Oleks Zinchenko - 2018/19 Performances

[Churchlawtonblue]

A little star , his passing and awareness is excellent. His defending is getting better every game. Would walk into any other premier league first team.

Turning into a fine player at LB getting better with every game.

Credit to him, looking every bit a top player and getting better by the week.

And to think he could have gone to Wolves for £15m , so glad he stayed to fight for his place and will only get better under Pep.

He really is a top class technical footballer. Full backs, in our system, just have a more difficult job if there is a quick possession turnover, because they play so high. Given what he brings when we have the ball, it nore than compensates. Great attitude around the club too.

Yep, Even Pep sanctioned it. Fair fucks to the kid.

Although Foden is City through and through , Zinchenko is a great example , if you stay and fight you will get a chance and get games.

Etihad player of the month. Well deserved young man!

 

[Gabriel]

Been encouraged to see how quickly his stamina has improved. I think it was late in the Chelsea league game that he went down with cramp, which was understandable given his playing time, but now he looks significantly stronger. Indeed, I would imagine he ran more than Walker on Saturday, though that's just an impression. The fact that Guardiola chose him against a physical side such as Watford is also significant, as previously he'd likely have given Danilo the nod, who is physically stronger. However, the danger of playing a right-footed player at left-back was all too evident at Newcastle, and, subsequently, we've looked far more balanced with Zinchenko playing there. We should still be realistic and expect mistakes in that area, particularly if the supporting winger/midfielder switches off, but at the moment it's his position to lose.
