Pablo Zabaleta

[stonerblue]

From a City point of view I love this guy. He grafts, doesn't roll around when not hurt and is now pretty disciplined i.e. not too many unnecessary bookings. He also loves and clearly gets the club.

From a wider footballing perspective every great team needs a 'Pab Zab' who gets on with the job and can slot into a number of positions.

City legend in the making for me.

Fully agree with this. Another great performance yesterday from MadPab

Got to agree with all the comments another great performance and surely at start of the season fans wouldn't expect pab to have played so many games for us this season with the signings of boateng and kolarov. Credit to pab and his attitude. I know us as fans are long suffering and desperate to win a trophy but some of our players I think should be rewarded with a medal for their performances this season. Pab is definitely one of them! Come on city!!!

i always thought he was just solid, but there seems so much more to his game. If other players improve into their 2nd and 3rd seasons at the rate Zab, NDJ and Komps have, there is reason to be very excited. An even better Silva, Toure! - big room for improvement with Balo and Dzeko, Kolarov

It just proves it's not easy to settle in and constantly changing manager wont help either

Let's hope he is fit. He is the best right and left back at the club as well as a decent defensive midfielder.

If his enthusiasm and commitment to the team were to rub off on one or two others we could win prem league next season.

From the BBC team of the week:

Did you know? Zabaleta made a weekend-high 10 interceptions.

 

[Fat Chance]

I was glad to see him back the other week in the semi, at one point a dangerous ball come across the box with Zab thighing it out of play and then immediately having a little scream around the box at no one in particular. Charlton always mentions Stiles knowing exactly when to shout the g-up and there was Zab doing it with his old fella in a coma....did Zab, Kompany and Hart really cost us 13.5 mill....'kin nicked 'em.

 

[Corky]

HE is well up for playing for his final place with Richards about to come back.

Both deserve to play, and I have a suspicion they might.

thank fook for that!
