2025/26 Vitalii Mykolenko

[siddharth]

Midtable is very kind with regards to his ability on the ball.

We are very myopic, he is a decent player who has ball control and can defend. He deserves his contract extension so we can do this again next season.

Genuinely just us I think. Another shocking signing

Been very dependable since we did sign him though. Not sure why he cops so much hate. He's very much not the problem

Because he constantly at fault for goals, offers basically nothing going foward actually most of the time just hinders any foward attacks. Hes crap.

 

[DOMNOLAN]

Take it one step further - at how many other teams in the league would he be a nailed on starter for 4 years?

138 appearances for Everton

This makes me feel ill… I hate this club

People like yourself will see how much Mykolenko was the problem when a good full back comes in. He does a better job stifling our own attacks than he does the opposition's.

Fine

difference between him and Diouf yesterday was night and day; one was dynamic and threatening in attack and the other was as pedestrian as ever!

Mate, my favourite recent player was Leighton Baines. I get the drop off from him and Digne to Myko. But, he's not the issue. We're in transition, Myko gets sold soon enough but I think we've other pressing areas to solve. Goalscoring being primary for me.

(People like myself ) - patronising cock

We will score a lot more goals when we have two full backs who can attack properly. Will make our play so much fluid to not have two players in those positions that don't really want the ball.

Two of Diouf's international teammates play for us. Surely yesterday made the gulf in class between him and Mykolenko obvious to all inside the ground. You'd hope left back is a priority position to fix and we are in for him if they go down. He'd be brilliant behind Ndiaye.

21 years old, 6 foot tall, rapid, athletic, strong. Cost them £19m.

Obviously we'll ponder for two months and watch Brighton get him instead.

 

[micknick]

Fine

Im with you mate. He shackled their best player for pretty much the whole game. Hes a decent defender.

 

[blueconverse]

Watch how long he takes to get a ball under control and make a simple pass. Twice as long as most players on the pitch

I didn't see much shackerling going on for the goal.

I think he is a huge priority to replace. And not just as a playing issue, although that is clearly part of it. As others have said, we will carry much more attacking threat when we don’t have a player who basically can’t contribute at all in that respect. He is a very very limited footballer.

But it’s as much a mentality thing for the club and the fan base for me. I think the fact he seems a nice lad, and nobody would question his attitude feeds into this almost sympathetic “he’s ok, he does a job” attitude that a lot of our fans have. And the danger is the club will have it as well. It’s an attitude that has grown and festered over the last 20 years. We simply will not rise to the occasion and start to challenge as a serious club again while players like this regularly start games for us. Nice lad etc etc (probably, never met him) but be brutal about it and improve. Same with the comfort blanket extension for Seamus. He was quality once upon a time but so was Peter Reid, and we haven’t got him on the playing staff anymore.

 

[aj79]

I should add I’m also in the camp who doesn’t think he is anywhere near as solid defensively as is made out! “But he always keeps Salah quiet!!!”………apart from all those times Salah has scored against us you mean??
