Is Zabaleta the weak link?

[antspider]

No

Was given the joint highest player rating in the men.
Tireless contribution.
That's how I seen it too,and I should imagine the rest of the press will follow suit.

Sometimes it's hard to remember why you come on this forum when you see threads like this. I despair I truly do.

The problem with Zab is that Bobby trusts him and now that we're champions certain people are looking for another angle to usurp the manager on here.

True, he never scores in important matches and never had a shot hit the bar today.

Oh wait....

Yes, he's a hugely prolific goal scorer and creator of chances. Always beating the fullback and getting to the line is our zab. Those pacy pullBacks and whipped in crosses are the scourge of defences across the land.

You mean like Micah does, when fit that is give your head a wobble wasnt that long ago you was telling us ireland was the messiah.

if the best you can do to debate a point is 'give your head a wobble' then we are on different planets mate.

Correct.
And the same bitter people.

Zab is short of pace and offers nothing going forward.

Never scores in important matches like against QPR get your coat

Against Southampton the problem wasn't Zaba getting sucked into the centre but Nasri. I was at the game and every time Soton attacked there were 2 players on their left hand side and Zaba can't mark 2 people! He had to stick to one and Nasri was the one who kept closing down people he didn't have to. Zabaleta is a very good right back and is better defensively than Maicon. He may be a weak link attacking wise, compared to Richards and Maicon, but certainly not defensively.

Hahaha trusts him so much he bought another right back ;-)
