2023/24 Vitalii Mykolenko

[Rugby Toffee]

Most improved player this season

 

[Nymzee]

I'm making a goalscoring comparison between one of the most offensive full backs in the league - and ours.

You said he isn't good offensively - noted his goalscoring abilities, yet they're better than one of the best attacking fullbacks the Premier League has seen in the last decade.

Kyle Walker just isn't known as a really offensive full-back though is he? Even Pep talks about him as the defensive option.

But okay Mykolenko is as good as Walker then, if not better, since he has a better GPG record. Cracking.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

But he isn't good offensively. Let's not rewrite history after 2 goals. He's got 3 in 64 games.

Absolutely no one rewriting history.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

The actual defensive side of his game goes under the radar a bit I feel. One of the top rated left backs in the league this season for defensive contribution, which'll do for me all day..

 

[Baines' left foot]

*spits in general direction of Ukraine

[some time later…]

To be fair he’s been alright lately. Eating me humble pie me I am

 

[God Benfrey]

Really been impressed with his defending recently and general decision making, long may it continue

 

[maccavennie]

But he isn't good offensively. Let's not rewrite history after 2 goals. He's got 3 in 64 games.

More than Maupay, Beto and Chermiti combined

I know I know, they've only had a few games

 

[Zatara]

the little trifecta of:

Onana
Mykolenko Branthwaite

on the left hand side is really, really promising!

If only Patterson could be brought in:

Garner
Tarkowski Patterson

Isnt bad on paper either

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

He's definitely bigger and stronger this season. Couple of those Forest wingers didn't look too happy to be bouncing off him.

 

[Mrbluenose]

Glad to see him doing well.

He's good enough for where the club is right now.

Let's hope he continues to improve.

@davek just felt a ripple in the force

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

He definitely looks more assured on and off the ball. I was starting to doubt him but he looks more imposing comfortable with the ball this season.

 

[Nymzee]

Defensively he’s top drawer. Crosses getting better too. The bulking looks to have helped.

 

[Rita_Poon]

better on instinct than orders.

 

[sladen90]

Another really good defensive display. And he's getting better going forward. He's improved immensely this season.
