2021/22 Vitalii Mykolenko

[Bluestar]

Shouldn’t judge him for a long time yet. His mind is not on football.

First game flagged up a few problems for me.
Absolutely no pace at all and has showed none since, certainly not a wingback as he can’t cross either.
Tackling is very suspect too. Wasted transfer

What was your take on Patrice Evra during his first season at United?

Honestly can’t remember, I know he was an excellent player, I suppose you’re telling me he was underwhelming in his first season?

He was dreadful on his debut vs City, Ferguson brought it up (i think in his autobiography). Didnt seem to know where he was, what he was supposed to do or what he was doing there.

Over the course of the season he adapted and gradually improved until he was at the top of his game.

Thats a chap who was already playing 'next door' in France and who had played in multicultural places like Monaco.

He really did start off as 'bad'.

Mykolenko hasnt been bad in comparison...hes been average. The time to judge him is going to be over the course of next season.

The pace thing worries me to be honest, if he had a left peg like digne I could see past the pace issue. Just a strange mid season transfer when we let our international left back go to a competitor

i guess he is saying that to judge a player who's played about 3 games, who is very young and who's family and friends are being bombed into non existence is probably jumping the gun somewhat.

although admittedly initial signs haven't been great. We could have done with a player who was ready to play same as patterson

Just saying what I’ve seen so far and believe me I wanted him to show some signs he’s going to be a great signing- but to me he’s lacking to many attributes

Especially for the money we spent, we should of gone for a ready made central defender or midfielder for the outlay on the 2 full backs

Not fit to lace Digne's boots.

Disagree 300%

I don’t believe in this, you need to be strong mentally as footballer. Look at Iraq when they won the Asian Cup, their country was decimated and they went in to play and win for their country.

Everyone reacts differently. I hope you're as strong when your home city is bombed.

Yeah not having it. Anyway he joined us before the special operation started and was very poor when he played.
