Oleksandr Zinchenko: C’est Zinny

[Mrs Bergkamp]

This guy is a proper baller. He makes it looks so effortless but adds so much to our play. He's another great addition

 

[pigge]

Once again I remember he only cost 30 mil! What a steal.

 

[Batman]

He's everywhere. I don't know how he can stand at the end of the match playing 3 positions but I love him. He's another player who is always going to give every ounce of himself for the team and that is what Champions are made of. I can only see him continuing to thrive here.

 

[Nunowoolmez]

The guy has a huge engine. I love his passion. Hes just a quality footballer who is crazy versatile. Like a luxury version of James Milner lol. Please stay fit!

 

[str8ballin]

top top baller - he makes the game look easy

 

[Gunner-Union]

Def our best midfielder despite being on the team sheet as a left back. Great vision and passing and better at defending than I thought he was

 

[NieThePiet]

I have no idea how we want to find a back-up for him, i don't know another LB who is playing similar to him or who could play this.

He is just different

 

[razörist]

He’s Iniesta starting from left back lol

 

[boonthegoon]

Watching the game again, he had impact on 3 of the goals. Insane player.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Some people were saying it was a game for Tierney uno.

 

[TopGunner81]

Sloppy in the first half hour but my god he was amazing after that

 

[pigge]

In peps biography in 10 years he will mention Zinchenko as one of his worst transfer mistakes. Losing a great player making his competition better than his own team.
How many super-blunders in transfer has there been? Top of my head i can only think of Van P, Ashley cole (unfortunately, it seems to be us usually)

 

[TheGreatWright8]

One little critique he tends to hold on to the ball far longer then nessersary showed reluctance to release it at times.

Yes look want to be perfect everytime his role is demanding but have to get things more simple

 

[El Duderino]

Some of his defending has been very iffy lately.

Think Mikel needs to adapt to playing him differently without Partey on the pitch. Maybe invert him a little bit less.

You don’t look for a lb to replace him. You look for a no10 who’s got crazy work rate and is good defensively

Think he just isn’t a great defender no? Not just lately, that’s always been the case, it’s what you accept for having his other qualities.

 

[Pop Tart]

He is just acceptable at defending. going forward he is brilliant and i am happy we have him. Could arteta possibly play him as a midfielder? Something I would like to see next season

 

[BergMan]

Zinchenko gets too emotional at times, he needs to learn to control his emotions.

 

[El Duderino]

I get that, but at some point you bank on him being your left 8, a job he can easily do, and bring someone who can provide width and a bit of what he currently does now + some defending.
