Pablo Zabaleta - 2016/17 performances

[Colin Bells Boots]

The man and always will be but got left for dead on the goal yesterday and we seriously need new full backs asap

An absolute legend at the club, whose legs have unfortunately gone.

Sure this position is being dealt with in the plan for next season.

Defensively he isn't as good as we need him to be anymore but when he came on we certainly looked better going forward..

But he is struggling defensively as people say....having said that Bravo should have done much better as well.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

He's getting caught out in virtually every game he plays now and it was the case when he started for Argentina against Brazil as well.

He was superb against Barca but I think those performances are becoming more rare. I was as happy as can be when he decided to stay another season but I think Sagna should be our first choice for most games and hopefully we can still find game time for Maffeo without it being forced through injury.

I thought he was doing the mannequin challenge when wickham went past him and bravo had no chance with that shot at that speed

Love Zabba but if Kolarov had got beaten as many times yesterday blue Ian would have gone in to meltdown

 

[BigOscar]

Love Zabba but he's now the worst of our 4 fullbacks, which is saying something. He's a liability now at the back and really doesn't offer much going forwards either. Sad to see, but he's done. Sagna can at least do a job defensively, even if he offers a Clichy-esque amount going forwards, but we can't rely on Zab for anything anymore

What a bunch of wankers

Fair enough but going off MOTD , Kolarov was beaten a number of times and looked every bit as slow as Zabba.

Sadly suffering from DoB disease

You be telling us Shearer is a decent pundit next

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Fair enough but going off MOTD , Kolarov was beaten a number of times and looked every bit as slow as Zabba.

He was just as bad. It's a problem for us. Sagna the only one who can still
Defend properly and he is getting on. Maffeo did well in the Derby andaybe worth a place on the bench at least.

There is life in the old dog yet

 

[domalino]

Fernandinho replacement for the weekend?

 

[Alex B]

The Zabman goes on, was class in there.

 

[Neville Kneville]

This could have been done during the last two seasons at times when we were falling apart in midfield.

Well done Zabba.

 

[Clercqs]

There are not many more things in life that gets you as happy as seeing Zaba playing this good these days. He was excellent and I rather see him in CM than at RB in the future.

 

[shemnel]

for me i dont think he has the legs, the pace or the stamina to hack what Fernandinho does in a league game but last night showed Zaba still has a streak of quality running through him.

 

[r.soleofsalford]

He had a great game last night, one of my all time favourite City players
