Zabaleta: Overtaken Richards as our first choice RB

[Akai]

Zab should start at Newcastle - in fact unchanged team surely!!

Both immense, and 2 of the best in the country. Zaba is the ultimate pro, and hope he's here for years. I'd be happy to see Kolarov go in Summer as Zaba is just as good covering at left back.

It's come to the point now where i don't mind who is picked at RB, Zab or Micah.. what a great position to be in....

If both were made available for transfer who would command the higher fee? Answer is Richards by many million pounds. He has been the best right back in the country this season and should be starting every game (unless he's carrying a knock).

Richards is by far the better player

 

[King Of All Geordies]

Neither player would let us down at Newcastle, but Zabaleta is playing out of his skin at the moment, so I'd go with an unchanged team..

Love Zaba to bits but Micah is the better for me, but saying that would keep Zab in the team for Sunday as his form and confidence are so high.

For power, pace, aerial ability, Richards wins hands down.

However, in my opinion, Zab reads the game slightly better, is better with the ball at his feet, and has a better delivery (with either foot)

its just a beautiful situation to be in with 2 absolute class right backs

this.

both have been brilliant this season.

Richards is by far the better player

I think "by far" is a little OTT but have to agree i would choose him before Zab every time.

Richards is by far the better player

in your opinion.
