#11 | Oleksandr Zinchenko - 2020/21 Performances

[dronefromsector7G]

Where are the mard arses saying Salah would run him ragged

 

[Maine Shark]

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.

What's his win percentage when he starts?

What's his win percentage when he starts?

Not sure but it's pretty incredible I think.

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.

 

[Deepest Blue]

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

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

People keep doubting him, he keeps delivering.

He’s the Ukrainian Lahm.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Next season it has to be him & one other that isn’t Mendy.

Then we will be sorted

 

[Delphinho]

Love him. Zinedine Zinchenko

 

[Trojan1962]

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.

 

[Deepest Blue]

He’s the Ukrainian Lahm.

I think of him as a new Zaba.
Popular, enthusiastic and hardworking he just keeps on improving despite not being the most naturally talented of players.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

His form has been really good in the last few games and he has looked much more composed . Good again today.

In fairness, he is actually very talented. :)

 

[oldius]

He is in really good form and deserves to hold his place, as Cancelo does. Well done Zin.

 

[Revolver]

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.

 

[Withnail]

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.

 

[yankblue]

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.

 

[OB1]

In fairness, he is actually very talented. :)

yup, that's why he is more than making a fist of it at LB when he's really supposed to be an attacking midfielder.

 

[BlueCityfan]

I love Zinchenko. He just strikes me as a person with a great attitude. And good work ethic. I don't know whether his long-term future is at City. But i would be sad to see him go.
