I love the guy's commitment and don't like to needlessly criticise any of our players but I think he's a really ordinary right-back. His decision-making when on the ball or going in for tackles is terrible.

I'm amazed he's been given such a free ride by the moronic boo-boys.

zab is ok but not first choice for me.

We have a big problem at RB as we do not have a consistent performer, but Richards is my first choice.

What does worry me more is LB. Garrido didnt even make the bench ahead of Sylvinho for the game at the weekend and Bridge had a stormer????? Can someone please enlighten me?

Bridge has only recently come back from injury and needed a rest so he will be sharp for the Pool game on Sunday.

Zabba's learning to play in the PL. He's still not learning from his mistakes quickly enough imo but the signs are there he'll keep improving. He was superb v Bolton. Right now he's not a top 4 player though & we shouldn't be relying on him so often.

He shouldn't have even been on the pitch. Bizzarre substitution imo. We needed a goal so brought mad Zabba on?

Zab is a man-marking DM if ever I saw one - RB never!

I was perplexed as to why richards, who was a threat down the right all evening, was taken off and replaced with Zabba when they went down to 10 men - weird one imo and could have (should have) cost us the game

IMHO,he'ss the worst player at the club. I don't know what anyone sees in him at all . Each to their own. Reminds me of Dickov, awful player, much loved.

hmm thats a little harsh imo - I would certainly rate him above Garrido but each to their own

Not a bad footballer by any means. As I've just said elsewhere there are two main problems with Zabba

1) Lack of consistency

2) Rash and often costly decision-making

He is certainly not the worst player at the club though, that's just silly
