Vitaliy Mykolenko

[Shogun]

(also Dwight )

Weird because I thought Dwight had a pretty rubbish game. Hasn't got up to speed yet since returning from injury

[eyesalwaysblue]

He's been very good last 2 games, surprisingly so.

[CraigS...]

Looks 10 times the player now than when he was under Lampard

[Silas]

Nice to see him getting into a good position for his goal. He's got a decent foot on him

[NickNack]

Glad he’s doing well, and think he needed to be cut some slack really - relatively young and inexperienced when he came to what was our basket case of a club at the time, new country, his homeland where his family are based thrust into a war, several managers, an absolutely shit defence that was shipping goals left right & centre - hardly surprising his form took a dive.

He’s no Leighton Baines and never will be but he’s decent defensively and if he can improve going forward he’ll be good enough for the foreseeable for me.

Left footed Tony Hibbert

The thing with Mykolenko is that he can actually deliver a decent cross, he just rarely gets into an advanced position to deliver one.

Whereas Hibbert would get forward a bit more, but his delivery was woeful.

He was also 10 x better at defideing than Myko ever will be

[Kerryblueboy]

Rubbish myko is a very good 1v1 defender amazing how people seem to forget how shit hibbert was

Hibbert was a great defender, just shit when he crossed the halfway line.

[superpull]

Yeah, Hibbert was a terrible, terrible full-back.

But an ounce of footballing knowledge told you he was a genuinely, really good right back.
Very, very few players got the better of him over a 90.

[Cozzie]

Definitely looked great as of late to be fair to him.

[bigmanbob]

I wonder how his offensive stats compare

[Gash]

Having a great season since he got back in the team.

[Shogun]

Class in the last few games. Even if he doesn't have quality, just getting in those sort of attacking positions is a massive positive.

[AjaxAndy]

Showing a different side to him, long may it continue!
