He might have played at a high level in the past but is not showing it now. Both of themdo the same thing most of the time: dribble yourself into a cul de sac, loose the ball, foul the opponent.
I would be surprised if he ever plays at this level again.
Lol.....what an absolute dumb post. On one hand you say him and Rogers are the same level, pin point them as doing the same stuff and then say Zaniolo will amount to not making it at this level again, yet Roger needs developing quickly as he's our player.
Zaniolo has played for Roma, Galatasaray and will most likely end up at somewhere decent back in Italy. So 100% he's still got a great career ahead of him. Far better as a footballer than yours as a poster on this forum ffs

He is not playing well though. He has not played well all season. Scoring one goal doesn't equal playing well.
Currently there's not much between him and Rogers, both are big downgrade from peak Ramsay.
Rogers has a future at this club, Zaniolo clearly doesn't (otherwise Emery would start him)
Peak Ramsey?! He hasn't been fit or anywhere near his peak all season so needs must unfortunately.
There is also a lot of difference between Rogers and Zaniolo, one has played at the highest level in Europe for several years, the other has played in the championship.
You also don't know if the club will trigger Zaniolo's option to buy, it's pure speculation on behalf of the fans that presume because he hasn't settled quickly and not starting Emery will just bin him off. Even if we do send him back he'll be still playing at the top level so he's obviously not as shit as some like to make out.

More nonsense.
Zaniolo is our player currently, and if he's playing well then should be playing. If we followed your thought process, Chambers would be in front of Lenglet ffs.
The other point is why do we need to develop Rogers quickly, why not just let him develop instead of putting undue pressure on him too.

The amount of grief he's had, on this forum alone lol. Instead of giving him props for doing well, pulling the game back, posters and so called fans still can't help themselves but look for any bullshit reason to have a pop at him. He's got every right to react however he feels, if people take offence, tough shit, grow a pair.
He was excellent yesterday and if people were actually willing to give him time to settle instead of the continual nonsense he gets we'd more than likely see performances like yesterday on a regular basis. But no, back to the bullshit. So many dickheads in our fanbase.

Not sure how anyone can claim Russia is a dictatorship when Putin won the election fair and square

Definitely should only be used as an LCB. I don't want to give him too much grief though because he's been decent imo. Poor today though, although the defence in general was.

Looks to have got his mojo back at just the right time. Excellent when he came on.

We will already had a whole season to judge him, he's not going to turn into a different player in pre-season.
I disagree.... He was playing in an unfamiliar position at the start of the season and since then has had nothing but scraps. He's not been great but how any players take time to settle anyway coming from abroad.

I definitely would like him to stay - there is a baller in there, I am confident in this.
He should be given the opportunity of a pre season imo and then judged.
I have faith - this is a test, he passes with flying colours.
Me too. We are definitely in the minority atm but I think he could become the player we need off Ollie at times. Needs to be calmer at times but I think he could settle given time and become a valuable asset to the squad. I really like him tbh. He's definitely a handful when he's on it.

I wasn't disappointed with the line up but it was obvious in the first half it wasn't working. Moreno and Rogers were being overrun and Duran could'nt get into the game at all. He switched it up and viola, a much better finish to the game, arguably the stronger of the 2 sides.
What I was happy about was the willingness to switch it up asap, ie HT rather than letting us get to the last 20 mins so at least Unai spotted the problems and sorted them quickly.
What he now needs to do though is sort the defence because at the moment it's seriously letting us down. For a team that looked fantastic playing the offside trap and being positionally organised we now look like a load of drunkards at the back. It's concerning now we're down to the business end of the season.

I think both he and Rogers still look like they need a bit more time on the ball than they're typically allowed, which leads to some poor decision making and at times ill discipline. For me it's therfore understandable that Rogers gets more starts though as he's younger and our player - even more so if we activate a compulsory purchase on Zaniolo after so many starts as reported, as I think we can do better.
That's not to say I wasn't delighted with his goal today, but I'm surprised at him getting so many MOTM votes in the post-match thread; I thought Diaby looked better personally from the subs.
Okay captain caveman

Man scores a goal and tells his own fans to shush like he does it every week lol
He was telling the WH fans. They were in the same end next to the Villa fans.

Deserves more minutes imo. I think the kid needs some love to get the best out of him, and I think he's got far more in his locker than we've seen up to now, but that will have given him a great boost today.
When you consider the time out through injuries(2 years) he's still a baby. I think it's easy to forget that.
Well done Nico!!

Phew..... I thought we finished with the team that should've started. Much better last 30 min. Zaniolo and Diaby imo deserve the plaudits. Both came on and made a huge difference and changed the flow. Matty Cash too. gave him pelters many times this season but thank the lord for that block.
The defence....WTF. Unai seriously needs to resolve our stupidity at the back. For a eam that looked so good early doors we've become a very sloppy team in defence.

Ohhh..... so now Zaniolo just won't play at the top level with us, not in general like your previous post. Zaniolo is 24 not late 20's, he's had 2 years already out the game due to injuries and still come back. He may never be the player he once was but he may also have his best years in front of him. Rogers may never get anywhere near that level but it's still okay to dismiss the loanee for no reason other than to criticise him.
You're okay, insulting and criticising others but can't take a little yourself. I get it!
