2025/26 Vitalii Mykolenko

His distribution is either a hospital pass or a clearance. Would add more nerves than Keane.

Yeah fair point. Just sick of seeing him at LB

I agree , hes just as big an issue as the RB for me . Can't pass , ball is a hot potatoe , no overlaps and cant cross anyway. Both sides but this guy is supposed to be a fullback.

Apparently gave the ball away 18 times yesterday… holy moly.

I’m not watching that game again. Fill your boots mate

Found some stats just for you… Jake O’Brien lost possession 16 times. It’s worth remembering that he isnt a fullback but is a fairly decent CB though.
Let’s not bother strengthening the full back positions

He can kind of cross. Problem is he will just whack it in there even when there is nobody in the box (most of the time with us).

It's like he gets that he has to put a cross in but doesn't really understand why.

It's so obvious Grealish only gives him the ball as a last resort. Mad we've still got fans who think Mykolenko isn't a huge problem in this team.

Sadly another who's very limited.

Horrid stat and an obvious weak point but as a side note I would really like to know how that's counted - he's put in 4 bad crosses and lost out 2 tackles, big pass% success rate, lost the ball 20 times though. Interesting.

Like all the best U11 wingers

 

[Toffeepot]

Yeah, he’s crusty undercrackers. A negative robot who cannot change, he’s had Ashley Cole and Leighton Baines helping him since he first signed as well.

It’s really quite something to stand out like a crowning turd in a sea of feaces

This has got to be the biggest red flag

If we offer him a new contract i give up.
Can't stand another season of him Tarks and Keane in defence

Good timing this...contract option has been taken up.

Now 2027 so 18months on his deal rather than this summer

he made one overlap and put a reasonable cross in. That was refreshing.

The crosses are usually to their first man dont recall an assist once.

I’ve no idea mate, I’m sure there will be other stats sites which don’t give the same numbers, it’s just something I read today. He kicked the ball straight out of play at least 3 times as well if I’m remembering correctly. His pass success rate is obviously padded out by going backwards/easy nearly every chance he gets.

He’s one of those players that your eyes tell you all you really need to know but then you see some horrible stats and you realise he was actually worse than you originally thought!
