Pickford did the «I’ll hide behind my wall» and hope they sky it. Terrible goalkeeping. On the shot from Ugarte he fell like a sack of potatoes. Good for us

Donkey of a former manager who only bought players from his old clubs or personal connection
It's absolutely baffling. Baffling in the sense that just about every armchair expert can sort of see it, but these supposed top level execs who are paid small fortunes for their "expertise" apparently can't.
Serie A is not what it once was.
One is the supporting cast. Lewis Ferguson was really good as a player starting in midfield and getting into the box to support him and scoring some goals. He was like McTominay but with better general play.
Another is he had confidence from scoring some goals. Which you would imagine he'd have here after scoring goals, but we havent seen that yet
He still has massive room for improvement but it looks like an upward trajectory for him.
I don’t think he’s a bad player, but no serious Premier League club plays a guy with the intensity/pace he plays at. Like he’s shown in the past he’ll excel in Serie A
I found some redeeming qualities in his 4/10 performance tonight. Especially with another 1/10 from Hojlund.
He can control a ball, can keep it under pressure. He got into positions and had a few chances to cross or shoot.
I believe there is something to work with in this case.

He actually has very good technique. Too bad he has no end product.
I thought he was ok certainly improving but his lack of pace makes him a player Amorim
Would never have signed

Some decent touches but his passing in the final third is poor.
Was unable to keep the ball and lost it the most and had the same pass accuracy as a 17 year old, joint worst in the team
0 key passes and 0 shots on target from his 2 attempts were his end product. He made Antony's performances look decent
You have some weird logic
"Can’t make a 5 yard pass at all (67% accuracy today)" - that's 2/3rd of passes that were accurate, so not none at all
In a Pep or Arteta side he'd have racked up tons of assists and a couple of goals. Great vision although sometimes lacking in the execution. He'll have suitors in the summer for around the price we paid for him.
He reminds me a lot of Giggs in the attacking midfield role which spawned the whole sack Fergie sell Giggs meme.

He was terrible, plays on the back of some nutmegs thinking he is Ronaldinho. Criminal that he stayed for so long.
Did you watch the game? I reckon a lot of those successful passes were great mid to long through balls, and simple 1 yard lay offs.
He can’t make a 5 yard pass.
They probably were, maybe you didn't word it right because it reads can't make a 5 yard pass at all followed by 67% accuracy rate
I don’t mind giving Zirkzee a bit more time. It’s been a rough season all round, he is young, first season in a new country etc.
Clearly the performances haven’t been good enough, but the entire team has been a shambles. If you have a player whose strengths are clearly in linking up with others, then they are always going to struggle in a dysfunctional team. Conversely a more selfish player like Garnacho is more insulated from he shit because he just tries to do it all himself regardless.
Would love to see what Zirkzee is actually capable of in a well oiled attacking unit.

Messed up too many passes late on when the game was there for the taking.
In a normal season though we'd be easing him in as the take a chance sort of signing he was, so hopefully we'll get to see what he can do with a bit more time and a more stable squad, as there's clearly a decent player in there.
