Looks tired.
Iām
Not doubting his quality, but I genuinely want Norgaard in for the scraps. It wonāt happen but Iād start Norgaard vs Spurs. Zubimendi looks absolutely fried. Even after not starting in Sunday.
Iām still yet to see a more than a āgoodā player tbh.
Doesnāt help heās replaced one of the best midfielders weāve had in 20 years but I think heās too small and weak to really be our Rodri. His pace is also not there when he gets caught ahead of the ball, unlike Rodri we know he wonāt get away with persistent fouling to accommodate it.
Good when we dominate and teams are more open, need to see more overall.
Check who from arsenal is there. The guy that gets abused no matter what
Can we.please try something different in midfield?
Doesnāt even pass the eye test tbh with you. Think heās an incredibly average player when heās sitting in the 6 position. His passing is boring, safe and never seems to get the ball into dangerous areas.
I donāt really get the hype right now about him. He was being compared to Rodri in his early days he is absolutely miles off.
Better than Partey apparentlyā¦
Zubi is quality, and heās better than Partey. He was a good player for us, but I think his achievements at Arsenal are often overstated. His injury record alone gets overlooked.
Occasionally transforms into a fuck up merchant that would cause David Luiz to raise an eyebrow.
@The_Invincibles your boy is at it again.
Sort him out, mate.
I know. He almost gave me a heart attack in the stadium today. It was almost as bad as one of Parteyās brain farts. Iāll have a word!
He offers next to nothing when we want to move the ball out from the deep.
Or when we need someone to make something happen in the middle, deeper, make some key move⦠Heās a peripheral figure there.
A positive player allround, but heās quite upgradeable.
Is he brain dead? Why does this fucking idiot keep doing this
Your Partey agenda is crazy. Itās not even about the off field stuff which I could understand, you keep going like Partey was some bum on the field for us.
What actually is his consistent role? Itās very confusing? Is he suppose to be doing line breaking passes? Or support the back 4 or combination of both? Or is he just fatigued? Every top club wanted him last year.
The midfield isnāt clicking at all this season - Rice is the only exception but as a midfield unit, they donāt seem to be working well together. Itās either a tactical or personnel issue.
Still relevant post.
I just donāt see whatās so special about him. Maybe Arteta isnāt utilising him effectively but the errors heās been making are simply unacceptable. Find it hard to believe heās from Spain, his passing, vision and composure on the ball isnāt top tier.
Good first half of the season, but dog shot the rest of the way.
Needs some time out the team
He isnāt transformable for us. What does he actually do apart from lose the ball
Facts are facts. Playing in this position comes with risk. Zubi has been better at managing it than Partey but it doesnāt mean he wasnāt a good player for us as Iāve said numerous times.
Zubi is not a proper 6 in my book. Gives away needless fouls and makes defensive errors of judgement every other week.
His best quality is scoring volleys.
