2025/26 Vitalii Mykolenko

[dannyboy]

Hes a good defensive LB but hes not good enough for anything other then a relegation battling side in the PL.

We need fast attacking fullbacks to do anything other then mid table mediocrity

I don't even rate him defensively. Look at tonight, he's completely on the back foot. Get through the game with as little involvement as possible. That's his goal. And who can blame him? He's not capable of anything more.

 

[BigBeto1]

Makes some absolutely brain dead runs when Grealish has the ball. Takes himself out the picture and allows them to double on Grealish

That lad sitting on the bench must be totally gash if he can't get a game over this fella

Tonight is one game. Ive seen him make salah out of games consistently.

I agree hes not good enough for where we want to be but hes obviously a good defensive fullback. Lets not let tonights game effect our critical thinking.

 

[davek]

Aznou has to get his chance.

We were battered down the left today. Right flank not too bad and held their own defensively.

I've seen him do well against wingers when we have 10 men behind the ball. He always struggles in every other circumstance. He's not even good enough in any scenario.

Please cross more, or take on your man. Heck do the McNeil thing and hit it off the defender's shins for a corner.

Just do something. Teams would rather crowd out Grealish and Ndiaye like our full backs don't exist.

 

[maccavennie]

Another poor performance from a really poor footballer.

 

[Walken]

Horrible to watch

 

[ChesterBlue]

Horrible to watch

He is, but in fairness we all know how limited he is and have done for nearly 5 years now. I don’t understand how on earth we went into this season with the same left and right back

Edit: actually with no right back

 

[Sheedy's right peg]

Blaming this guy really is missing the point. We're playing without a striker, zero for him to hit if he does overlap.

 

[Username.]

He really is a horrendous player, God knows how he's got this far. I would say half the championship have better left backs.

Having 2 dreadful full backs kills us though.

O'brien was done time and time again, offered nothing going forward. Was as bad as Myko imo, though I think I saw Grealish only pass to Myko once in the final third- they have no link up play.

But him being some sort of option allows Grealish to have a bit of space and the whole pitch opens up. He's the worst player we've had that starts consistently for a long time.
