Everton lost the 9-match win-win series in the APL, but traditionally created Liverpool. Mykolenko has a clear task on the derby – to restrain Salah. The Ukrainian is cool defending one in one against the star winger, but Mohammed is still celebrated in the goal of “Irishok”. Yesterday was not possible. The Egyptian remained completely invisible.

Mykolenko acted very tightly against his opponent. As soon as the salah gets the ball – Vitaliy is already on his leg. Liverpool’s leader tried several times to go to Drybling, but fits into our wall (0 successful attempts from 5). The IU has 80% of duels, 19 losses, one stroke and no key passage. In order to avoid obsessive care, Mykolenko, Salah began to get rid of the ball quickly. For the most part, these were gears, because he did not come up with something interesting time.

As a consequence, the statistical portals algorithms have launched the lowest rating on the field. Such matches are a catastrophe for Mohamed. After departure from the Champions League, it is possible to stay in the pool of contenders for a golden ball only if a enchanting game in each match by the end of the season.

Instead, Nikolenko’s assets 4 are selected, 8 removed, 2 selection, intercepting and blocking poppy allylist, who almost ended in a injury. Great work.

English media in one voice praise Vitaliy (6-7 estimates) for closing the Egyptian superstar and giving everything on the field. The fans join, here are the most locked posts:

At the same time, journalists and fans make claims that Mykolenko is working poorly. It is not very clear that at all he could offer a Ukrainian against Liverpool, when his team owned a ball 26% and the center of the field crossed. Vitaliy on instincts performed a series of shots into the penalty area, but did not find the addressees. Another prospective exit of the judge was stopped by offside.

By the end of April, Nikolenko is waiting for four serious checks: Saka with Arsenal, Elang with Nottingham Forest, Savignho (most likely) with Manchester City and one of the Wnger Chelsea.
