Player Topic: Pablo Zabaleta (2015/16)

[Bilboblue]

Amazing eh? The much maligned Navas and Fernando having really good games, I bet that shut a few people up!

The equalizer. Watch it again and see how Zabs was decisive with his positioning and one twos with Merlin.

 

[Plain Speaking]

Zab got the highest player rating in the 0-0 draw between Argentina and Paraguay. Plenty of vital last ditch tackles. Otamendi also did well. Demi didn't play. A long haul back now for the lads.

Probably outta topic, but being covering Pink Floyd's Fearless and when to the end I cannot bear the idea of singing the idiot wailing of the candlewanks cult, so I'm fading it into the Pablo Zabaleta song that merges with we're not really here which fades out with and echoing come on City.

Sagna had played every minute of every game so a rest was always on the cards.
Newcastle at home was the perfect situation to introduce him back into the fold. Let's be clear on this, Zabba is the first choice when fit. As well as Sagna has done he doesn't fit our style of play in the way Zabba does. His movement going forward and the runs he makes to help out his winger are the best in the league.
Sure he was rusty in the early parts of the match but he grew into his role as the game went on.
I think at this point we should all be made up that we've got two great options to fill that position. There's a lot of football to be played between now and May.

So why did we keep five consecutive clean sheets when Bacary was our right-back at the start of the season?

I love Zaba as much as any City supporter, but to suggest Sagna doesn't suit our style of play is just ludicrous!

Sagna has been excellent and got through a shed load of work, particularly in the Gladbach game prior to Newcastle.

For me he's currently first choice and Zaba has to earn his spot back, which is refreshing to see.
