2024/25 Vitalii Mykolenko

[dannyboy]

He'll be 32 in the summer. Zero value.

Benitez clearly moved him on to bring in 2 younger full backs (which were needed). The issue is that neither have impacted our games in different ways under Dyche.




Was it a myth last season when many of us were saying he was fantastic defensively?

How about when he stopped the best wingers in the league, another myth?

Such a mass hysteria about him.

If his effort wasnt blocked yesterday he'd have broken the net and majy posters would be hand cranking over him.

Solid defensively in a well drilled unit is just your typical attribute for any full back that plays in a relegation threatened team, and he isn't even that this season.

Look at every game, especially yesterday's, and see how much our attack is crippled by the fact he can't contribute anything with the ball at his feet. He gives our left sided attacker no support so their game suffers. It's as bad as playing with ten men when we have the ball.

People can't moan about us being in relegation battles year in, year out and then in the next breath say Mykolenko is a decent option. Too many of our fans look at our players with bias. The majority are very poor by Premier League standard.
