2024/25 Vitalii Mykolenko

[dannyboy]

Still plays as he did on his debut for us, terrified to get the ball and can't wait to get rid of it most of the time by hoofing upfield. A nothing player

Just saw a Villa full back get the ball in a tight situation. He twisted and turned and next thing is they were on the edge of Arsenal's 18 yard box.

Mykolenko would've punted it out for a throw in and the pressure would've been back on us.

Another super average signing. I dont rate him. Dixon im not sure would need to see him after a few games.

Just about the best of a bad bunch today, simply because he defended his side of the pitch about as well as expected.

….if that was him who squared it for Beto’s goal, I assume he now has his first Everton assist.

It was a perfectly angled and timed run which he started from pretty deep as well.

He so rarely gets the opportunity to overlap and cut inside a full back like that. You hardly ever see McNeil combine with a full back like that as well, which is why it was an especially rare thing to see

Individually though, they are both capable of doing stuff like that, so it's a real headstratcher as to why they don't attempt it more..

Capable of doing stuff like that against a League 2 side.

Capable of doing stuff like that against a League 2 side.

Capable of doing it full stop.

Doesn't matter who you play against mate - it's a phase of play that they should be working on more regardless.

I think, because it took a clip off the defender before it reached Beto, it doesn't get counted as an assist. I'm not 100% sure tho.

Semenyo will be a big test on Saturday but Myko usually does his best work in these situations

I wasn't sure if it taking another touch counted. Glad to be wrong as Myko is one of my favourite current players.

This lad's a slow-burner. Needs confidence from a run of games like all our squad.

This is the reality of Everton right now, we're just not all that good on paper.

But given a run, Dyche then improves them organisationally, physically, and then the odd result comes and the belief and confidence edge up. This is very true of Myko. CHrist knows where his mind must be when he's not playing and training, as well.

People might also forget he ended the season injured and then got injured again for Ukraine.

Yeah, which is why he scored 2 goals early last season before getting some football knowledge beaten into him that full backs should stay back.

No doubt getting told off he was so far down the pitch yesterday as well, could've cost a goal through his area that! Dangerous play!
