2021/22 Vitalii Mykolenko

[phil_t98]

lad is just solid at the back. he nullified them for most of the game on the left

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

Superb today if only he'd tucked that chance away

I had a fiver on him at 45/1 last goal envisioning him scoring last minute before the whole crowd chanted Everton and then Ukraine.

Made up he's playing well and enjoying his footy though.

Absolutely one of my favourite players, great attitude.

 

[No Alla Violenza]

A new hero is emerging

 

[BlueToff]

Fantastic again today but bloody hell lad, shooting practice!

Great to see

A bit of a rant of sorts:


1: Ancelotti was interested, Brands scouted him and Benitez signed him.

2: He's been the left back regular for both Ukraine and Kiev for the past 4 seasons.

3: He has 21 caps and played 32 games in Europe by the age of 22.

4: He was rated in the top layer of highest potential u21 players for 3 years between the ages of 18-21.

5: He's been in/out of the team since joining and played in an unsettled team devoid of confidence. So far he's had Gray/Gordon/Richarlison ahead of him and Godfrey, Keane/Holgate next to him.

6: He did not cost £20mil / £21mil or whatever other fictitious fee mentioned. The fee was 'undisclosed' and strongly rumoured to be £17mil or £18mil including clauses. In the same way Pattersons fee was £16mil including clauses with the initial fee at £11mil...we can guess the initial fee for Mykolenko would likely be between £12-14mil.

7: He hasnt been dreadful or anything as bad as hes being made out to be. He's been average, probably 5 or 6 out of 10 every match.

8: He was signed a month into his 2 month winter break, moved to a new country and league and then seen Benitez, Ferguson and Lampard as managers. Not to mention his illness and the war in Ukraine.


I think he's a good player and opinions will change on him next season.

I will stay adamant on the fact he was awful for the first 2 months.

But I'm all in now. Absolute engine.

See my post above mate...

Fast becoming my favourite player. Grafter.

He called himself a 'soldier' on the pitch before.

As a lazy eastern european example, reminds me of Vidic in terms of his mentality. Just does not let players past him at all cost.

He just top class and i love defenders like him

If he was Italian he'd be very highly rated....the secret will be out next season.

makes you wonder why waited so long and plod along with Kenny as LB in feb. But, the future with him looks great.

I'm trying to admit I'm wrong here.

You know how hard this is?

Don't push it you

Lets hope he keeps it up

If he keeps up this level till the end of the season...imagine what he becomes with Cole and Baines coaching him

 

[ChoccieStarfish]

Great game for him. If he could shoot, he might have pipped Jordan for MOTM

Him, along wityh all of us, was probably shocked as how far chelsea let him go to mendy.

 

[tom_b1807]

They were constantly trying to overload that right side but you would never have known it because this guy was absolutely immense once again

 

[Zatara]

Reece James will be hoping Ukraine dont get into the world cup lol

 

[ToffeeTim]

Getting better week on week.

 

[jonnyboy316]

This kid is not that bad after all. Delighted for him

Brilliant January signing, a window we sometimes get wrong, today he was great again.
