Yeh he was properly rubbish finding Doucoure with that ball to lay off to Simms at the end.

I felt Vitalii Mykolenko was used well by Dyche today and had a strong and productive ten-minute or so cameo.
Wasn’t a sub I was expecting, but it worked well.
Dyche sees things I don’t, that’s for sure.

Better than Godfrey at left back, especially against strong opposition.

Back in the team for me. Mainly because he's actually a left back and Godfrey is barely a footballer

Delightful ball for the goal, and there’s no way we concede that penalty with Mykolenko at left back, got to start for me
That ball for the goal was pure hit and hope as he was under pressure.
Myko over Godfrey all day long for me.

Just pros and cons against various different players. Mykolenko defends one v one in the box better than Godfrey and can find a better pass with his left foot. There was one ball across the pitch though to a Chelsea forward who has a yard start on Godfrey and Godfrey just ran him out of play when if it was Myko we’re probably in trouble.
I think both are pretty useful to be honest. I’d like to see us integrate Godfrey somewhere and get him playing regularly because pace can be key at the top level. In an ideal world it would be for him and Branthwaite to take over from Tarkowski Mina Keane in a few seasons as long term centreback pairing but Godfrey hasn’t done enough in that position to warrant it yet and we can’t try him there in a relegation run in.
Mykolenko is good enough for what we need. We don’t need our fullbacks playing like Alves and Jordi Alba. Look at City who have tightened up playing Ake and Walker two fullbacks who don’t try and cross the ball. Under Dyche it will be staying compact, blocking crosses, stopping shots, and using the ball sensibly. Mykolenko can be very good at all these things

Everything ok @Kev The Rat ?
Think he will benefit from time out of the team to be honest, the dude played a lot of football here and during the summer - thought he looked a little jaded from Xmas onward.
still be looking for a couple o full backs in the summer.
