zinchenko rally

Yes really

100th appearance for our John.

We should really win midfield, I mean , come on-Barkley?

He likes to play well against us

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Gundogan again?! Wow

He's been our most consistent midfield player recently , deserves his place

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Hmmm not our best team by a long chalk

It’s not, but the only real shock is Zinchenko. That’s come out of nowhere, but Bernardo and Sterling is as expected, and Gundogan v Silva was a 50:50 considering the form they are both in.

 

[aguero93:20]

I’m I missing something do we play midweek is that the reason for Zinchenko playing,surely pep has seen him time and time again be caught out when played at left back ..

No, we've got the midweek off and the cup next week.

 

[cityzens]

Pep has to know something we don't.
Bernardo on right wing = expected
Gundogan instead of David = expected (better form, was great against Arsenal).
Sterling on left wing = expected.

But not moving Laporte to LB and add Otamendi with Stones in the middle? Zinchenko has made huge mistakes when passing under pressure, and he can't defend for sh*t. Why is he playing against one of the most dangerous teams? Makes no sense Pep. Why?

 

[come-on-barney]

All those criticising Zinny he has rarely let us down. I would concentrate your thoughts on Mahrez not seeing the summer out, Foden nowhere to be seen, and Leroy always the fall guy!

 

[razman]

Lol I can understand Zinchenko, but why are people flapping over Gundogan....he has been one of our better players in the last few games

 

[Easy]

Gundogan and Zinchenko ffs, it will be a miracle if we get more than a draw
