2023/24 Vitalii Mykolenko


It does help that he's got McNeil tracking back all the time, so he's not often exposed 1 on 1 (like Trippier was tonight against Son, ouch!). But nevertheless, he looks very good defensively. Playing with confidence too

Thats true, but even when he is left 1 v 1, he now defends those situations confidently.
 
He has been on a weight training program? He looks a bit more toned, stronger lately. His positional sense is improving too. Good on the lad 👍
I think he must have been, he used to put himself between the opponent and the ball and win the foul whereas now he'll often hold the opponent off, keep possession and find an opponent or clear to safety.
