Pablo Zabaleta - 2016/17 performances

[oakiecokie]

Zab rolled back the clock tonight. Fucking immense.

He certainly did BB especially against a great talent he was up against.Just got the feeling that Zabman scared the fuck out of Neymar.

 

[cleavers]

Great tonight, Neymar on his side did little of note.

 

[big phil]

And to all those who wrote the great man off.... you really should have known better!

 

[Keith Moon]

Oh, how I love him.

 

[01cravend]

He's Rocky Balboa

Will take my medicine on this one. Genuinely have thought Zaba is finished for a while. But last night he was unbelievable.

People writing him off didn't really bother me. It's clear he isn't the player he was a few years ago, although it's heartening to see he still has that level in him. What pissed me off was the people who disrespected him. I've no problem with people saying he can't hack it on a consistent basis anymore, because it's true. The wankers slagging him off however can go and fuck themselves.

Well said, mate.

Yep me too, he was incredible last night. Even produced some of his classic lung-busting runs inbehind their full-back, and would have been in if Sterling didn't take De Bruyne's pass off him.

 

[Harvster]

What a bluddy hero

 

[worsleyweb]

Great to see - lets enjoy the last months of zabba.

 

[stonerblue]

his days as a regular first team player are well and truly behind him. really dont think we should be playing him anymore, save himself from the embarrassment

It's fucking shit posts like this that get right on my tits.
Zabaletas performance last night will hopefully shut you, and every other poster who's written him off, up. His contribution to the game was something that no amount of coaching can teach. He was a leader, warrior and captain of men. A living City legend.

 

[IanBishopsHaircut]

The warrior of old came back last night...Love this man...will be talking to my grandkids (If I have them) about this fella

 

[Jack74]

His reaction after the final whistle said it all, fuckin love Zabba

 

[Hungarian blue]

Never thought I could love him even more before yesterday, but fuck me...

 

[supercity88]

So in love with this man. Absolute hero and one of the true legends of our club since our rise to the top. The fact he is still here now and can still hack it on big nights like last night is a true testament to the character, attitude and ability of Zabba. Passion.

 

[jollylescott]

Zab the warrior, Zab the fighter! It's hard to think of a player with a greater heart than this guy.

Tremendous performance. Please find him a role at the club after he retires. I don't ever want him to leave!

 

[whos_kompany85]

Said when the lineups were released this wasn't the game for him, absolutely thrilled to be wrong. We'll done zaba you are an absolute hero!

 

[Chi-town blues]

Missed zaba's song.

 

[fergal_oc]

Really feared my Zab was done this year but last night he once again showed he's not just a fantastic rb, he is City!

I love Sergio, Dave, Vinny and *cough Yaya for what they've brought to our club but Pabs will always be my favourite.

 

[Patientman63]

I'm one of those who has said his best days are behind him, and to a greater extent i still believe that, but credit where credits due, it was Zabba of old yesterday, which is a wonderful thing to behold!
