The improvement in Zabaleta

[stonerblue]

I haven't noticed an improvement. He's always been great.

I've said it before and still think MadPab is one ofour most important players. He can cover any position across the back and in the middle, which for a manager is priceless.
Where was Cole?

Very close to MOTM last night.

He has improved.

He used to be a card magnet.

Every team would love to have a Pab Zab in theirs, thankfully we have one.

You're correct on that. So many teams are crying out for a Pablo because there aren't that many good "Pablos" around.

-Touch Tackling
- Rugged and doesn't give attackers any space or time
-Technically good (compared to English players)
- Consistently consistent
- Hardman

And most of all:
Versatile. Right back, left back, defensive mid.

I believe Pablo is what the Italians call a tuttofare. A handyman.

I love that comment. He is not English so technically he will be better

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

He's always been quality. Always plays his heart out and puts his body on the line for the team. Tonight, he was outstanding. Nasri was MOTM, but Zabba was second.

I've said many a time that despite the scorelines we haven't had a team performance where everybody was on the top of their game. Last night was pretty good with side that oozed a 'winning mentality'!

Most of the players played well yesterday... Silva had a bad day.

I have to say that Clichy was playing very very well

Of course. English players are some of the least technical in Europe. Who's worse really? Even the small countries are producing technical players. It's the future.

Zaba isn't even amazing technically like a Lahm or anything like that, but compared to most English players, everyone will agree Zaba's technically good.

Thought he should of got MOTM last night, he consistently performed well in the game, brilliant Zabba.
