Player thread: Pablo Zabaleta (2014/15)

Re: Pablo Zabaleta Appreciation Thread

Legend.

In hindsight it's amazing that he held up so well. Only spent a week or two injured and had to play every game he was able. Micah's injuries put tremendous pressure on him. He was heroic till the last minute.
 
Re: Pablo Zabaleta Appreciation Thread

Fantastic player and truly has blue blood flowing through his veins.

I also loved his post match interview with Kun! I don't think the two of them will be sighted for about a week after their 7 bottles of champers.

Congrats Zab. You are indeed a City legend.

Bleeds blue.
Would play on with a thousand arrows fired at him.
Never gives in.
Maturing, hardly ever hot headed.
Gentleman.
Passionate.
Believer.
A leader.
Grafts all day.
Wants to win.
Determined.
Under-rated by the media.
Potential World Cup Winner (36 caps).
Cult hero/fan's favourite.
Honourary Manc.
Plaudits galore.
Held off challenge after challenge and dislodged Micah, probably, for good.
Strong.
Olympic Gold Medal winner.
Champion.
£6.45 million bargain.
Most of all, he has worked for his status.
A fine example to young players.
Zabaleta's goal in the 3–2 win over Queens Park Rangers is a lesser celebrated beautiful moment.

In my all time favourite players, Pablo is number 1 by a country mile.
For me he is first name on the teamsheet.


Christel Castaño isn't bad.
 
Re: Pablo Zabaleta Appreciation Thread

He was a full back of uncertain pedigree in a team of expensive signings.

That he's been so many people' s favourite says everything you need to know.
 
Re: Pablo Zabaleta Appreciation Thread

Hate to piss on the bonfire but Pablo n family have a Thatcher fridge magnet.
 
Re: Pablo Zabaleta Appreciation Thread

Just been watching the interviews after the match the one where zab is singing to the quo.the crowd then stars to sing and you can see his missus in the background taking pictures singing pablo zabaleta he is the fucking man.quality.
 
Re: Pablo Zabaleta Appreciation Thread

I want him and Kompany to stay at City long after their playing careers are over.
 
Re: Pablo Zabaleta Appreciation Thread

Like many of players, severely underrated by the media and other clubs fans.
He is without any doubt THE best right back in the league bar none!
