West Ham To Feast on Everton’s Misfortune? Sean Dyche Proactive by Dropping Everton’s ‘Weak Link’ as West Ham WOULD Make Use of His Weakness to PUNISH Everton if He Starts because…..

Dyche Must Drop Mykolenko to Save Everton’s Season

Everton manager Sean Dyche faces a crucial decision ahead of today’s clash with West Ham, with the pressure mounting after two disappointing performances.

Vitalii Mykolenko, the Ukrainian left-back, has struggled in recent games, and his retention in the starting lineup may prove costly. Dyche must consider dropping Mykolenko to arrest Everton’s slide.

Mykolenko’s vulnerability was exposed by Adama Traore’s pace and Southampton’s Kyle Walker-Peters and Adam Armstrong’s clever runs. His attacking contributions have also been underwhelming, with just three successful crosses from nine attempts and one from 11 long balls in the last two games.

Former Everton player Michael Ball has echoed concerns about Mykolenko’s form, labeling him a “weak link.”

“Vitaliy Mykolenko has had a slow start to the season since he came back,” Ball said. “He had a poor first half against Fulham and because there’s no pace in behind, he’s being targeted as a weak link by the opposition because they know if they get beyond the full-back, they’re free.”

To address this issue, Dyche could consider shifting Ashley Young to left-back and deploying Seamus Coleman at right-back. This tactical adjustment may provide greater stability and security against West Ham’s attacking threats.

With the Friedkin Group already demonstrating their willingness to make tough decisions, Dyche knows he must get his team selection right. Dropping Mykolenko may be the necessary call to revive Everton’s fortunes.

As Everton battles to avoid the relegation zone, Dyche’s decision on Mykolenko’s future in the starting lineup will be pivotal. Will he make the bold move required to turn their season around?
