    What does Zina evolve to on this team? The true LB/RB profile is evolving. We will see more UCL teams with pacey wingers start to target him more. That was part of Chelsea’s plan yesterday.

    I think that’s Timbers spot long term, but what does that mean for Zina long term? Do we move him central as a CM option? Not sure

      I can’t wait to phase him out. We are missing that pacey but technical full back. If we could get someone like Nuno mendes or Alphonso Davies in the region of 50-60 million I would 100% do it.

      We can get away with Zinchenko against the majority of teams in the league. The main issue is that we struggle to convert the dominance inverted Zinchenko gives us into actual goals (he’s not blameless here but the fault lies mostly with our attack) so we get none of the tangible rewards but most of the risk.

      Zinchenko could evolve to play as a 6 the way City played Bernardo there against us, or how Rico Lewis plays. Especially once Partey and Jorginho leave, would give us added tactical variety.
