to see what impact real competition has on him.

 

[RichCee123]

I think he’s a good defender. I do recall he’s delivered some decent deliveries which have either been missed or no one was there.
Is there such thing as XA (like XG)?
Not saying he’s the best but equally would Robinson have got 10 assists in a Dyche/Benitez team in half a season?
Remember too, our left winger (who I like) got no assists in the PL last year.

I'm not mad on him at all, but I reckon he has a value of approaching 20 million, so we'd be mad to allow him to leave on a free.

 

[Saint Domingo]

He’s been playing well. Aznou will have to sharpen up a lot defensively to displace him.

 

[hktoffee]

Why didn’t he fancy #3, a proper lb number.

Yeah, and that’s playing under a better, more attacking manager.

Across his career he has 4 goals and 29 assists.

Robinson is older than Myko. He has had 2 good seasons (6 and then 10) in the prem at 27. So has massively improved the last couple of years.

Myko came to us at an awful time for him personally (war and carrying an injury) and then has played under Dyche since. It’s not about excuses, but acknowledging the situation.

I get there are some limitations in his game and improvements he can make, but if you are going to use Robinson, he wasn’t exactly setting the world alight until about 2 years ago when he was 25.

How bad did his injury look

Groin tear I think

Ignore joey as no idea on the severity but he walked off - deffo seemed to be his groin though - which is gonna be a minimum few weeks even if it's minor.

 

[TheBigMan]

Moyes might play Branthwaite left back v Leeds which means unfortunately keane with Tarks centrally.
