Martin Zubimendi: Zubiquity

[Thrice]

Zubimendi and Rice is an absolute dream combo in midfield and I think Rice is a big reason Zubimendi has adapted to the Premier League so well and so quickly. They complement each other's strengths so well.
Rice with his ability to cover ground and winning the ball without ever committing a foul is like a security blanket for someone like Zubimendi.

There were people on here at the start the season trying to tell me Zubimendi was a down grade on Partey.

Ødegaard being that low despite his tendency to pick the ball up from deep says a lot.

Edit: realised it’s not adjusted for minutes played so I’ll let him off.

 

[Legend14]

Just as poor as Ødegaard. Should not be starter. Slows us down. Can’t defend.

 

[NieThePiet]

Sadly so incosistent.

On his good days he is one of the best in the world, but on his poor days he is literally a non-factor and somehow he still doesn't get subbed off

 

[MutableEarth]

Still think he's a good player but every concern I had about him is coming to pass.....

We really need to give Nørgaard or MLS a chance in midfield and give this guy time to recover. This is not the same player six months ago. Arteta is ruining players because he makes the squad smaller than it actually is.

When has MLS ever played in midfield?

 

[Aubamabludclat94]

Has been seriously struggling to control the pace of the game for the last 2 months or so. Has been unable to assert himself against strong pressers as well. Might need a game or two off

When has Merino ever played up front before he signed for us? It's called trying something new.

It’s missing a Fabian Ruiz type player for me to provide more composure balance and penetration on the left side.

 

[Ljonin]

He looks tired as ****.

Merino wasn't ever the 3rd choice LB though.

I’ve noticed he’s one of the guys who tends to fall apart in nervy situations when he plays the role that is really expected to control the game in those same situations.

Not a great trait to have as a 6…

If he starts ahead of Nordgaard next game we deserve to lose. It’s a joke to big up the squad when the manager picks the same players no matter performance

You can say that to all our players lately Zubi is new in this league so im expecting his performance will drop in game but Arteta seriously need to consider give Nørgaard minutes

That’s true. It’s normal for players form to drop yet we’ve just continued to play Zubi and Timber through their worst periods.
