Zinchenko might have been listed at LB on the BBC graphic but he certainly wasn’t playing it. Oh I have watched him plenty of times. His defending in the left back area often wasn't great either. Being nutmegged by Trent in the Liverpool match (in the left back area) springs to mind. More recently, falling on his arse against Murphy in the Newcastle match. In the left back area. Zinchenko was replaced by Tierney - the left back. Edited May 31, 2023 by Chewing Taffies 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jives Miguel Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 A series of dreadful posts from Donathan there. "ohh ackshullay he wasn't playing left-back, he was playing as an inverted hybrid mezzala wing midfielder in the famous 3.5 -2 - 0.5 - 2.5 - 1.5 formation. Have you even watched this season, pleb" -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satoshi Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Imagine making things up just to criticise one of our players, absolutely mental behaviour. For the avoidance of doubt, Tierney has made more than 5x as many appearances at left back for Arsenal this season than Kiwior and Tomiyasu combined. He has made many more starts than both combined. He has played many more minutes than both combined. So if you really believe Tierney is 4th choice left back you live in a fantasy world. If you don't, then your attempt at trolling has been piss poor and you really must do better next time. More likely you dived in, massively fucked it up, and lack the self confidence to humbly admit you got it wrong so you kept digging instead. Think maybe time to disappear for a bit.

Tierney was even doing the same in a couple of game he came off the bench and you could see it didn't suit him at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same way that Harry Kane doesn't become a midfielder because he spends a large portion of the game collecting the ball in very deep positions. In the same way that Mo Salah and David Beckham are(were) both right-wingers, despite having very different roles and styles of play. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A desperate, dreadful troll who couldn't get a bite in a petting zoo He used to annoy me but look at it more as jokes than trolling. Some of them are pretty good, some not so good. Same kind of deal as @Barry Ferguson's Hat And in fairness he gets a bite nearly every post from the only poster who seems to be unable to detect any form of humor. Theres only one poster making the forum unreadable and it isn't the guys posting one line jokes. Its the guy rewriting the same 5 paragraphs and posting them continuously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently sky started changing their formation graphics to include Stones and Trent in defensive mid in front of a back 3 despite both actually playing right back in your eyes They're playing both defensive midfield and fullback depending on the phase of play, Zinchenko only really pops up at left back when arsenal haven't had the ball for 30 seconds or so of play, which isn't very often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they're both playing full back. Thank you. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roles change and develop all the time, just like the Salah-Beckham example I raised shows. If you're basing what a players position is by his average positions on the pitch then you're a moron I'm afraid. and you therefore also think that Cancelo is a right-winger and Harry Kane a centre-midfielder. Ederson's also a sweeper now, not a goalie. You sound like a fella that was a picture of Jonathan Wilson on his bedside table. Grow up. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 “It’s something good to have in the team. We encourage him [to move into midfield] and he’s a midfield player playing as a full-back, it gives us the adaptability and the variety of positions to attack and defend spaces. It’s an extra weapon to have because we are more unpredictable.” Arteta on Zinchenko. Tierney doesn’t have that in his locker. Tierney is just a left back, mostly left back in the dressing room. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
