on track to be a 90 point team with Zinchenko in it last season but it’s taken 5 games this season for us to “clearly need to move past him”
football fans are so ruthless and not in a good way, just dumb rewriting of the past to suit whatever is the current narrative
A lot of people are being very emotional yes but I can’t remember one game this season where Zinchenko did the things he was doing last season. I feel it’s by instruction but idk
The chemistry with Rice and the 8s isn’t there yet at all and everyone is suffering for it. But I’m not making snap judgements on players off of a few games where lack of cohesion is the main factor
Don’t really have to rewrite the past. He has his pros and cons, but next summer will he be a undroppable piece? We’ll see.
considering Teta starts him every game and binned KT whom he loved for him I would say yes it’s very likely he’ll be a key part of the project in a year
Timber might have something to say about that
I adore this tendency to want to bin a good player the moment someone else seems to do well there and in the same vein complaining about options
but this has been a hallmark of Mikel’s tenure though. Raya replacing ramsdale out of nowhere, Tierney who was one of the players Mikel consistently relied upon when fit was binned the moment he signed Zinchenko, when Xhaka left, im sure plenty figured ESR would be given a proper chance but he went to sign a player who’s never even played in that position for it. If anything, apart from Saka, Saliba and Rice now, i think it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that everyone else is disposable.
What’s interesting is that only Raya and Ramsdale are both Arteta players. I don’t like how he didn’t use KT even though he is not useless but as a part of trusting the process I understand he knows vastly better than me what he’s doing. But with fans I feel more often than not it’s guessing game and complaining about contradictory things
