English fans who watched the match between Everton and Chelsea (0:1) could not find major flaws in the game of the Ukrainian Toffee legionnaire Vitaly Mykolenko.

Fans on social networks believe that Mykolenko, along with a couple of other Toffees players, looked decent in the match, did not fall into position and constantly played for the team.
There were also those who emphasized the stiffness in the tactical movements of the 23-year-old Ukrainian, which may be connected with Frank Lampard's decision to limit the player exclusively to the left wing:
"Mykolenko to captain Everton", — @steve77.
"Many positive moments. I can single out Tarkovsky, Patterson and Mykolenko. They played very well.” — @caskieboy16.
"That's how good Patterson and Iwobi were today. Mykolenko provided us with quality in attack," — @efcsam16.
"I cannot single out any one position for Mykolenko. He was pretty everywhere today.” — @Spooky_Timi.
"Good result despite the defeat. Better than expected considering we don't have a striker. Patterson and Mykolenko looked the liveliest in the team," — @BlueToffee3.
"I have to say that Mykolenko looked limited to one flank today, I hope the coach will deal with this and give him more freedom" - @JamesRy34202073.
"Patterson and Mykolenko are our pair of full-backs, whose positions I can't criticize," - @bradyates_.
"I want to see the Block of the Season award. The season has just started, and Mykolenko has already won it," — @sachingwen.
Also, the famous and authoritative Liverpool Echo newspaper evaluated the actions of the former "Dynamo" defender. The Ukrainian received an average six from LE author Adam Jones for the following comment:
"Mykolenko was not involved in the game as much as Patterson was on the opposite wing, but he did everything that was asked of him. Even more than that.
He was booked in the second half after switching to one of three centre-back positions. But overall, this change of position has been successful for him."
