He lacks the calmness and composure when the pressure is on. Trying to force passes when they're not on..it's all mental for him. No wonder people didn't trust him in midfield dispute his technical excellence.

We've outgrown him in this team and I don't like how much he ball hogs and slows our play down.
He's also such a defensive calamity. He tried to play offside last night by running away from his own goal and got done by their wide player.I can't believe how useless he's become in possession, constantly either making the wrong pass or misplacing easy passes.
He used to be seen as an extra playmaker now he's just like a spare body but you don't really want him on the ball too much.
Yeah this bothered me a lot today.
In the past it seemed like he was doing it to calm us down and dictate tempo but now it’s become clear to me it’s nothing to do with tempo he’s just a ball hogger. The difference is that last year we would generally progress faster and more central than this year, so when Zinny took his time you thought, ah maybe he’s helping us reset.
But he’s doing the same thing this year when our playing style is different and the obvious conclusion is he likes to pad his stats. Also now we’ve had more time to appreciate what an actual elite tempo master looks like in Jorginho.
Add in the carelessness in possession and it’s just pushed me over the edge.
A word of warning here for stat merchants: what dispossession stats don’t tell you is how much (or how little) pressure the player was under when they lost possession. And this is why he is so infuriating - he loses the ball for no fking reason whatsoever sometimes. It’s all in his head. When he’s actually under pressure he rarely loses it because he is switched on and has good technique. But give him enough rope and he will hang himself.
I don’t have time for players like that. 90 minutes is not that long a time to focus fs.
He made one huge error which could have led to a goal. No matter what game expect atleast 1 error with him. He makes us play worse as well coming inside and make everything crowded
Wanted to see if he doubled down on it and found this insteadHe still supporting Israel?
He is doing that in new boots, having followed in the footsteps of a former North London rival in Harry Kane by signing with Skechers. Previously with Puma, Zinchenko’s interest was piqued by the England captain’s switch, which coincided with his transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich last summer. “When big players like him are wearing something (new), you’re going to pay attention and it’s a big influence for the rest,” he explains.
