Zabaleta Out? Right back discussion {merged}

[Eds]

Milner all day long, discussion over, lock thread.

Lescott by the way isnt any footed. Ive never in my life seen a footballer so bad on the ball.

Id go Clichy at right back and Kolarov at left back over xmas and new year.

I've seen plenty, try harder.

Milner can't play RB because he can't tackle and is very often passed by. The best he can do is be a nuisance. He is a great at other things but would be a disaster at RB. He could do a job in the center of midfield and let Fernandinho play there but it's too big a change to the shape of the team. Maybe Rodwell could do it but I think the sensible answer is Clichy.

So no Zab Micha or Sergio for at least a month.

When is Nasty back?

Definitely Milner for me. He's effectively done that job on several occasions for England covering for Glen Johnson's defensive inadeqacies. He's also great going forward and putting in crosses. I've lost count of the number of assists he's put in for Negredo or Dzeko over the last few games.

Should be back for pool I think, whether he goes straight back into the team is another thing.
Vk at rb and demich and nasty in the middle?

100% has to be Jimmy as he's the nearest attacking wise that we have to Zabba. We rely on the overlapping fullback runs and no other option is capable of performing that task.
