Has anyone else noticed that since Zinny was injured

[WES]

In tight areas, he still can't. Although he is getting better.

The difference is not Zinchenko being missing. It is the use of Ben White as an inverted full back on the other side in the last two games. Kiwior is clearly far more comfortable as a conventional left back or centre back. White is adjusting to the role pretty nicely.

Well, Zinny being missing has led to a conventional left back and White therefore playing as the inverted full back, both of which have improved the team.

So yes, it is because Zinny is missing.

Ah yes Kiwior is a conventional left back

Ah yes Kiwior is a conventional left back

To be fair, that was my wording and I meant 'non inverted' more than conventional.

Fair enough

Does he get an assist for the throw in?

I hope so - lovely run for the fourth goal as well

It really is quite incredible how often we are getting behind teams from throw ins. Just shows how easily footballers switch off.

Brilliant work from Arteta and the coaching staff. The last side who carried this much threat from throw ins needed a towel....
