Needs that aggression though too. When our back’s been up against it he’s been left wanting.

Contrary to belief I’d prefer Zirkzee to stay. We know he has goals in him & he does a great job coming off the bench when he hasn’t had time to play. If we want to be an elite club again we need good players as back up.

Might be reading too much into the short cameo but felt he looked a bit lighter on his feet. The two touches here were very nice, and felt he had a bright showing overall.
Happy for him. Seems like a great lad to have around the squad, and has his moments. Would love to see him have some more chances and have an impact.

There’s a player in there, but he needs game time. I think he’s been unfairly treated in his stint, but having said that, he does need to be sharper, especially as he’s only playing for 10ish minutes

Always thought there’s a player in there. I will never forget some of his performances last season. He wasn’t prolific with goals/assists but man was he a joy to watch. He has this ability to just glide through players even with his size.
For a man his size he really can’t hit a ball very well though.
Anyways, I really really hope he can figure it out. I actually sell him this summer, especially if we’ll be in Europe next year.

There’s a player there somewhere. Just not sure it can be brought out in the physicality of the Premier League.

He was not on long, but I thought he looked very, very sharp

I think he’d do well to transition to the midfield. Something like Vidal and still have the opportunity to have a shot at the goal

There’s a player in there but maybe not for the premiere league , I think he would be good in La Liga

He’s just in the wrong league. He has natural footballing talent, ability, whatever you want to call it. If you park him in the league 10-15 years ago he’d look great but he just lacks the aggression needed.
I look forward to his beach football career post retirement

He’s an odd profile, sort of a 10 that can dribble and pass well but doesn’t shoot well but has shown he can head the ball… not like he’s going to take Bruno’s spot so perhaps he could be a false 9 in some situation but if we’re winning we don’t really need that? Only if we’re losing would it make sense and we’ve been playing well so oddly unfortunate for him
Laluci on
He has an insane first touch and he’s very silky on the ball. Unfortunately he can be inconsistent and not aggressive enough… Sometimes he kind of just walks around the field too.

Zirk has this in his locker. He is also slower than most PL players and lacks physicality for his size. When there is space and runners, he can be a menace. This is why he can perform in other leagues. The PL doesn’t present enough game time with that kind of space for a player like Zirk to offer consistent value.

He needs to stay. There is absolutely a player in there who has some quality hold up play, is creative, and can benefit from minutes. We are currently in a UCL spot, and if we want fresh legs to play more than 40 matches across all competitions next year you need guys like Big Z to play some serious game time, rotate legs, and god forbid should someone get injured. With another year of development for Chido, we’ve got a pretty strong forward group, any money spent this summer needs to be midfield and backs

He’s been unlucky this season with some of his chances he’s gotten. Seems like a lot of shots get blocked

He’ll glow up at napoli

you did cut out the atrocious pass that followed the exquisite firsttouch though…

Carefully cropping Dalot wasting it and giving over possession after. Christ he had a mare

I think he’ll shine in a less physical league.

If we have a deep run in the league cup, fa cup and the CL or EL, I think Zirkezee would be getting a lot more minutes. Alas, if we could just wait 1 more season. 25/26 has been a really strange one in terms of number of games.
Ok-Information-6672 on
Very nice. Shame he’s got a foot like an empty crisp packet in front of goal. Seems like a really nice lad though, so I hope he does well wherever he ends up next – assuming he leaves. That said, with more games next year and lots of signings to make already, he could stay I suppose.
balemeout on
He’s got great skill but I just don’t think he has the physical gifts to put it to use, not fast enough to put his dribbling to use and not a great passer or finisher

His kicking technique is shocking for a forward.

He really is a baller but sesko and mbuemo are just….better

I really like the guy and love his style of play. Hope he stays on help challenge in 4 fronts next year. I believe in him. Joy to watch

Yes two lovely touches with avsolutely zero end product, his shots were shockingly bad and easily blocked and

A man united player makes this pass and puts Amad in… Hes not to the standard, time to move on…
He’s good in open play like that, he can setup play as well. IDK why we keep wanting him to be a striker when he’s better in a deeper role.
