Oleksandr Zinchenko (17)

Not been a fan of Zinchenko since the initial gloss of his signing wore off. I am never comfortable with him at the back but Mikel seems to think he offers enough going forward to make up for his defensive inefficiencies.

For me, the more we play him, the lesser our chances of finishing the season strong. There are just a few games left, play Tomi or Kiwior, based on the opposition. Even if we struggle up top, we can at least be reasonably sure we won’t concede.

The Athletic reiterating we’re targeting a left back in the summer.


Fuck the striker pursuit, go all in on Camavinga.
Get Nico Williams too for better forward depth and we’re sorted.

Two seasons in a row? I think we all know who was at fault for last season’s collapse.

Not Holding.

Who else was it dragging our backline out of balance? Who else was it forcing Partey to drop into a centerback slot? The ghost of Martin van Buren?

I know :ramsdale:

Holding was the one that made Saka miss a penalty. Holding was the one that got megged by Trent. Holding was the one that provoked Anfield while we were 2-0 up. Holding was the one that tried to dribble past Rice.
Holding was the one that passed it straight to a Southampton player right outside our penalty box within 5 minutes.

Don’t get me wrong. The dude is a shite player but the lads capitulated last season and were shivering at the thought of the City train.

Legend. was it to get it out of your suggested topics? I browse by suggested topics sometimes on the underground and I do the same thing to get rid of suggestions I don’t want :smile:

Where did he say that? :hipster:

Just like that you buried this ridiculous “Holding cost us the league” movement

Hardly. I’ll never let that go. He did cost us the league.
