2021/22 Vitalii Mykolenko

[Marius57]

I like him. He is adjusting with time which was expected. And that was expected without him having to deal with everything happening in Ukraine and the emotional trauma that would cause.

Finding his feet. And unlike the rest of the back line, I don't feel worried he is going to pass to their striker to play him through on goal.

I mean he’s already done that to be fair.

I like him and yeah with all that’s going on, he is nowhere close to a concern at the moment.

Effort & intensity. I’ll take it.

 

[Ashe364]

Definitely not premiership standard,so he fits in great with the rest of the team.

He seems to miskick less than the others which is brilliant. Or at least they don't create goalscoring opportunities

Same. I was impressed with him last night, kept Lennon pretty quiet and thought he grew into the game and stood up to the battle. Good signs for the future…

 

[barneygumble]

I feel for him to be honest.

Lumped with a huge fee, when in reality he’s a £5m player. He tries, but lacks any creativity and edge and trying to find pace in the Premier League in a struggling side can’t be easy.

Jury still out for me, but still don’t think he’ll have the quality long term.

 

[Lanolin]

Some of you definitely weren’t watching last night. Somebody literally dribbled past him in our own six yard box. Not just got half a yard on him to cross, actually dribbled from one side of him to the other. And there’s people saying he was solid. I feel like I’m in a parallel universe.

Goes without saying how depressing our season is and how dreadful the rest are where it’s impressive to keep a 34 year old Aaron Lennon (with 2 goals and 0 assists this season) quiet alongside the worst attack in Europe
20 million pounds and that’s what we have to show for it

 

[Billy Liar]

Starting to look like a steal. Should have had a glut of assists already.

Yes his back pass at Norwich.

 

[girders]

No where near good enough for this club

How is £17mil once clauses are achieved now £20mil?

More likely to be £13mil until clauses are achieved.

I think it’s cause he’s been quite poor, that when he has a better game it stands out.

Got done 4-5 times didn’t he? They walked past him.

Attacking wise, he has zero confidence in himself to put a decent ball in, was relying on others coming to him to take the ball.

I think he tries, I just think he lacks the quality, hopefully that changes, but just feel like we’ve landed a bit of a dud.

 

[Marius57]

I mean he’s already done that to be fair.

Early on. But watching him vs Burnley, if he was ever looking to be in danger he did the basics and got rid of it. Whereas kea e for example as evidenced in every game this season would take a few extra touches and delay and get caught out

Indeed. He is not remotely close to the top of the list of concerns we face right now.

Bedding in ok all things considered.
