#11 | Oleksandr Zinchenko - 2020/21 Performances

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

I have to say I'd rather him at left-back most of the time over every other option. I know he has a rick in him but I think he's been generally very good filling in there for a long time now.

Played pretty well against Chelsea and United after more or less not playing for over a year. Well done, Zin

He's always been good going forward but could be exposed defensively - which to be fair is not unexpected as a natural midfielder. But that's something that's much easier to live with when the CB partnership is a brick wall compared to the mess it was last year

He has taken his chance well these past two games,clearly not a left back but he is doing an admirable job.

Think he’s been great the last two matches.

 

[supersonicblue]

excellent especially with his crisp passing which helps get out so much quicker. Made some great tackles and interceptions. Only worry is defending the back post

Started off poor by giving it away a bit. Soon settled in though and kept rashford quiet all game. I can only think of one time Rashford got the better of him and he ended up being offside

Great player to have in the team

Attackers one on one is a pretty big flaw too. But agree with the above been steady the last 2 games and taken his chance again when it looked like he might be out of favour.

Yeah I was worried when someone ran at him

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

He retains possession a lot better than Mendy and looks like he is getting his form back where he nailed down the left back position into the back end of the 18-19 season. A few of them went at him a couple of times but if you’ve got Diaz mopping up behind you it’s not a biggie.

bless this lad, i cant think of a more honest workaday player in the squad since Delph, except Zinchenko is slightly better.

He's not the best, no, but god loves a trier and whilst trying really hard might not win you the champions league, it will certainly get you a win at the swamp on a freezing wednesday. Still had the balls to attack (a bit) despite having a far faster player in Rashford on his left shoulder. Anyone who has played against a far faster player at full back will know that the temptation to just sit deep and not be skinned is overwhelming. Commendable.
