Joshua Zirkzee | Match Discussion Thread 2024/25

Really starting to show what’s he’s all about now. Clearly got fantastic ability but starting to piece together all around good performances now.
 
Yeah, he’s play with greater confidence. He looks fitter and his reactions are quicker compared to earlier in the season. The difference not having a proper pre season can make.
 
Improved of late let’s how he performs in the fixtures coming up, definitely looking better.
 
I'd like to see how he does against the better opponents we've got coming up.

I think he's got a grip on the pace of the league now but he needs to start adding the finishing touches which are the goals and assists.

He still needs to show me he's a champions league player not a europa league player.
 
After reading the whole thread through again, it's great to see how it's slowly turning in his favour.

Needs more goals, but his general play has definitely improved quite a bit.

Upcoming games will answer more questions...
 
I said a while ago that I didn't know what his position was meant to be. I've now really warmed to him playing a bit deeper. Only one issue!!! Why does such a big guy Go down so easily. Surely he doesn't need to do it?
 
Tough game but honestly in 70 minutes I can’t remember a single thing he did in the attacking third.

What is this guy actually for? I can’t work it out
 
I like Zirkzee, he’s got a bit of fight in him. He’s been more than decent in the second half of the season.
 
He`s looked much better recently, needs to keep it up and obviously the better option to Hojlund.
 
Still looks miles off the standard we need to get back into title contenders.

He’s a Europa league level player in the premier league he has got to learn to play a lot quicker.

2nd half of the season I think he’s looked a little bit leaner and quicker. First half of the season to me he looked a bit heavy and like he was towing a caravan. Now he looks he can actually get away from defenders once he’s sold them a dummy.
 
I actually think he’s a very good footballer but he’s not a number 9 and he’s probably not a number 10 either. He’s probably somewhere in between and I do think he’s better in the left number 10 role.

He definitely looks a lot leaner though and has improved from the start of the season. I would bet he outlasts Hojlund here.

What do people make of his celebrations?Obviously only a celebration and I don’t mind it but it was getting a little bit of heat on the socials for being a bit cringe!
 
That is part of the issue where do you put him to get something from him? For me he has to learn to play as a number 9

Wasn’t cringe when Ruud or Batistuta used to do it.

I don’t mind it but if he wants to make it a thing we need to see more of it.
 
You score. You can celebrate how you want barring in being offensive. Couldn't care what they do.

It's an in the moment expression of emotion.
 
Big blow if that injury keeps him out for a while. He does look good in the EL and wasn’t half bad in that first half.
