#11 | Oleksandr Zinchenko - 2020/21 Performances

[IrishBlueSince92]

Is he now our first choice left back?
Or would it be Walker RB and Cancelo LB, if for example we had a CL semi final next week?

Well, knowing Pep if we had a CL semi final he'd play some untested 6-3-1 formation we've never seen before

But, I think yes he's nailed down that 1st choice LB spot, at least against sides that park the bus. If we were playing a more adventurous side like you mentioned I think we might see Walker RB and Cancelo LB, but Cancelo is playing so well at the moment it'd be tough to move him

Really? Personally I think us being 5-0 up and the opposition completely deflated should have given him a platform to showcase what he can do in that role.

What exactly did you want him to do.

 

[Hungarian blue]

I think it would be pretty unfair to judge his ability in midfield on a 20 minute cameo when we're 5-0 up.

Borderline stupid actually...

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Zinchenko left and Cancelo right is miles better than Cancelo left, Walker right. Since we love our fullbacks tucking into midfield, having Zinchenko in the squad is so important for giving us that tactical flexibility. I’d keep him for as long as he’s happy to stay. It would sadden me if we have to sell him purely because nobody wants Mendy.

Zinchenko being solid is the best we can hope for without an good attacking LB. Been good since he came into the side.

Laporte didn't do a whole lot when he came on either.
20 mins when coasting to victory doesn't give a reflection on any player.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Very good game from him, and looks like he really wants it. Hopefully he can keep this up

It'd be Laporte LB, Gundogan RM, Aké next to Fernandinho at the back and Sterling at striker and we'd go out 3-1 as Agüero, Stones and Dias watched on from the bench, to be fair.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Doing a very good job while we figure out the problem.
