2025/26 Vitalii Mykolenko

[Cels]

I thought Vitalii Mykolenko did okay again this evening.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Back in the side, 6 points out of 6.

He is what he is. Excellent at some things, terrified of trying other things. If Moyes told him to bomb forward and he keeps refusing, we’d have seen Branthwaite at LB and Keane in the middle. I think managers are much more comfortable with players like him than fans are.

Coming to the end of his time here it seems. Was possibly the right player for the last few years, part of a defensive group that kept us up. This season he should have been 2nd choice LB as we move forward. Leave the lad alone.

Thought he did what he needed to do today - defended well and left the football to those who can play. Very alert to hack the ball clear after Pickford's late save too.

 

[The T-Dex]

Read the game superbly today.

He looks like he's had a growth spurt- looks 3 inches taller. (Might be the short sleeve shirt)

Was he on a card in that game? If not he should have dragged that kid down before he crossed the halfway line to score the 2nd.

And take a red card? Weird take, even for you.

Ilm asking if he was on a yellow...if not then he did right not to bring him down. If he wasn't that doesn't;t get a red card if you bring that lad down.

DOGSO, red card.

Denial of Goal Scoring Opportunity

From 10 yards before the halfway line and with KDH covering?!

Pfffft!

 

[Drico]

"We need a back-up in case Aznou gets injured. Give him a new deal."

One month later...

"Just as well we gave Mykolenko that deal now Aznou was crocked in training during that warm weather camp..."

Rinse and repeat at make-do-and-mend Everton.

 

[preposterousvelios]

Myko losing a 50/50 to a kid thats just turned 16, leading to us conceding a last minute goal should genuinely put it into perspective how ridiculously Aznou has been treated by Moyes.

Be a different story if we had a capable player ahead of him at left back but Myko is properly useless.
