Martin Zubimendi

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.

JazzG

A longer highlight reel

Gurgen

I thought he was the best deep playmaker after Rodri but he may just be better than Rodri.

lorddulaarsenal

To be fair Rodri is immense but I think injuries may have taken their toll on him. He’s also more reserved in his passing

JazzG

This is just the start, as he gets more in tune with the players and likewise for them he is gonna transform us, looks like he already has.

Keeping receipts on some of these “pundits”

Klaus

flobaba Love that they use "Jorginho of five years ago" as a way of saying he's not really elite. Jorginho was the heart of the midfield in the teams that won the Euros and Champions League that season and finished third for the ballon d'Or 😂

Steve Nicol has to be the thickest fucking pundit of all time. He even lowers the IQ in a room that has got Robson sitting in it. He's exactly what he looks like: your average scouser someone has poured a pint in and squeezed in front of a camera for an hour as he muses about stuff no one can quite figure out, because what comes out of his mouth aren't coherent sentences:

"Zubimendi... I mean eff ye would put a peckture oop of this guy, cus I wuud, I was trying to remembah what 'e looked like? You know, 'e's not, to me, I've seen de guy when things are going well. When dey've got plenny of posséschon, he's on the ball, ann, ann he's facility, ann he's destrebjutin here, ann he's meken little passes and cutting things oot... I don remember 'im doin anythin' when he's team's been oop against' tha??"

Jesus wept. Revoke this man's driving licence before he kills someone.

Klaus destrebjutin

fuck sake man. lol

espn is the last bastion of scoundrels when it comes to Scottish pundits. Nichols and burley, oh my days.

as for the jorginho of 5 years ago comments, that a doubly shitty take. one, 2020 jorginho was class, so its not even an insult. two, zubimendi is a different player anyway.

flobaba

Klaus they actually get paid money to do this

Qwiss

Klaus if Liverpool had signed him he'd be saying Zubi was brilliant and going to raise the level of Liverpools midfield. He'd have been right then though. If they'd signed Zubi it'd have been worse than if they sign Isak. He's better than everyone of their midfielders (as are Rice and Ode).

Kel Varnsen

I am confident we have the best midfield trio in the world now.

banduan

Kel Varnsen am confident we have the best midfield trio in the world now.

When Ode is firing again yes, we would be. It's an unreal midfield trio.

flobaba

Kel Varnsen Odegaard feels like the weakest link in midfield these days, and that's crazy.

Klaus

Qwiss if Liverpool had signed him he'd be saying Zubi was brilliant and going to raise the level of Liverpools midfield.

Apparently that's exactly what he did last summer when he thought Zubi was going to Liverpool. Whole thing just comes across as sour grapes from a fermented mind.

JazzG

flobaba I think Ødegaard just needs to get used to playing higher up and he’ll hopefully return back to his best. He doesn’t have the legs to carry the ball from the deep so needs to remain higher up the pitch

RocktheCasbah

Klaus the pain of 1989 lingers long.

DiabyKungFu

For what it's worth, he looked a lot worse against the team that annihilated Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League than he looked against Athletic Bilbao.

JazzG

Did look a bit off against Man utd but then again the whole team did.

MistaT

JazzG — I’m going to assume Rice had it too as he needs an excuse for that performance.

JazzG

MistaT Rice got taken off which I was shocked about, must have been carrying a small knock or fitness issues.
