Why did we let Zinchenko go?

[Mike N]

Didn’t bother to acknowledge the City fans once last night. Just another ex City player now. I am not an arsenal fan so I’d NEVER boo him but he isn’t special any more.

That’s disappointing if he didn’t acknowledge the City fans. He had good support during his time with us.

He looked gutted last night and may have got carried away in the moment.

He's a passionate player for sure.

Geeing up the fans last night to make some noise.

 

[SWPISHOME]

I liked Zinny when he was at City, Not a fan of what he done last night trying to get Eddie sent off with the penalty in maybe that's just me being a little bias.

Anyway fact of that matter is, I think we seen last night why we sold Zinchenko he was caught out of position and got pulled apart by top players.

Nathan Ake. That is all.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Wasn't remotely courteous last night - disappointing.
Has clearly made his decision. So be it.

 

[balotellishaircut]

I think a £29m profit had alot to do with it. ;)

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

He isn't a LB by trade, when he plays his natural role he is a much better player

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Last couple of games have demonstrated why he was back up for us. He was below average Vs Brentford and almost gave us a goal last night.

A good player but not top class.

Oh FFS some of you are being childish*

He did loads before the FA Cup game about how much he loved the club, the fans, the support he was shown over the war and how it would always hold a huge part of his heart.


You can't expect a player who became loved by the fans because of his passion, and how much he cared about winning, to suddenly be all sunshine and rainbows when his team loses a massive game in the title race.

I think we were soon forgotten mate. I know he is a nice bloke, I met him a couple of times, but clearly football loyalties are very shallow

 

[trevorriley]

because position he wanted to play in we had to many choices... and because he only came in when players where injured he didnt get match fit

 

[wolviedinho]

Don’t care anymore if I ever did tbh. He is giving his all for his new team. Our players clearly have a lot of affection for the lad but we also wound him up a treat!

Time we all moved on. Very useful helping us build up from the back. Ake is more robust without that technique but I would rather have a natural defender in that role unless we come up against a team that presses high. Pep played Bernie and once we got a grip of the game and they tired switched to Ake. It works we have best of both now.

The new Eddie McGoldrick

 

[Bluewonder]

He was very good at helping Arsenal build from the back, but we knew about his defensive weaknesses and exploited them.

But nothing like good enough to replace any of our other players who also can play central midfield.

The new Eddie McGoldrick

Forgot about him...was he signed by that bloke who had a packet of sweets and a cheeky smile?

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Feel for Zinny, he’s obviously really conflicted when facing us, in game mode I obviously want us to ruin him & win, but I love the guy, his spirit & downright stubbornness to never lie down is a dying art in football, I didn’t mind him riling up the arse fans during the game either, but when alls said & done he’s moved on & so should we
