Pablo Zabaleta - 2016/17 performances

[ojeme]

Is that any good?

I'm absolutely touched by that picture....

Pep Guardiola on Pablo Zabaleta: "He's our captain, he's a legend of this club and he's proving his character."

His legs may not carry him quite as fast as yesteryear, but my god his heart has grown in size to compensate. A man who will fight to the death. As Pep said, a living legend!

Suspected ligament damage :/

 

[quiet_riot]

Noooooooo

 

[kaz7]

Fuck sake,he was doing so well

 

[domalino]

I really hope this wasn't his last game for us.

poor zaba.
a warrior and true legend.

Think he's been struggling with on and off knee ligament issues last few years? A club legend but his legs are going now. At his best was arguably the best full back in the PL.

 

[MarsLlama]

The injury wasn't as long as we feared it seems. Will be back soon, but nonetheless this will likely be his last season playing with us.

The injury wasn't as long as we feared it seems. Will be back soon, but nonetheless this will likely be his last season playing with us.

It's sad when a true club hero reaches the end of their time due to the dreaded DOB disease.

 

[CityFan94]

Too slow and no longer good enough.

 

[Bluewonder]

A liability nowadays

 

[RandomJ]

It's sad but he doesn't have the legs anymore.

 

[kaz7]

He doesn't need legs to stop crosses going in,he has not been doing it lately,i adore him but i think this season will be his last here

 

[abu13]

Sad to say but he is only going in one direction from here, no longer good enough for where we want to be.

 

[BlueTG]

There was one occasions where Liverpool pumped a ball over his head to Lallana (not renowned for his pace in particular) and he was scampering back to catch up as if he were running in quicksand.

It was like watching an old dog who's had his day try and play again.

 

[01cravend]

Think he knows his pace has gone...Backed off Lallana allowing him to cross it in, when the Zab of old would of got tight and tried to take the ball, instead of worrying that he might get taken on.

Have we unearthed a dependable stand-by holding midfielder tonight? I don't remember him putting a foot wrong, albeit against a poor West Ham side. Not sure he's got the legs to play at RB anymore, but he was very good tonight.
