I partly agree with him that Zabaleta as poty is one of the signs of a bad season.
He improved his attacking game this season but come on, he should be nowhere near of being City's best player. He was the most consistent one though but there are fair few of those who are overall much better players than him but were average or below that this year and that's the main reason why he was the best player.
I'd take full fit and in form Micah over Zab too though I'm not sure when we'll see such Micah with amount of injuries he is picking. As much as Zabaleta was rock solid this year the best football City ever played was the one when Richards was regular starter.
But puting him as well as Dzeko and Tevez in bottom 3 is a joke. 2 most consistent players and best league striker could be in bottom 3 only with wicked state of modern football fans.
This. It should be one of our stardust players, silva etc... But isn't because we've been poor.
Personally also I haven't rated zabaleta this season. He's no good in the attacking zone and passes it backwards most of the time. He also dives into tackles like komp which exposes them both in CL

Tevez slows attacks down and is greedy. One of main reasons we haven't been clinical enough.
Inspect his 17 goals and you'll see a lot came in the fa cup v crap teams
