Amazed at the turnaround in Mykolenko and must say I agree with your points below about him being diabolical. He looked way beyond a “settling in” player and was a complete liability, to the point where the manager didn’t trust him early doors and crowbarred Ashley Young in there. He’s clearly been well coached (credit to the manager and to the player’s resilience) and has improved massively - I’m delightedly stunned by his complete transformation.
Doucoure is basically our most important player. A tremendous finisher and his energy/stamina levels are unreal. Was fundamental to our survival last season and is fundamental to everything we do well this season.
Said it before but I’ve been a critic of the manager and I am delighted that he’s showing me up hugely here, long may it continue.
