Premier League Games 12-18 Jan '23

Zinchenko didn't cost us at all. And don't dare point at that West Ham game at the end of last season when Fernandinho was hobbling alongside him at centre-back. What Zinchenko did do was keep us fighting when the chips were down. Turned the 3-2 Villa game around almost on his own after coming on.

The sale of Jesus, I understood that. We had Haaland and Alvarez coming in. But we had bugger all coming in at left-back. Cancelo and Zinchenko were more than strong enough and we should have sold a better pitch to Zinchenko to keep him, but instead we let him go to our rivals without a proper replacement.

We should have put more energy into finding a back-up for Walker this summer. We're lucky that Rico Lewis has arrived to the party with a good head on his shoulders. We created a problem where there wasn't one by letting Zinchenko go. Now we're always a couple of injuries away from having Gomez play regularly. Disaster.

Zinchenko was fantastic. He was a fighter who understood Pep-ball. This will be three titles in a row for him and Jesus. He is a quality professional who, yes, has limitations, but gave his all, had seriously high quality footballing intelligence, and is showing that week in week out for a team currently on track for 100+ points.

Brilliant post. Zinchenko wasn’t the most talented member of the squad but he was a leader, passionate and players loved him. Creating a winning squad is more than just getting world class players you also need special people.

Spurs have had some amazing 2nd half comebacks this season, here's hoping

How can our players be exhausted most never get a sweat on .

I think it’s mental exhaustion with our battles over the last few years with Liverpool. Just look at Liverpool too

I’d think they were exhausted if they tired in a game, we start the games tired.

All this team huddle shit in the middle of the pitch is gimpy. They’ve just come out of the dressing room together for 15 minutes!

Arsenal look like a Rolls Royce. Massive mistake letting ZInchenko go, we're miles behind them.

Miles behind? Don’t be daft. I know it’s been a bad weekend but…. They’re on form, we’re not. That’ll change - although it might be too late for this season. But miles behind? Really???

How could they let this guy go? Seriously

I think it’s more the toe to toe with Liverpool over 5 years than the WC, and both managers look exasperated to say the least, I’d be leaning more to a mental exhaustion than physical
