In hindsight people said the above about Angelino.
Before he came though, many, very many, thought he'd be an amazing LB and would easily dispose of this midfielder masquerading at Leftback.
It doesn't matter how many great games Zinchencko has at LB, folks will just wait around till he has a bad game, and that bad game would be pointed at as evidence he is not a "Real Leftback." Whatever that is.
Zinchencko is a leftback. A very good one at that. One of the better ones we've had at City.
Hope we get him some competition, and they both get playing time based on strategy and availability.
