"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
Zinchenko is a liability.
Everyone knows this.
Last night, as against most teams when Zinny plays - Kick Off. Long ball into Zinny's position hoping that he ****s it up.
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
Last night we looked a lot more comfortable when Tomiyasu came on.
I get what Zinchenko offers but you pay a high price for it. Every time Raya played the ball to him on the edge of the box I was squirming- he is the last guy you want on the ball in that position.
I looked at our record since the new year and we have conceded 4 goals in ten league games- the silly late goal at Forest, the Newcastle consolation goal and the idiotic mistakes against Liverpool and Brentford. We are our own worst enemy in defensive areas.
There were a few times last night that he decided to take the attackers on and run past them, when playing out from the edge of the area. Real 'watching through fingers' stuff. He pulled it off each time iirc, tbf.

I don't think you can really criticise our defensive record - well you can, of course.
Well, I wasn't. I think what I was trying to say is that we are outstanding at controlling the opponents in our last third. The only real threat comes from our own silliness.
In the last two games Raya has had one save to make in each. It is no exaggeration to say that I would have made both those saves comfortably. I can't remember too many he has had to make in games before that.
I know - but I couldn't resist. You make a fair point
