Journalist Kyrylo Kryzhanivskyi expressed his opinion on whether Everton's new head coach Sean Dyche is counting on defender Vitaliy Mykolenko.
"Mykolenko had the coronavirus. Everton have 28 matches, Mykolenko has 25 matches in the first team. He missed the last matches due to the effects of the disease, Godfrey came on in his place, the team won, and the conservative coach decided not to change anything afterwards. I wouldn't say that he lost his place in the lineup, it was a situational change of the left back. We will be able to find out who the coach will trust after the international break, as nothing is 100% clear yet.
I think that Mykolenko will return to the first team if he is in good physical condition. It also depends on the team's results - after the defeats, Daich will look for other options.
Mykolenko is a one hundred percent first team player. He will play for this coach, because there are no other options. The thing is that Sean Dyche is a pretty conservative person, and if he and the player in this position do well, he will play for a very long time. And I believe that Mykolenko will definitely be the main player at least until the end of the season. And then we will see how the club will work in the transfer market. Whether this coach stays or another one comes, what will be the model of the game, because Lampard played both three center backs and two center backs. Dyche plays more in two. But until the end of the season, Mykolenko will definitely be the main player, because he does a lot of work, primarily running," Kryzhanovsky said.
