That sounds about right. For his country, he’s a number ten and for us, we’re asking for a whole different set of skills of which he falls short. We’re all kinda hoping that Timber can be the missing link and finally lock down that left back position because even in terms of what Zinchenko offers going forward, it’s not enough, especially right now while his form is in the mud and his confidence is low, causing him to give the ball away cheaply and defensively, he’s just not the man of the moment enough.

As we start to look beyond this season, both Zinchenko and Jesus should be listening for offers because neither should be starting many games for us next season if any at all.
