Pablo Zabaleta ?

[Billy City]

I for one when i heard he was playing last night was pleased to see him in the starting 11 again, i hate knocking City players but Richards seems all over the place at the moment maybe the kick up the arse he needs, the question i want to ask blues who saw the game last night was did Zab look a lot better at RB ? i know we played a weaker Fulham side but was Zab staying back not like micah who runs further then swp at times and doesn't track back. Going by the commentary they said he put some good crosses over im hope he stays in the side v West Ham we always seem more stronger down the right when he plays.

He played well, tracked back at pace, not like MR on a sunday jog.

 

[The Northern Baptist]

Put it this way, he didn't exactly set the world alight and cement the RB spot for himself.

 

[Failsworth_Blue]

I thought he was ok defensively although he didn't have a lot to do but his passing was terrible

 

[Balti]

I thought he had a good game. Up there with DJ and Bellers for commiment to the cause. A useful asset in attack as well.

I'd start him over Micah every time.

 

[shortagain]

He did OK, just has a tendancy to dive in, but was usually in the right place, unlike Mr Richards who seemed to have forgotton what position he was playing on Sunday

 

[MCFC-alan88]

I think purely for the fact that he can cross a ball he should be ahead of Micah.

He was okay, it seemed like he was trying to hard, head down running into danger rather than picking the simple pass, but other than that he was alright. He wasn't really tested though, but is a lot more committed than Richards, still busting a gut to get up and down the pitch till the last minute

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Didn't play very well but he's capable of much better than that. Got to give him a bit of a run in the team really

 

[manchester blue]

Looked rusty and short of a yard, but they all looked weary. Got in some good positions. Richards needed dropping, shame Neddy is injured.
