Garth Crooks stat on Pablo Zabaleta

[Marvin]

Crooks picks Zab as his right back in his team of the week and adds.

I thought that was quite interesting.

Did you know? Since 2010, Man City have conceded 0.66 goals per game when he starts compared to 0.98 when he doesn't.

I wonder whether any other City player has such an impact on the team's performance. We've all got our idea on who City's key players are. I would not have put Zabaleta in that category, and I prefer Richards, and Maicon at right back for their extra ability in the final third.

And some thought he was our weak link
The mind boggles.

I think Zab is pretty damned good in the final third...

Love the guy, and I actually think he is still improving.

Thought he was great yesterday and always been a fan

Definitely MoM on Sunday and on most occasions he's played in recent weeks. He suffers from being multi-talented and able to fill in, at LB or in midfield. Works his bollocks entirely off, plays hard but bears no grudges at the final whistle. If I were in Micah's shoes I'd be focussing on whether I couldn't start to play as right-sided MF.

In his first season and a half he was a liability. Everyone knew he had it in him he just needed to calm down

Even Mr Neville was drooling over him yesterday and complimented him on being one of the best full backs.

I think he is a terrific defender however I would like to know how many goals we score when he plays and when he doesnt.

QUE ??? He is a defender first and foremost,so I can`t understand your post and what relevance that would have.
