Oleksandr Zinchenko (17)

should go back to playing counter strike. i hope we sell him and upgrade this summer. a level below the rest of the team.

Like I said…

Kiwior is a centerback playing fullback. It’s miles more secure than whatever the fuck Zinchenko was doing today.

They’re both not it anyway. Kiwior struggled against decent wingers too. Like Zinchenko usually does.

Again, they’re both mediocre defenders. Neither would make my best team at Arsenal. Tomiyasu all the way and if fit Timber would start there too.

Why do you think I want us to go all in on Camavinga. That’s LB/DM sorted for the next 10 years.

Very true. Kiwior would not have changed the result for us today one jot.

Kiwior is miles ahead as a FB

They’re both more or less at the same level. Kiwior slightly better defensively, Zinny is better offensively.

Neither are the long-term answers at left back. Same goes for Tomiyasu who I think is the best out of the three.

Yeah we really benefited from having him in attack today with the zero goals we scored.

Man has turned into a right liability.

That’s not it though.

With him, it allows Rice to push further forward.

Zinny hasn’t been a goalscorer or assister but he allows us to move, collectively, further upfield.

Well, in the first half he and Odegaard pulled off a bunch of passes in behind that we could have scored from so he’s not exactly useless.

Again, Zinchenko can be upgraded upon. You won’t have me arguing that.
I don’t think we lost the game because of him though.

We lost the game because when we were on top of them we didn’t capitalize.

I get that but I think the team has moved beyond him. I don’t feel secure with him in the backline.

I also don’t want Rice moving up the pitch. I want him at the six, not the eight.

Maybe Jorgi missing from the off cost us today. Don’t know. It just all felt very stagnant.

Wasn’t just a Zinny thing. Rice was shit, White was shit, Havertz had a nosebleed in front of goal, Gabby looked headless on a couple of crucial occasions. Not to mention Gabriel Offside Jesus.

Anyway, defeats happen. Onwards and upwards. Back in the day, we’d have still won the league. That cheat code up north has ruined football and made it all too predictable.

That was a true disasterclass that second half.

He’s not Arsenal level anymore

Not sure why is Arteta pushing him again quite often lately after Kiwi has such a solid run.

Especially in a quite big game like today.

Although I can only wish he was among the main reasons for the defeat today.

He got skinned as recently as Tuesday. He’s not the ā€œsaviourā€ at LB.

It’s really annoying, isn’t it?

Got skinned by Kudus, got skinned by Bernardo, got skinned by Conceicao Jr, got skinned by Sane.

I didn’t want to bring it up, but we looked more solid defensively against Bayern when Zinny replaced him.

It’s like we have Maldini at left-back and we don’t know about it.

Both are pretty average defenders.

If u get skinned by a 40 year old Bernardo Silva, weighing in at 50 kg and the pace of a snail, you know its bad. Might aswell play Zini if Kiwior gets skinned so easily too.

Zinny can fuck off. Nice bloke I’m sure but he’s not helping us in an attacking sense. He must be a nightmare to play with as a winger. You make your run abd he checks back and takes 4 unnecessary touches.

Why the fuck was he trying to meg players on the edge of our box. Nearly cost us a goal - only the woodwork saved him.

This little bitch was crying at Anfield last year, now he’s back a year later to put on disaster classes.

This message is overly harsh. I know this but he’s our worst full back. Why is he playing.
