Match Reaction v Man Utd (home)

[Mac76]

I meant he rarely gives the ball away in general.

I just can't agree, to my mind he does it a lot, I can't ignore what i see

I can't claim to be some footy stat expert but his pass completion and successful pass stats are very high.

look at his dispossessed and dribble figures - this is where he's weak IMO, dawdling on the ball, he nearly gave a goal away doing it at Spuds and it started off one or two Utd attacks yesterday too

But look he's a good player, i'm just looking for a bit of balance

Yeah fair point Mac, I'll watch him more closely from now on

Though I agree with you that Zinchenko's overall contribution to the team is immense, I must say (at least before White's poor show yesterday) that his flank is our weakest defensively and watching games shows a lot of dangerous attacks emanating from his flank.

Also he has been bit sloppy with his passing in our half inviting pressure, but so has Partey. I think ist more of a result of the kind of progressive passing style we insist on, which lets face it, has bore us fruits.

It hasn't cost us much yet, but people are noticing and lets hope more teams don't take advantage of it.

Either way it's winning games at the moment but we can still improve and mix it up once in a while (something surprisingly Xhaka does the best in the middle).
