Pablo Zabaleta - 2016/17 performances

He wasn't alone but he was certainly at fault on the first goal: he did not come and engage Rose; gave him far too much time and space to cross the ball.
Lets face Zabba is reaching the arse end of a distinguished career for us where at times he has been superb. I think Pep now is begining to see this for himself and he needs to look closely at whether we need to start looking at fast tracking some of the youngsters. Its gonna be a long hard season especially for those full backs who have to get through a lot of work.
 
Bellerin
Clyne
Walker
Coleman

1 of the above is what we need.

We are Bellerin, Rose & Kroos away from being the best in England for a good few years...
 
Sagna should have started the last 2 games SIMPLE.

Zaba is my hero but he should only be used to give Sagna a rest.

Clichy should also be 1st
Choice imo.

Sagna. Stones Otamendi Clichy

Got to agree with you, however I still have reservations about Otamendi and his diving in. How got lucky yesterday, that yellow he got for diving in, off his feet yet again should have been his 2d yellow, he got away with that handball.
 
Still dont understand why we didnt have fullback at the top of our shopping list this summer....Love Zab but it was clear even before the season that he(and Kolarov) are not the answers to what Pep needs at the position. Understand we cant do everything in one summer but you could argue that a long term answer at fullback was the biggest need entering the transfer window....
 
It's sad to see the great man struggle as badly as he is. Son Heung-min gave him a bath out there.

Fullbacks have got to be our number one priority in the next 2 windows.
