2024/25 Vitalii Mykolenko

[dannyboy]

Baines coaching is apparent. Myko did a lot of things out of his comfort zone today that were similar to what Baines did at his peak, but doesn’t have the required abilities to pull it off. Especially in the first half.
Straight sharp forward passing
Cut backs
Dribbling
Feigned crosses
All trademarks of Baines. Encouraging. Still need a better left back.

Thought he looked more assertive. He needs to be pushed by the coaches and he needs to push himself. No more hiding when Ndiaye is screaming out for support down that flank.
