Mykolenko

[Bumble]

The argument that he was adequate defensively which mitigated his atrocious skills going forwards was always a stretch.

He’s not good enough for this level. Full stop. Let’s say it as it is.

[Bob Sacamano]

Can sense a catastrophe season from this lad and completely implode never to recover. Can just feel it in my waters. Brilliant that we signed him up on a new contract. Should have just shown this mope the door in 12 months time.

[AjaxAndy]

Yeah been shite ever since he joined, but seems to have regressed even further from being the desired level.

If we buy Munoz who's very attacking there's little to no chance of Aznou getting the nod though as we'll switch to a back 3 in possession which Myko can do more effectively than Aznou who wants to bomb forward.

Unless Ndaiye leaves for big money we'll all need to accept that it'll be Myko at LB for the season.

He's definitely progressed to the sites main boo boy, Im not saying I dont on whole agree but think some of the criticism is a bit OTT. That opinion is mainly about his defensive capabilities, people are making out he's horrendous, which I dont agree with. Going forward is a different kettle of fish

[Sir Stealth]

Not that Moyes is just gonna hang him out to dry in the press or anything but you’ve got to wonder what he sees in him. He’s been dreadful for quite some time now Myko

Wonder if there are plans this season to give Aznou a try

[Free Agent]

Sorry bob, but the amount of times he tripped over the ball yesterday says what a load of us have been saying for months - he’s not good enough and worryingly, seems to be getting worse.

[bigmanbob]

He tripped over it once in the penalty area, did you see that pitch???? ( I did get told off by my Mrs for swearing at him for that though, then they did a close up shot and the pitch looked like, well, a rugby pitch)

To be fair to the boo boys, their criticism isn't completely without merit. He has definitely seemed less confident defensively throughout the preseason. the fact that his best delivery yesterday was one that completely bypassed the box and went straight to the winger on the opposite side probably doesn't make people very forgiving.

[TheRam]

Can we just call a shit player a shit player without him being a “boo boy”

He’s terrible. Hes as bad at defending as he is going forward these days.

[Bluedylan1]

I've been quite alarmed by his defending in pre-season. I feel like I've seen him getting done in a variety of ways in pretty much every game.

Not expecting anything in an attacking capacity, because he doesn't even have the right technique to kick a football, but had assumed his defending would at least be reliable. It's been anything but.

I actually like the lad and did think his defending was at least decent - which it has been at times but that’s quite a while ago. But for whatever reason his defending has got far worse and his pre season performances have been terrible. Very surprised we offered him a new deal, even more so that it looks like he’ll be our first choice left back this season which he doesn’t deserve given his form. He needs taking out of the team for his own good - if only we had a suitable replacement and that’s on the club.

How can you not see how bad his defending is? Appalling.

Defending a defender who can't defend is indefensible.

[Escalator]

Apparently he’s on £80k a week for the next three years, how do you solve a problem like Mykolenko ? Unsalable, can’t be loaned out at those wages, does he for that reason remain our first choice LB for the next three years ?
