Martin Zubimendi

USArsenal

GooneriC He's going to have to get up to speed real quick. Newcastle showing him how much time he will have on the ball in the PL

I dont think it will take him long to adapt. Its actually good that he sees Prem pressure in preseason.

Qwiss

Kel Varnsen if Odegaard gets back to his form from the 2 seasons before last season it's right up there.

Sicario2

Zubi seems like a great passer but is anyone concerned about his lack of ball winning skills? Seems a bit light in that aspect, not sure if opponents will see that as a major weakensss for us. Newcastle first goal prime example of that

Coombs

Sicario2 he's one of the best ball winners and tacklers on earth

est

I haven't see anything in the 1,5 games so far that makes me even a bit worried about him. Looks just the ticket for us.

Gazza M

est me neither. he's playing one of the most complex roles in the side. I've seen enough green shoots to be feel he'll be fine next to dec and ode

Pepe LeFrits

Looks like a 26 year old Jorginho

Tactics

Pepe LeFrits Yep

Think he'll divide opinion (just like Jorginho did) after the initial excitement but coaches will love him!

Mirth

If we weren’t a team of man mountains then it could be an issue but overall we should be able to more than match teams physically

JazzG

Look at that pass at 02:10, didn't quite get it right but exactly what we miss.

Gazza M

this guy is top class, and will prove to be the real coup of the transfer window

I notice an interesting dynamic where him and rice alternated who was positioned ahead of the other. having 2 midfielders that can switch from 6 to 8 as the game requires is a huge plus. throw eze in on the left and unleash all 3 in a rotational whirlwind

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Gazza M class act, but look at that lovely pass to Rice at around 50 seconds. The latter didn't know what to do with that quick pass to his feet inside the box. He's just not a natural high up.

New favourite player. He’s just so damned intelligent and elegant in the way he plays. He is extremely press resistant, sets the tempo always making the correct decision in scenarios he faces. Has that trait where his passes influence the actions on the receiver, prompting them to do what’s best. Biggest multiplier we’ve had since Ozil

JazzG

Will massively improve us, game intelligence but also management, knowing when to slow the game down and when to pick up the pace. Making the right pass not the one that might look the most pleasing on the eye.

Doc

Love it, always looking to play quickly and centrally when possible, really smart player

Burnwinter

Zubimendi has been looking good in preseason. He uses the ball quickly and precisely, and looks for one-two combinations when he gets forward in a way we've infrequently seen from our 6. Quite like the idea of Zubimendi as our 6 when transitioning to attack and Rice as our 6 when there's a turnover.

Gurgen

Amazing what a real footballer can do

lorddulaarsenal

He’s almost unreal. I shit you not when I say he’s one of the best midfielders I’ve ever seen

lorddulaarsenal

He’s disgustingly good.

Reads the play so well. Sees and reacts to what the opponents are doing, can therefore intercept and defend to a high standard, be press resistant whilst being two footed enables him to work the ball well in any given scenario.

I can’t believe he’s ours.

JazzG

Been saying it for ages, this guy will be one the best signings of the summer. I missed the match but Twitter is going mental over how good his performance was.
