Is Zabaleta the weak link?

[citizens_1976]

I really really really don't know what some people are watching at times. I don't know whether they've watched the same game as me, but Zabba was very good again! Best right back in the league. Every player makes a mistake in a game, it's impossible not to!

I think its a bit much to pick on Zaba here, the whole defensive set up of the team of late has been rusty and I think game practice will help us get back into the swing of things. All of Zab, Kompany, Lescott and Kolarov at times looked off today, a lot of attacks came down the right too, towards Kolarov so no need to pick up only on Zabaleta.

Kolarov dealt with them tho!

By continually doing professional fouls, I wasn't impressed by that really as I expected he'd actually tackle SWP, albeit he is quicker than Kolarov even at his age. Zabaleta dealt with some of his stuff as well, others they got a cross in or passed it along the line, as was the same with Kolarov for me. Similar play.

He does'nt get enough cover from midfield especially when Silva plays.

in one.

Used to worry about his rashness. He has however improved season after season. I've no worries at all with him now. He's brilliant. And I think he's forever blue now.

ฺBelieve it or not Zabaleta is actually the best defender of Argentina national team.

He's been getting steadily better for the last few years.
