I feared for him before the Liverpool game, really thought he would be our weakest link. He did well, seems to be getting better each game.
 
I would be floored if City went after an LB this summer:
1) No obvious improvements on Zinchenko in the market for our system
2) All of our money going towards luring Messi or bidding for Haaland if rumors are to be believed
He needs a backup though. Mendy mist likely will be moved come summer.
 
I had to stop myself from asking Pep to hook him at halftime as Trent Darby had him on toast and Raheem had to drop back to bail him out.
What a transformation in the second half
 
Special mention to this kid today, I thought he had his best game for us . He really has become a safe pair of hands (or feet) in that position. He clearly loves the club and has worked hard at his game.
 
He needs a backup though. Mendy mist likely will be moved come summer.
Just put Cole Palmer there lol. Trial by fire!

But besides that, the backup is Cancelo, Ake and Laporte no?

The backup doesn't have to be exceptional in that role, and we can shift to a back 3 more comfortably with Ake or Laporte.
 
Apart from the incident where his partner moaned about the tactics v Lyon ( I think) Zinchenko has kept a low profile. Seems to knuckle down when not picked and when he’s picked never lets us down ( in games that matter) If we were to sign such a player it would cost a fortune. He is a brilliant squad player.
 
Put in a very good defensive performance today. Not going to lie but I like many thought his City career was coming to an end. Keep up the good work.
 
He played very well today, and to his credit has been good since coming back into the side after not playing for the better part of a year.

I thought his City career was just about over but he deserves to keep his spot. He's frustrating at times but you don't put in the types of performances he has without being a quality player. More importantly he seems to be a "glue guy" in the squad, popular and well liked, which helps the clubhouse.
