He’s a tenacious little fucker isn’t he.
Doesn’t hide and fronts up when he’s made an error.
Can see this lad becoming a bit of a cult hero.
Already a cult hero for the Ukraine...a 40 yard counter attack run from midfield beating the keeper and scoring ..against Romania (i think) confirmed his popularity .Was impressed with him ,when he played,at the last euros, playing a short sharp passing game,looked very confident.
 
Thinking about his great splitting passes vs (tbh a poor) Schalke I really think
he more and more is becoming the best LB-mid for Pep in the PL.

I don't want to be carried away by his current form, but knowing Pep's 11-midfielder philosophy,
Zin seems to grow into a perfect fit.

He is/was working with Vinnie about defensive impovements, and he got better, and still has to.

Imagine we had a similar passing quality on the right side.
We would have 2 fullbacks, 1 DM and 2 AMs all being able to play splitting passes or chips down the channels.

That will be key to break up top defenses like dippers or Juve
where you have to play at high pace and high accuracy to create pressure.
 
At some point I really want to see him tried in other positions with his new found confidence.

If only there was a position that we had that requires some support, that requires a bit of defensive tenacity and excellent technique...
