Oleks Zinchenko - 2018/19 Performances

[oakiecokie]

I still rate him above Mendy ... seriously ... and I`m not wumming.

 

[jollylescott]

He has such a cultured left foot. I actually have more confidence in Zin than Mendy, both in attack and defence.

Besides, he’s our lucky charm. I don’t think we have lost a game where he has started.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Great little player. Always good to have a midfield brain working behind the midfield!

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Made a few runs that should have been found but weren't.... Quality guy and great asset to the squad.

Mini kev in
Kdb injured

and so it goes on.

 

[Mon Autre]

He was solid yesterday. When you think about how long some players take to settle back in after injury I thought it was really impressive. Played like he'd never been away.

Defensively yes, but I really wouldn’t under estimate mendys attacking ability, he has a monster of a left foot on him

 

[oldius]

Two really good players. It's such a shame we haven't seen anything of Mendy. When he focusses as much on his defensive duties he is a really solid full back and we have seen it in a couple of the games he's played against top level opposition. Zin is an immense talent but doing a great job out of position. I think he is Gundogan's replacement when he leaves and I rate Gundogan. Zin is totally adept at receiving the ball, turning and setting up attacks.

Zin is an immense talent but doing a great job out of position.

How long does he have to play exclusively as a left back before not being considered as played out of position?

How long does he have to play exclusively as a left back before not being considered as played out of position?

It's not his natural position, though he clearly can now do a very good job there. Of course, Pep seeks such different things from a full back too, which is part of that.
