2024/25 Vitalii Mykolenko


I'm of the belief that both full backs need replacing by next summer at the latest.

I'm happy for Myko to play a part, but the game relies so heavily on full backs in the final third, which he offers little to nothing.
Neither does any full back for us since Dyche has joined.

Did okay today, first half was super shaky though. At least you can't say he shies away from the game, even if he's having a tough one.

It does under lots of managers. But not under Dyche. That’s not how he plays full backs.

People criticise Myko for not getting enough assists/goals but he did for his previous club. (Granted, it’s a weaker league, but our style of play doesn’t suit attacking from the fullbacks. (And we get less assists because our goal scoring is very poor from our forwards).

27 goals/assists in 132 games for Kiev.
Compared to 4 in 91 for us.
 
I think it's understandable that his form has dropped a bit this season for a few reasons. Unsettled backline and a lot of unfortunate injuries at the end of last season and again on international duty. When he's back to full fitness I think we will see some better performances like we did last season where he was a solid 7 nearly every game.

Tomorrow I think he could have a big influence on the game, maybe even get on the scoresheet.
