Zabaleta Out? Right back discussion {merged}

[George Hannah]

Pelligrini it seems had to risk somebody to play twice in a few days - in defence it could have been Kompany or Zabaleta but he chose both.
That looks uncomfortably like another mistake to me. Boyata could and should have started. But what do I know? (Except that we are now in real trouble with right back cover over the Christmas period.)

I posted this on the wrong thread - so here's another opportunity for Manuel's many enthusiasts to put me right.

I agree on Zaba tbh, Boyata could have played from the start last night, but we took our time bringing Vinnie back this time so I think he's better getting the game time and regaining match sharpness and fitness.

I've seen plenty, try harder.

Who?

Dont just name crap footballers. Tell me who is worse on the ball?

He does a job as he has good positional play, good in the air and is strong in the tackle. On the ball though he is woeful.

Joe Hart.

Sort of agree but without knowing about these things, for a hamstring to go is there a weakness there that would have gone in the Fulham game anyway, maybe somebody with some medical knowledge could answer

An inadvertent confession there George.

I've seen Kolo toure play RB for Ivory coast and he's done ok, we should........

Oh.

 

[nobody can eat fifty eggs]

Boyata for me, Jimmy could play that position comfortably as well. People stop sweating about it.

How long is Zab out?

 

[City Raider]

I hope it's not Boyata. The way we set up it's important our full backs get forward and Milner has so much more to offer.

It was crap in the other thread you didn't need to bring it across here.
