Zinchenko possible Holding Midfielder

[Robbothecitizen]

Who else watched the Ukraine vs Scotland game last night? Personally thought Zincheko was absolutely mustard and looked every bit City class… my question I put forward is….. would anyone see zinchenko as a holding midfielder in the future? Before you answer have a think, he totally bosses that game in said position last night?

EDIT : Or failing that as a number 8?

He’s not physical enough to he a defensive midfielder. His best position is on the left of a midfield three but he won’t get any playing time there at City because of the talent we have in that position.

Fair point Seth, how about a 8 when seeing out a game?

just recently he seems to have found what I thought he lacked he still could not cope adequately as our holding midfield.

I’ve waited that long to see the quality he’s shown in his last 3 matches that in all honesty I didn’t think I’d ever see it.

Defensive midfield might be a struggle but I could definitely see him in the 8 role, personally.

I just hope he stays!

He's no more a holding midfielder than Dinho was a CB.

Do you not think Pep has thought about it during his 6 year residence?

And given not once has he decided its in our best interest.....might provide your answer.

Maybe, just a passing thought, the general consensus is an 8 maybe a DM no

Terrific player, very left footed, weakness or strength ?
