#11 | Oleksandr Zinchenko - 2020/21 Performances

[cleavers]

If you think Zinchenko plays a traditional LB role, you’re simply not looking.

I don't.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Actually he did what Pep was asking for pre match,
play a CL semi like a friendly and be yourself.

Esp. stopping the long ball with the outside (0:46), training pitch stuff. Cool as fuck.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

He was brilliant last night, but to be fair I think he's always been decent for us.

 

[Gabriel]

If our football continues to evolve in this fashion, we don't really need a traditional swashbuckling left-back to maraud up and down the line; perhaps that's why Bernabe and Gomes have been utilized as fullbacks this season.

 

[eastmanc]

He's a great young player, with a great attitude, he's not a left back, he's a midfielder, but he does what is asked of him wherever he plays for City, he'll captain his country soon enough, they think that much of him, and it'll be as a midfielder.

He already has captained Ukraine.

If our football continues to evolve in this fashion, we don't really need a traditional swashbuckling left-back to maraud up and down the line; perhaps that's why Bernabe and Gomes have been utilized as fullbacks this season.

The EDS has also been unlucky with injuries to the primary fullbacks this year so they've been deployed there partly out of necessity.

He certainly did. He is such a good player. I hope he is one of the first names on the team sheet for Tuesday.

 

[OB1]

He certainly did. He is such a good player. I hope he is one of the first names on the team sheet for Tuesday.

I'm sure he will start on Tuesday. For one thing they won't want to risk Cancelo being unavailable for the final if we get through.

Zin merits a starting place regardless.

 

[eversince 76]

I say it again. Zinchenko is the perfect fit in our team as a LB anytime. Technique of the highest quality, never hiding when forced in difficult situations, big game player and tons of experience that made him already captain his country.
Most underrated player. Still. It honestly beats me why.
