2021/22 Vitalii Mykolenko

[Lanolin]

Correct.

Being a regular in international football, champions and Europa league...

...none of our players have hit those standards aside from Dele 3 years ago.

I don't go in for the whole 'farmer's league' thing but it's just different isn't it. Not saying worse, not saying better, but playing in the PL is very different to all the things you've mentioned there and being able to perform in one is no indicator of your ability to do so in another. Cenk Tosun's record at international level and in Europe is pretty decent but he just never looked like a PL player. It's too early to tell with Mykolenko but that works both ways.

 

[Thomasc]

So far, he offers balance.

That’s it.

He’s the Ukrainian Ian Wilson

 

[Zeitgeist]

Still don't get the hate. Thought he showed promise v West Ham, a very good side.

He's 22 ffs. Was he the ideal left back? No we needed someone ready to rock.

But he's here now and he isn't half as bad as what people are making out. Will keep getting better the more he plays

 

[maccavennie]

He's going to blammo an absolute worldie tonight

Reliable source?

Off to the bookies.

A statement by maccavennie is as good as printing money 68% of the time mate.

If Coleman is fit then I wouldn't start Myko tbh.

I know it takes away that 'threat' from the left but we aren't going to cross our way through Burnley anyway, and Godfrey is a better defender at LB and means we can get three tallish players in the backline.

If Coleman isn't fit then play Godfrey or Holgate at RB and Myko LB.

If only we'd had one of those in the squad

People had been moaning about Digne for a while.

Also, Digne would have known Benitez was close to the sack. The results were awful. He jumped ship in my eyes.

Think he did ok the orher day still think as soon as his english gets better will help him more was too deep for the 2nd but apart from that made some good runs

Nice, £2 free bet on it at 40/1. He wasn't an option for scoring outside the box unfortunately.

I doubt that. We'd been getting pummelled long before he was given the boot and he wasn't even close.

No he is using the level of the Ukrainian league as a yardstick with which to measure him on a regular basis, other than the extremely occasional foray into the higher regions of European competition.

And even in our tragic state, all of our players let alone every other premier league team, and probably all the Championship ones as well, are miles above that Ukrainian farmers league level.
