Really poor excuse for not replacing someone who stands out as being levels below the required standard needed in the Premier League.
It’s a vital area of the pitch. You can’t carry players who are so easy for opponents to target.
Buy a Mykolenko replacement and you don't buy a new RB, or pass on George or Hackney.
Should have just replaced him next summer and sent him packing. Decent clubs show their poor players the door. We reward them with bumper contracts because it’s the easier option.by renewing this fellas contract we’ve just resigned ourselves to not having a left back for the next 3 years.
For the goal, yeah. I think both Garner and Myk were just ball watching… waiting to see how Tarks wold be turned inside out by Evanilson.
In the 1st half, when Rayan was tearing down our left side and shooting from a tight angle. He was miles behind. I think it was only Jimmy G who tracked back.
He’s still poor with the ball but his movement and willingness to make runs both look massively improved. He's going to have plenty of space whenever Grealish is on the pitch, has to keep making the runs and working on his deliveries.
His long throws could actually be a threat too. More powerful and flatter than in previous seasons.

His long throws typify him, they just aren't that great, he's probably got the shortest long throw in the league. He's been much better this season though, so credit where credit is due
We need better but whether we’ll ever get it is another matter. Not his best game this season but so far he’s looked a lot better than most of last season
Another match where he was one of our better players, I still want to improve on him (especially since we'll want to play through Grealish a lot) but he's performing much better than last season.
Also - his long throws are now actually good and looked threatening as he's reaching the 6 yard box with them
His one v one defending is back to being at its best again. He'll never improve going the other way, but he is good at this side of the game when on form.
