I am struggling to see why they are persisting with him.
He plays as an inverted fullback, which is an important role in Arteta's attacking system. In short, Zinchenko is used as an additional midfielder. He's not a great defender though, and is often out of position because of where he is on the field (central).

@bayimports You look at that list and it reeks of clubs panicking.
Apart from Parker and Gerrard have any of the others really made a difference?
Obviously Lampard is also a shite Manager but Everton could still go down.
Maybe Big Sam is the answer

Big Sam is in at Leeds and talking himself up as usual. Almost exactly 25 years ago, he was celebrating taking Notts up to League 1 in a record-breaking season of 99 points and the next season Bolton came calling.
Haaland breaks the EPL scoring record with 35 in the season. Nice finish for his goal. Dixie Dean on 60 is the ultimate target - that is a true outlier as nobody else has beaten 50 goals in the top flight. And he was only 21 at the end of that season and Everton only managed 102 for the whole season - even Haaland doesn't get close to 60% of City's goals.

@dogmeat At the start of the season who would have thunk that from having Tuchel and spending big money, Chelsea would end the season with Lampard after he was sacked by Everton?

That was a weird decision let's face it. Of course my Spurs are never immune to making head scratching decisions themselves

@KiwiPie and Potter getting sacked by two premier sides in a season.. Chelseas a good chance of losing to Bournemouth this weekend as well..

Potter wasn't sacked twice? Brighton continues to do very well and Chelsea seem worse now

true..I should have said departed, still Potter left a Prem Club twice in a season. Brighton have continued to excel without him and are enjoyable to watch that was never in question

The guy that got sacked twice was Flt Sgt Parker and his acrobatic cardigan

ha ha, although he was right that Bournemouth needed a cash injection of which Maxim Demin didn't want to continue..but I am glad GON changed the way we played
edit: no question both Fulham and Bournemouth improved after he left

The Newcastle-Arsenal game was a good watch, and physical. It had a bit of everything - VAR overturning an early penalty (correctly), shots hitting the posts/crossbar, great saves from both goalkeepers, and the right result.

It was a very poor reason to overturn a ref's decision - just because it didn't hit his hand.
Not entirely sure why Lindelof's handball wasn't referred back to the ref to take a look. They seemed to interpret it as not making his body shape bigger despite the fact he moved his hand towards the ball. Very odd. Top 4 race is all on now - although Liverpool do have to keep winning and hoping those above drop more points

@Bovidae Agree on the penalty and first because it hit his leg and second it was obvious, unlike with McGuire, he was trying to get his arm out of the way. The physical nature of the game was good for Arsenal and shows them what they need. But Jorginho!!! Despise the dramatics.
