I do think he picked the wrong side. And I don't think we can afford to pick Zinchenko anymore. He is a major weakness in this side.

Maybe he was trying to save Jorginho for Wednesday but I really am struggling to understand why he didn't change the shape of the midfield in the second half. We were being outplayed and it was getting progressively worse.
the warning signs were there before half time.
