Even going back to the first page of this thread - and people were saying he was playing well, steady defender, praising the guy. How an everton player can quickly become the worst player in the world!

In all honesty I don’t believe mykolenko is great, he has had some decent games in the past but I just don’t think he has the physicality for the prem.

I think it’s a wider issue here though - players just aren’t given the right environment to succeed here, multiple managers, playing multiple styles in pretty terrible teams, often playing in roles they aren’t suited to. Making a success of yourself at Everton is an impossible job unless you are really special ala Pickford or a special talent in richarlison.

I think there’s an element of that but a lot of it is just that we don’t have enough quality in the side and so everybody who isn’t very good, has their deficiencies exposed all the time because there’s no quality around to cover them. All clubs have players who struggle and/or aren’t really up to it but if there’s decent players around then the issues can be masked a bit more. Unfortunately for us we’ve continually signed poor players who lack even the most basic requirements to play at this level, and mykolenko appears to be one of them.
 

We could probably sell him for £2-3m in the summer. There's no way he goes for more than that, probably less in fact. Almost every left back I've seen in this league and the Championship is miles better than him, and no doubt most in the lower leagues too.
That would be a shocking loss of value on a young player in just 1.5 years given the 17M - 18M fee we paid and quite the indictment of our recruiting efforts. I hope we would be able to recoup more than you suggest, but then again, this is one example of why we are in such financial distress.

Classic case of being stuck with him. No one is going to be willing to pay what we'd want to make up for the fee we paid last January.

I hope he can improve but it's the attacking side of his game that is so poor and I doubt Dyche is the type of manager who will do much about that.

Yeah... There has been no evidence at all of improvement in his game all-round, never mind his attacking, which is non-existent. A refusal to overlap, inability to put in a decent cross... he's just poor and not worth even a third of what we paid.

Sadly he'll also be commanding the salary of an £18m player, and nobody anywhere will be happy to throw £50k a week and a five-year deal at him.
 


We see this time and time again. Absolutely crippling our attacking play. We already know Gray and McNeil aren't top draw players so the fact they get next to no support just amplifies our problems.

This is down to Dyche 100% there are 9 Palace players there and 6 of ours.
The defence obviously get told to stay outside our penalty area and that's it
