He frowns. Seems lost in thought, and I wonder if he’s recapturing that glorious moment. It turns out he’s thinking about something else entirely. “Don’t you think it’s bizarre, sitting on a horse? Do you think in the future we’ll say, ‘We used to sit on horses, how bizarre?’ because nowadays you see people riding elephants and everyone goes, ‘What the fuck are they doing?’ So even though I don’t have a huge problem with it, I do wonder. You wouldn’t sit on a dog, would you? I know they’re smaller, but I wonder what the horse thinks. ‘Oh fuck, he’s on my back again’? People say, ‘Oh they love it. They carry on when people are not on them.’ And I think, ‘They like running around!’ I like running around. But I don’t want to piggyback Gazza all over the pitch.”
While defending, you’re probably right. He shits himself because he knows he can’t run. But on the ball, he is unbelievable and really helps Arsenal exert control.
If Ireland had a Zinchenko in midfield, we’d qualify.
Hopefully he’s not let near it. An ordinary enough CV apart from finishing 6th with Brighton. A good manager not a great manager. Similar to Marco Silva.
