[Alan Harper's Tash]

Is it a pure coincidence that Zinchenko is wearing the number 17 shirt?

A mark of respect maybe?

Always has, whenever I’ve seen him play for them.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Is it wrong to be totally delighted with the fact that Ukraine may be going to the World Cup? I can't for the life of me feel that it is.

 

[BigJoe#1]

I think he wears it 'cos he knows it's my birthday!

As good a reason as any.

Keeper trying to match Eddie for cool ( and failing).

 

[RandomJ]

Scotland can't even point to the emotion of the occasion as an excuse. Ukraine are just a far superior side on every level.

 

[Barcon]

I think Zinky is more into creativity and subtlety whilst Robertson is Force 8, hoofing it as far as he can kick it, and bypassing the midfield, and when that doesn't succeed he uses his gob post-match to blame everything outside the camp he represents.

Just two of the reasons I hope Olexs smashes him to bits.

 

[Saddleworth2]

We are looking very poor. Ukraine have been good and Zinchenko very good in midfield. I have no idea why Pep doesn’t think he could do a job for us in some games.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Zinchenko is taking the piss out of McTominay and Gilmore in midfield. He’s on another level to both of them.

It’s how he’s on the half turn and he’s able to pass through them first time, every time.

I wonder if ETH will be able to do anything with McTominay. The lad has never had any proper coaching. He doesn’t know the first thing about positioning or body shape etc.

I reckon Zinchenko could be made into a good Fernandinho replacement/rotation deep lying midfielder for City. We wouldn’t need to sign the Leeds fashion victim.

 

[MCFC1993]

Is that McTominay fella actually a footballer?

You're telling me he starts week in week out for United, don't believe it.

 

[Thornliebank]

Oh really?

Yep. You think this muppet in charge and this pub team are taking us forward ?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Our very own 'Zinedine' Zinchenko running the show!

Is there a Scottish 'Rudiger' about to put Zinky onto the medical table? This is what still happens where a team doesn't have an answer to combat guile and talent!

Depends on whether he has time and whether the bad apples in the squad can undermine him.

Robertson might shout loudly down his ear, if he’s not careful.

I'm sure he would. If we didn't happen to have perhaps the best midfield in world club football.

Can anyone see Scotland getting 3 in 5 minutes?

;-)

They haven't got anybody better!!

Kevs his favourite player

He does. As soon as he's not needed defensively, he 'wanders' into midfield or the wing and creates not a little havoc!

Red cards?
