Depends on where you see his ceiling.
If it's with a club where we are then there's plenty more holding him back.
I'd love him to be better as a home grown player - he just isn't. Mid table PL player at best

He fits in nicely with where we are currently as we are average.

He has some attributes I think and rescued a point for us so it wasn’t all bad. The positioning for their goal was poor but Pep sets the team up.

Agree that compared to recent seasons we're bang average currently, and we all agree there are several reasons why.
I applaud his effort, but he's nowhere near a starter once we correct the issues.

Can’t rewrite history and pretend Zinchenko is a good defender, hasn’t been able to break into arsenals side and we took that stupidly high offer for him without thinking because he’s actually not very good at all.

Zinchenko was taller at least and stronger, so he could tackle more and win aerial duels more and was a better defender, but Zinchenko also was a liability.

But he was great with the ball and I don't remember loosing him balls stupidly in our third like Rico did today or does in every game and therefore he was balancing his defensive weaknesses with great involvement in the second and final thirds of the pitch.

When Arsenal bought him, he was their main addition that summer, cause Jesus had injuries and with the addition of Zinchenko, they became a title contender team compared to the team they were year before, which was fighting for top4.

How people even dare and compare Rico to Zinchenko. in 18/19 he was flying and starting every game, because he was literally irreplaceable for us and in that season Zinchenko was also 20 years old. Pep had Danilo and could easily play him, it's not like this season, where Pep has to play Rico because we don't have other players due to injuries and still has was choosing Zinchenko because he was contributing a lot and was stable and efficient in every game.

And Rico is very very very far from being irreplaceable, literally it's a big relief that Pep won't play him next game and we will have 11 players capable to play decent football.

Are we just ignoring his brilliant goal, then?

Great finish Rico.

Nice one, last time I checked, I have about the same post/like ratio to you. My opinion is just as valid as anybody elses. Make of that what you will.

It's like Kolarov scoring free-kick goal out of 10 attempts in a game where we were loosing 2:0..

If we are talking about inverted fullback, he shouldn't be evaluated by goals. And he isn't scoring that much to forget the other things. When was the last time he scored the goal ? Yep, that's my point.

OK so let's paper over the giant cracks then

Just mind your business, nobody has to think like you, it's just your idea and stay in your shoes.

Who the fuck are you, so that because of you like Rico, I also have to like Rico.

You like Rico, I don't like, what's the problem ? is he your son or something ?

That's the purpose of this forum, so that we could post different ideas.

Anyone has freedom to shove his face in Rico's ass and I have a freedom to do otherwise and vice-versa.

Democracy and freedom of speech, that's the cornerstone of our society.

Democracy gives me freedom to say - Fuck Rico or anyone (Even though I don't hate the guy that much :D)
