Oleks Zinchenko - 2018/19 Performances

[Dax777]

For the record, Zinchencko is a defender. He is classed as a defender now. On City's books, ion the practice field and the like.

The only place where he is not a defender is in the mind of fans. He is a youth Midfielder who'd probably play a majority of his senior career as a defender. Yes, a left back. Perhaps a few games at DM, and Cameos elsewhere.

But for all intent and purpose, he is in fact a defender. At least in Peps book he is. And that's good enough for me.

He honestly did not look like much of a defender when he was repeatedly left for dead by Robben.

The only defenders in a Pep team would be the CH's and keeper. I also believe he'd like them to be just tall midfielders if he could get away with it

By Robben? Okay... Same Robben who has skinned all comers the last 7 years? That guy? Well, no wonder he gave Zee problrpr. Who'd have thunk it. :?

Yeah he's a defender...until he's not.

Starting 6 league games as a left back because the team has no one else to play there doesn't make you a defender for the rest of your career.

Exactly.What a strange comment.

Yes, anyone can play any position. But for City right now, Zee is classed as a defender.

Why did Pep say, inside left is his true position ?

Not by Guardiola he isn't.

Pep is on record as saying he isn't a defender.

For the record.
