Can we finally put to bed any criticism of Zinny - pound for pound one of the best signings we have ever made. Happens to be a good man too. I remember when they first posted the training videos on the website Zinny was always cheerful, always positive and clearly was liked by everyone. He's a very underrated player as well, today was an example of that, he added balance and drove forward which helped change the mindset of the team.

He should be example and one of role model for our academy player.

His path to the first team is harder than even academy player (He is just CFG player at first FFS), many of them also have potential ceiling higher than him yet he make it to the first team and become a servant and good squad player for our team.

Highest achievement avalaible for someone that never been seen as world class player, i have major2 respect for his grit and determination to reach this far.

Repeatedly said this. Zin cost us the princely sum of 2m Euros.
I criticised his performance at West Ham (which he deserved), but qualified it as he was playing in a patchwork back 4.
Today his introduction transformed us, he added much needed balance.
The lad, going forward, adds so much with his midfielders vision. Won't get a midfield berth as he's too small - but what a squad player to have.
The fact Pep brought him on to sort us out speaks volumes
 
You have your flaws defensively, but your attitude and feet are fucking amazing and it is a lot due to you that we can celebrate today.

I cried with you at Goodison Park when He Ain’t Heavy with the Hollies was played.

If I wanted someone to lift that trophy a little bit more than anyone else, it was you, Zin. I really hope you are a part of this team for a long time to come.
 
Honestly changed everything for my money.

I know Phil is our home grown blue, but he had his shirt over his face after their second. Zinchenko was down in front of us, choking the life out of a bottle of water, with a face of determined fury.

He was our fan on the pitch today. He’ll never be first choice left back but he was absolutely integral to our second half today. Love the guy.

He is absolutely amazing. The guy stands next to zabaleta and looks like surpassing him.

Absolute warrior.

The Iceman, cool as you can be.
 
My God the bit with the flag and the trophy and then breaking down in tears had me getting moist eyed too. So good to see so many of our players get straight over to him as well.
 
There was a game recently (can't remember which one) but he was on the left side with Cancelo and he had a word with him, seemed like he was saying through all the gesturing and stuff, that 'this is my position and I'm going to show you why'. Maybe today he cemented that feeling
