Player thread: Pablo Zabaleta (2014/15)

Re: Pablo Zabaleta Appreciation Thread

But whatsisname had his hands round Zab's throat.

Refs will never revisit and red card Costa for it...

Costa will get sent off this season with the way he flares up and looses his cool so quickly...

However, loved the fact Vinny and Mangala bullied a bully down ...

Anyone know if all the yellow cards Zaba got get expunged to 0 since he is now banned for 1 game ?

No but I don't think he will serve a further ban for yellows until his tenth.

Yea I think Zaba has 4 yellow cards now this season... which is why I wonder if his Yellow card count is set to 0 since he has got 2 yellow and ssent off?

The modern footballs answer to Mike Doyle

Yes, but Mike Doyle played at a time when bookings and sendings off were rare compared to now.

City seem to be getting too many cards these days and I'd prefer to see them play football to beat the opposition rather than throwing their weight about too much.

Silly tackle for the sent booking but Costa should have walked as well! Its starting to look like Sagna will be getting a fair share of game time.

Absolutely love the guy but he was stupid for diving in when he was on a yellow and Dean was handing cards out for fun.

Unfortunately Zabba raised his hands first,but the booking was for the tackle and I assume Costa`s for the slight melee.

Re: Pablo Zabaleta Appreciation Thread

I think its fair to say that zab has his moments but hey ho, he's a world class player that absolutley loves playing for us which is all that matters.

With Sagna coming in though, you can only think that he's gonna have to push for his place an awful lot more than last season.

Can't agree with that. When Zabba raised his hands it was his palms on the chest of Costa to calm him down. Nothing aggressive in his movements, purely defensive. Costa lashed out with a leg and an arm and then grabbed him by the throat.
Costa should have walked, straight red no question.
