Match Reaction v Man Utd (home)

[selassie]

He was a bit scruffy at times but the same could be said for many today. I believe United are the best team we’ve faced this season because we didn’t look anywhere near as polished as we usually do. That was down to their pressing and midfield.

No doubting his ability though. I think he’s a pretty unique player and it was a masterstroke signing him. Clearly a huge leader too, just embodies everything you want from a player mentally.

Top post as usual MO, I agree.

Zinchenko is a top class player IMO, huge leader too as you said and a player with a great mentality, a will to win. What he adds to this team is unique, the inverted full back role he plays, regularly sees him in Midfield linking play with Partey, Xhaka and Ode. Zinchenko is world class on the ball, rarely gives it away, beats the press with ease and he is a great dribbler. He is a top top player, in the kind of mould of someone like Philip Lahm or Joshua Kimmich.
