City will play Spurs (twice) , Chelsea and United in the next 4 games. We're playing Newcastle (H), Spurs(A) and United (H) too... Quite tough but I trust the boys.

Omorr..... Both teams get hot games sha.

It means it'll be our next 4 games will decide who'll definitely top each other(with us at an advantage obviously)


Interesting month ahead!!

Jodera:
Both Tierney and Zinchenko plays inverted fullbacks this season. It's the reason why Tierney have lesser crosses per game this season unlike previous seasons. The only thing distinguishing Zinchenko from Tierney in that role is just quality since KT is still learning on the job

The only thing why we play double pivot with Sambi is just his overall weakness in that role. He hardly brings anything aside from recycling and maintaining possession.

What's your point?

The fact is that whenever Tierney plays he adds more width and sends more crosses than Zinchenko.

Also, a double pivot with Partey affects the flow and quality of his game. This does not apply to Lokonga or Elneny. A double pivot actually suits them.

Funny enough, I'm most worried about that Newcastle match.
Tottenham away isn't always easy but we should get it done.

To think we are yet to meet City. When are we playing our first leg with City?

My point is that Tierney doesn't play width nowadays. If you watch even our latest game against Westham where he started, he was always drifting into the Midfield/middle. Same against Brentford and Aston Villa (games he started).
And it's farce to say Tierney puts in more crosses— That's false and a very big misconception. Just because Tierney of previous seasons puts in more crosses doesn't mean he does so frequently this season. In fact he's made only 11 crosses in 14 matches this season while Zinchenko have made 11 crosses in only 9 matches.
Tbh, I always find it funny when guys this season always say KT always spam crosses. Like same Tierney weh I dey watch this season?


As for Lokonga, it's very obvious the matches he played. Elneny haven't started match this season (or just 1 if I'm not mistaken) so I can't even make a case for him.
Partey is boss. Not that he can't play Double pivot but the single pivot makes us more expressive and fluid. Something Lokonga always makes us limited in whenever he played this season.

Me too, I'm more worried about Newcastle than Tottenham. Also Man u too. But I'm not ruling out Tottenham cos we're playing them away and they'll be looking wounded entering into that match(rivalry tinz)

Assuming Arteta needs to add more width, who would he go for, Zinchenko or Tierney?

Assuming??
We're talking about what is happening and what have happened(analysis), and you're talking about assumption.

The main Koko ls that Tierney inverts into the midfield too whenever we play not holding width as it's believed or claimed. Also he hardly plays (or spam) crosses this season too

We should beat Tottenham at WHL. Nothing scary about them again. United na our regular customer.

He would go for any of the two. Tierney's speed and Zinchenko ability to play in Midfield is what's fueling your argument.
Zinchenko can still add width if the tactic demands such.
