Jim, I've watched him play for his country a few times, and he has a lot more skill than we often get to see from him, I suspect that is because he's under orders from Pep to be more conservative, and you don't get into Pep's team, if you don't do what you are told.

He's not a full back, he's a midfielder, and good at attacking, I wonder with Fern going if we might see him transform into this at City now ?

I have asked this on here before, probably a couple of seasons back and possible it was before Rodri's arrival or said during the first season as he was struggling a bit (obviously, I was wrong about Rodri, what a player he has turned into btw)

Zinchenko is a clubs perfect substitute, he can cover so many positions that it gives a manager other options on the bench,Zin can competently play LB, LWB, LM, LW, DM, MC and AM and all for the princely sum of 1.9m love it, absolutely love it.

Respect to him for turning down a move to battle for a place in this talent filled squad.
 
As of today, Manchester City historical records show that Zinchenko has made 128 appearances for City since 2017, the vast majority as left back. Whether we think he is good bad or indifferent and whatever his own and Ukraine's preferences, can we stop claiming he is not "a real left back", the facts are that for City he is and has been.

He wasn't too shabby tonight, was he C?
 
Zinny was wonderful to watch. Have so much love and respect for this lad. No one will ever replace Zabs but this lad is made of the same stuff

I love Zinchenko to bits. I've replied to a number of posts regards his attitude and fight which are superb!!
Sorry though he's not a replacement for Fern as he's simply too small for that role.
I desperately want him to stay, but he'll go back to an excellent squad player if we sign a LB. It may be he feels slightly wasted doing so.
If he chooses to leave he's assured of an excellent reception whenever he plays at the Etihad

Scotland's left back was proper shit.

Scotland’s manager was proper shit. Got the formation, system and tactics hopelessly wrong. Hickey was poor but the entire team were rubbish.
Steve Clarke had a brainfart worthy of Pep tonight.
